edc3 | Enhancer of mRNA-decapping protein 3; Stimulates decapping of both stable and unstable mRNA during mRNA decay. Stimulates decapping presumably by preventing the DCP1-DCP2 decapping complex from adopting an inactive conformation. Belongs to the EDC3 family. (454 aa) | ||||
dcp2 | mRNA decapping complex subunit 2; Catalytic component of the decapping complex necessary for the degradation of mRNAs, both in normal mRNA turnover and in nonsense- mediated mRNA decay. Removes the 7-methyl guanine cap structure from mRNA molecules, yielding a 5'-phosphorylated mRNA fragment and 7m-GDP. Decapping is the major pathway of mRNA degradation in yeast. It occurs through deadenylation, decapping and subsequent 5' to 3' exonucleolytic decay of the transcript body. (741 aa) |
