tif1 | ATP-dependent RNA helicase eIF4A; ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome. In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'-UTR of mRNAs which is necessary to allow efficient binding of the small ribosomal subunit, and subsequent scanning for the initiator codon (By similarity).

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) |
