malfunction
Alkbh5-deficient male mice have increased m6A in mRNA and are characterized by impaired fertility resulting from apoptosis that affects meiotic metaphase stage spermatocytes
physiological function
knockdown of FTO increases m6A methylation in critical protumorigenic melanoma cell-intrinsic genes including PD-1, CXCR4, and SOX10, leading to increased RNA decay through the m6A reader YTHDF2. Knockdown of FTO sensitizes melanoma cells to interferon gamma and sensitizes melanoma to anti-PD-1 treatment in mice
