Analysis of mutations in the yeast mRNA decapping enzyme.
Genetics - 1 Apr 1999
Tharun S, Parker R
Abstract excerpt
A major mechanism of mRNA decay in yeast is initiated by deadenylation, followed by mRNA decapping, which exposes the transcript to 5' to 3' exonucleolytic degradation. The decapping enzyme that removes the 5' cap structure is encoded by the DCP1 gene. To understand the function of the decapping...
