Gene Description

qkr58E-1 encodes a nuclear KH-domain RNA-binding protein associated with spliceosomal complexes. Its conserved RNA-binding architecture and recovery in Drosophila spliceosome preparations support a role in pre-mRNA processing and regulation of splicing. The native PA product is 396 residues; it regulates selected alternative-splicing events, while its exact RNA recognition sequence and any universal requirement in splicing remain unresolved.

ACCEPT
Summary: Alternative-splicing regulation is supported by direct fly RNAi experiments and is consistent with the curated phylogenetic assignment.
Reason: PMID:27919077 Extended Data Figure 10b identifies qkr58E-1 as a regulator of fl(2)d splicing after RNAi. This directly corroborates the inherited regulation-of-splicing role without assigning universal necessity or m6A-reader activity.
