Anti-WTAP

WTAP,also named as KIAA0105 and hFL(2)D,is previously identified as a protein associated with Wilms' tumor-1 (WT-1) protein that is essential for the development of the genitourinary system. It is a Pre-mRNA-splicing regulator protein. It is a regulatory subunit of the WMM N6-methyltransferase complex which plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing and processing and mRNA stability. It is required for accumulation of METTL3 and METTL14 to nuclear speckle. Protein function: Associated component of the WMM complex, a complex that mediates N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of RNAs, a modification that plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing and RNA processing (PubMed:29507755). Required for accumulation of METTL3 and METTL14 to nuclear speckle (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:24981863). Acts as a mRNA splicing regulator (PubMed:12444081). Regulates G2/M cell-cycle transition by binding to the 3' UTR of CCNA2, which enhances its stability (PubMed:17088532). Impairs WT1 DNA-binding ability and inhibits expression of WT1 target genes (PubMed:17095724). [The UniProt Consortium]
