The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in eukaryotes. The majority of m6A sites are found in the last exon and 3’ UTRs. Here we show that the nuclear m6A reader YTHDC1 is essential for embryo viability and germline development in mouse. Specifically, YTHDC1 is required for spermatogonial development in males and for oocyte growth and maturation in females; Ythdc1-deficient oocytes are blocked at the primary follicle stage. Strikingly, loss of YTHDC1 leads to extensive alternative polyadenylation in oocytes, altering 3’ UTR length. Furthermore, YTHDC1 deficiency causes massive alternative splicing defects in oocytes. The majority of splicing defects in mutant oocytes are rescued by introducing wild-type, but not m6A-binding-deficient, YTHDC1. YTHDC1 is associated with the pre-mRNA 3’ end processing factors CPSF6, SRSF3, and SRSF7. Thus, YTHDC1 plays a critical role in processing of pre-mRNA transcripts in the oocyte nucleus and may have similar non-redundant roles throughout fetal development. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, one type of RNA methylation, is the most abundant internal RNA modification in eukaryote messenger RNAs. m6A is specifically recognized by RNA-binding reader proteins. Here we report an essential role of the nuclear m6A reader, YTHDC1, in embryo development and fertility. In particular, YTHDC1 is required for oocyte growth and maturation. YTHDC1-deficient oocytes exhibit massive defects in alternative splicing, which can be rescued by introducing into mutant oocytes wild-type, but not m6A-binding-deficient, YTHDC1. Strikingly, loss of YTHDC1 causes extensive alternative polyadenylation in oocytes, resulting in altered 3’ UTR length. YTHDC1 interacts with the pre-mRNA 3’end processing factors CPSF6, SRSF3, and SRSF7. Thus, YTHDC1 is a key nuclear factor in the processing of pre-mRNA transcripts.
