Cellular context restricts a promiscuous m6A reader IDR to a single functional effector interface for mRNA decay

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a conserved mRNA modification that regulates transcript stability, yet how m6A readers engage effectors remains unknown. We show that during yeast meiosis, the YTH-domain protein Pho92 promotes the decay of m6A-modified transcripts through an uncharacterised, promiscuous intrinsically disord...
