Abstract excerpt
A characteristic feature of gene expression in eukaryotes is the addition of a 5'-terminal 7-methylguanine cap (m7GpppN) to nascent pre-mRNAs in the nucleus catalyzed by capping enzyme and cap methyltransferase. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of cap methyltransferase in HeLa cells resulted in apoptosis as measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-tetramethylrhodamine nick end...
