Abstract excerpt
Decapping 1 (DCP1), Decapping 2 (DCP2) and VARICOSE (VCS) are components of the decapping complex that removes the 7-methyl-guanosine 5'-diphosphate from the 5' end of mRNAs. In animals, the decapping proteins are involved in miRNA-mediated gene silencing, whereas in plants the roles of the decapping proteins in the miRNA pathway are not well understood. Here we demonstrated that the accumulation of miRNAs...
