General decapping activators target different subsets of inefficiently translated mRNAs
The Dcp1-Dcp2 decapping enzyme and the decapping activators Pat1, Dhh1, and Lsm1 regulate mRNA decapping, but their mechanistic integration is unknown. We analyzed the gene expression consequences of deleting PAT1, LSM1, or DHH1, or the DCP2 C-terminal ...

Pby1 is a direct partner of the Dcp2 decapping enzyme. [PDF]
International audienceMost eukaryotic mRNAs harbor a characteristic 5 m 7 GpppN cap that promotes pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA nucleocytoplasmic transport and translation while also protecting mRNAs from exonucleolytic attacks.

Fluorescence-Based Activity Screening Assay Reveals Small Molecule Inhibitors of Vaccinia Virus mRNA Decapping Enzyme D9. [PDF]
[Image: see text] Vaccinia virus (VACV) represents a family of poxviruses, which possess their own decapping machinery as a part of their strategy to eliminate host mRNAs and evade the innate immune response.

Structure and function of the bacterial decapping enzyme NudC. [PDF]
RNA capping and decapping are thought to be distinctive features of eukaryotes. The redox cofactor NAD was recently discovered to be attached to small regulatory RNAs in bacteria in a cap-like manner, and Nudix hydrolase NudC was found to act as a NAD ...

Molecular basis of the selective processing of short mRNA substrates by the DcpS mRNA decapping enzyme. [PDF]
The 5' messenger RNA (mRNA) cap structure enhances translation and protects the transcript against exonucleolytic degradation. During mRNA turnover, this cap is removed from the mRNA.

Dcp2 C-terminal Cis-Binding Elements Control Selective Targeting of the Decapping Enzyme by Forming Distinct Decapping Complexes [preprint] [PDF]
This article is a preprint. Preprints are preliminary reports of work that have not been certified by peer review.A single Dcp1-Dcp2 decapping enzyme targets diverse classes of yeast mRNAs for decapping-dependent 5’ to 3’ decay, but the molecular ...

Dcp2: an mRNA decapping enzyme that adopts many different shapes and forms.
Eukaryotic mRNAs contain a 5' cap structure that protects the transcript against rapid exonucleolytic degradation. The regulation of cellular mRNA levels therefore depends on a precise control of the mRNA decapping pathways.

Is mRNA decapping by ApaH like phosphatases present in eukaryotes beyond the Kinetoplastida?
Background ApaH like phosphatases (ALPHs) originate from the bacterial ApaH protein and have been identified in all eukaryotic super-groups. Only two of these proteins have been functionally characterised.
