Sm-like protein LSm1; Lsm (Like Sm) protein; forms heteroheptameric complex (with Lsm2p, Lsm3p, Lsm4p, Lsm5p, Lsm6p, and Lsm7p) involved in degradation of cytoplasmic mRNAs; also enters the nucleus and positively regulates transcription initiation; unlike most Sm-like proteins, Lsm1p requires both its SM-domain and C-terminal domain for RNA-binding; binds to mRNAs under glucose starvation, most often in the 3' UTR; forms cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress.

U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm3; Lsm (Like Sm) protein; part of heteroheptameric complexes (Lsm2p-7p and either Lsm1p or 8p): cytoplasmic Lsm1p complex involved in mRNA decay; nuclear Lsm8p complex part of U6 snRNP and possibly involved in processing tRNA, snoRNA, and rRNA; protein increases in abundance and relocalizes from nucleus to cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress.

m7GpppN-mRNA hydrolase; Catalytic subunit of Dcp1p-Dcp2p decapping enzyme complex; removes 5' cap structure from mRNAs prior to their degradation; also enters nucleus and positively regulates transcription initiation; nudix hydrolase family member; forms cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress; human homolog DCP2 complements yeast dcp2 thermosensitive mutant.

Subunit of the Dcp1p-Dcp2p decapping enzyme complex; decapping complex removes the 5' cap structure from mRNAs prior to their degradation; enhances the activity of catalytic subunit Dcp2p; regulated by DEAD box protein Dhh1p; forms cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress.

Cytoplasmic DEAD-box helicase, stimulates mRNA decapping; coordinates distinct steps in mRNA function and decay, interacting with both decapping and deadenylase complexes; role in translational repression, mRNA decay, and possibly mRNA export; interacts and cooperates with Ngr1p to promote specific mRNA decay; ATP- and RNA-bound form promotes processing body (PB) assembly, while ATPase stimulation by Not1p promotes PB disassembly; forms cytoplasmic foci on replication stress; Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX6/DHH1 subfamily.

DNA topoisomerase 2-associated protein PAT1; Deadenylation-dependent mRNA-decapping factor; also required for faithful chromosome transmission, maintenance of rDNA locus stability, and protection of mRNA 3'-UTRs from trimming; associated with topoisomerase II; binds to mRNAs under glucose starvation, most often in the 3' UTR; functionally linked to Pab1p; forms cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress; phosphorylation by PKA inhibits P body foci formation; Belongs to the PAT1 family.

Antiviral helicase SKI2; Ski complex component and putative RNA helicase; mediates 3'-5' RNA degradation by the cytoplasmic exosome; null mutants have superkiller phenotype of increased viral dsRNAs and are synthetic lethal with mutations in 5'-3' mRNA decay; mutations in the human ortholog, SKIV2L, causes Syndromic diarrhea/Trichohepatoenteric (SD/THE) syndrome; Belongs to the helicase family. SKI2 subfamily.

U1 snRNP A protein; homolog of human U1-A; involved in nuclear mRNA splicing; Belongs to the RRM U1 A/B'' family.

RNA binding protein, component of the U1 snRNP protein; mutants are defective in meiotic recombination and in formation of viable spores, involved in the formation of DSBs through meiosis-specific splicing of REC107 pre-mRNA; Nam8p regulon embraces the meiotic pre-mRNAs of REC107, HFM1, AMA1 SPO22 and PCH2; the putative RNA binding domains RRM2 and RRM3 are required for Nam8p meiotic function.
