Catalytic activity of the Bin3/MEPCE methyltransferase domain is dispensable for 7SK snRNP function in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
2023-06-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Methylphosphate Capping Enzyme (MEPCE) monomethylates the gamma phosphate at the 5’ end of the 7SK noncoding RNA, a modification thought to protect 7SK from degradation. 7SK serves as a scaffold for assembly of a snRNP complex that inhibits transcription by sequestering the positive elongation factor P-TEFb. While much is known about the biochemical activity of MEPCE in vitro , little is known...
