Abstract excerpt
The bifunctional mammalian mRNA capping enzyme (Mce1) consists of an N-terminal triphosphatase domain Mce1(1-210) fused to a C-terminal guanylyltransferase domain Mce1(211-597). The physical domain order H(2)N-triphosphatase-guanylyltransferase-COOH mimics the temporal order of the capping reactions. To determine if the physical domain order is functionally important in vivo, we engineered an "inverted" mammalian...
