| Systematic Name | Ygl192wp |
| Alias | Spo8p |
| ORF Classification | Verified |
| Description | mRNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase required for entry into meiosis; mediates N6-adenosine methylation of bulk mRNA during the induction of sporulation which includes the meiotic regulators IME1, IME2 and IME4 itself; repressed in haploids via production of antisense IME4 transcripts; transcribed in diploid cells where antisense transcription is repressed; orthologous to human METTL3 (MT-A70) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) |
| Name Description | Inducer of MEiosis 1, 6 |
