Abstract excerpt
The decapping of eukaryotic mRNAs is a key step in their degradation. The heteroheptameric Lsm1p-7p complex is a general activator of decapping and also functions in protecting the 3' ends of deadenylated mRNAs from a 3'-trimming reaction. Lsm1p is the unique member of the Lsm1p-7p complex, distinguishing that complex from the functionally different Lsm2p-8p complex. To understand the function of Lsm1p, we...
