Control of mRNA decapping by positive and negative regulatory elements in the Dcp2 C-terminal domain.
RNA (New York, N.Y.) - 1 Sept 2015
He Feng, Jacobson Allan
Abstract excerpt
Decapping commits an mRNA to complete degradation and promotes general 5' to 3' decay, nonsense-mediated decay (NMD), and transcript-specific degradation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a single decapping enzyme composed of a regulatory subunit (Dcp1) and a catalytic subunit (Dcp2) targets thousands of distinct substrate mRNAs. However, the mechanisms controlling this enzyme's in vivo activity and substrate...
