Abstract excerpt
mRNA capping is a cotranscriptional event mediated by the association of capping enzyme with the phosphorylated carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, capping enzyme is composed of two subunits, the mRNA 5'-triphosphatase (Cet1) and the mRNA guanylyltransferase (Ceg1). Here we map interactions between Ceg1, Cet1, and the CTD. Although the guanylyltransferase...
