Attacked from All Sides: RNA Decay in Antiviral Defense
The innate immune system has evolved a number of sensors that recognize viral RNA (vRNA) to restrict infection, yet the full spectrum of host-encoded RNA binding proteins that target these foreign RNAs is still unknown.

Vaccinia virus D10 has broad decapping activity that is regulated by mRNA splicing.
The mRNA 5' cap structure serves both to protect transcripts from degradation and promote their translation. Cap removal is thus an integral component of mRNA turnover that is carried out by cellular decapping enzymes, whose activity is tightly regulated

Background: RNA binding proteins play crucial role in determining if a given mRNA will be translated, stored, or degraded. Sbp1 is an RGG-motif containing protein that is implicated in affecting mRNA decapping and translation.

Composition and function of P bodies in Arabidopsis thaliana
mRNA accumulation is tightly regulated by diverse molecular pathways. The identification and characterization of enzymes and regulatory proteins involved in controlling the fate of mRNA offers the possibility to broaden our understanding of ...

mRNA decapping: finding the right structures [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the elimination of the m7GpppN mRNA cap, a process known as decapping, is a critical, largely irreversible and highly regulated step of mRNA decay that withdraws the targeted mRNAs from the pool of translatable templates. The decapping reaction is catalysed by a multi-protein complex formed by the Dcp2 catalytic subunit and its Dcp1 ...

How Cancer Exploits Ribosomal RNA Biogenesis: A Journey beyond the Boundaries of rRNA Transcription
The generation of new ribosomes is a coordinated process essential to sustain cell growth. As such, it is tightly regulated according to cell needs. As cancer cells require intense protein translation to ensure their enhanced growth rate, they exploit ...

A Novel NAD-RNA Decapping Pathway Discovered by Synthetic Light-Up NAD-RNAs
The complexity of the transcriptome is governed by the intricate interplay of transcription, RNA processing, translocation, and decay. In eukaryotes, the removal of the 5’-RNA cap is essential for the initiation of RNA degradation.

Translation of Enzymically Decapped Messenger RNA [PDF]
An enzymic procedure was used to remove the 7‐methylguanosine diphosphate moiety at the 5′ ends of rabbit hemoglobin mRNA and mouse immunoglobulin light‐chain mRNA. Evidence was obtained that the procedure, which involves the use of polynucleotide kinase, does not result in any further degradation of the mRNA.The enzymically decapped mRNA was as ...

This scientific review deals with the mechanisms of action of cytoplasmic microRNAs, namely post-transcriptional silencing: recruitment of the DCP1-DCP2 decapping complex and disruption of the interaction of mRNA with ribosomes.

Targeted mRNA Degradation by Deadenylation-Independent Decapping [PDF]
Modulating the rate of mRNA degradation is a fast and efficient way to control gene expression. In a yeast strain deleted of EDC3, a component of the decapping machinery conserved in eukaryotes, the transcript coding the ribosomal protein Rps28b is specifically stabilized, as demonstrated by microarray and time course experiments.
