DCP2 | m7GpppN-mRNA hydrolase; Decapping metalloenzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of the cap structure on mRNAs. Removes the 7- methyl guanine cap structure from mRNA molecules, yielding a 5'- phosphorylated mRNA fragment and 7m-GDP. Necessary for the degradation of mRNAs, both in normal mRNA turnover and in nonsense- mediated mRNA decay. Plays a role in replication- dependent histone mRNA degradation. Has higher activity towards mRNAs that lack a poly(A) tail. Has no activity towards a cap structure lacking an RNA moiety. The presence of a N(6)-methyladenosine methylation at the second tran [...] (420 aa) | ||||
MED8 | Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 8; Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene- specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors. May play a role as a targ [...] (301 aa) |
