RALY binds the PRMT1 pre-mRNA and promotes inclusion of alternative exon 2, increasing abundance of the PRMT1v2 isoform. Knockdown of RALY decreases PRMT1v2 relative expression and reduces invasion in breast cancer cells; re-expression of PRMT1v2 rescues the invasion defect. |

RALY binds PRMT1 mRNA and regulates its expression; RALY down-regulation decreases PRMT1 protein levels, reducing arginine methylation of FUS. RALY knockout enhances nuclear translocation of FUS NLS mutants and decreases aggregate formation. RALY and FUS interact in an RNA-dependent manner in motor neurons; mutations in FUS NLS or RALY NLS reciprocally alter their localization and interaction with target mRNAs. |

RALY acts as a regulatory component of the Drosha complex and promotes post-transcriptional processing of specific miRNAs (miR-483, miR-676, miR-877), which then downregulate mitochondrial metabolism genes (ATP5I, ATP5G1, ATP5G3, CYC1). This miRNA processing is facilitated by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of pri-miRNA terminal loops under ROS stress; inhibition of m6A methylation abolishes RALY recognition of pri-miRNA terminal loops. |

RALY binds to RNA polymerase II and the Ehmt2 gene promoter, enhancing Ehmt2 (G9a) transcription in dorsal root ganglion neurons. Downregulation of DS-lncRNA promotes increased RALY binding to these genomic elements, elevating G9a and consequently reducing opioid receptor and Kcna2 expression to cause neuropathic pain. |

RALY stabilizes non-polyadenylated TERRA transcripts, and its depletion results in lower TERRA levels, impaired TERRA localization at telomeres, and telomere damage. RALY preferentially binds non-polyadenylated TERRA over polyadenylated TERRA. TERRA also interacts with poly(A)-binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1), and TERRA stability is regulated by interplay between RALY and PABPN1 defined by TERRA polyadenylation state. |

RALY simultaneously binds Mdm2 and the deubiquitinase USP7, stimulating USP7 deubiquitinating activity toward Mdm2 (stabilizing Mdm2) and increasing Mdm2's trans-E3 ligase activity toward p53, resulting in enhanced p53 ubiquitination and degradation. RALY thereby promotes lung tumorigenesis through p53 inhibition. |
