RNA triphosphatase-mediated mRNA capping is essential for maintaining transcript homeostasis and the survival of Toxoplasma gondii
1 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
RNA modifications are crucial for gene expression in eukaryotes; however, the regulatory role of 5’ 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap, the first modification of mRNA, remains unknown in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Here, we show that the mRNA capping machinery of Toxoplasma consists of three distinct enzymes: RNA triphosphatase, guanylyltransferase, and guanine-N7-methyltransferase, which together add m7G...
