Abstract excerpt
mRNA turnover in eukaryotes involves the removal of m7GDP from the 5' end. This decapping reaction is mediated by a protein complex well characterized in yeast and human but not in plants. The function of the decapping complex in the development of multicellular organisms is also poorly understood. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana DCP2 can generate from capped mRNAs, m7GDP, and 5'-phosphorylated mRNAs in...
