The plant Nudix hydrolase family. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Nudix hydrolases are a family of proteins defined by a conserved amino-acid sequence GX(5)-EX(7)REUXEEXGU, where U is a hydrophobic residue. These enzymes are widely distributed among all classes of organisms and catalyze, with varying degrees of ...

Creatine mitigates neurogenesis impairment caused by defective DcpS decapping

open access: yesScientific Reports
Biallelic mutations in the DCPS gene disrupting the decapping activity of the scavenger decapping protein DcpS, leads to neurodevelopmental deficiencies and intellectual disability.

The Role of N6‐Methyladenosine Modification in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in eukaryotes, acting as a pivotal epitranscriptomic regulator of RNA metabolism. This modification plays a dual role: it maintains physiological homeostasis under normal conditions but drives disease progression when dysregulated.

Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 12, Page 3502-3527, June 2026.
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

Characterization of Arabidopsis decapping proteins AtDCP1 and AtDCP2, which are essential for post-embryonic development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Although decapping is an important process in eukaryotic mRNA turnover, little is known about this process in plants. Here, we identified Arabidopsis thaliana decapping proteins AtDCP1 and AtDCP2 and showed that (I) AtDCP2 is an active decapping enzyme, (

Family-wide analysis of human macrodomains reveals novel activities and identifies PARG as most efficient ADPr-RNA hydrolase

open access: yesCommunications Biology
ADP-ribosylation is well-known as protein posttranslational modification and was recently also identified as RNA posttranscriptional modification. When macrodomain proteins were identified as protein ADP-ribosylhydrolases, several ADP-ribosylation ...

Molecular mechanisms of messenger RNA decapping

open access: yes, 2019
The work presented in this doctoral thesis describes biochemical and structural investigations of the molecular mechanisms of messenger RNA decapping—a critical step in one of the major cytoplasmic messenger RNA decay pathways. Decapping, mediated by the

Active Site Conformational Dynamics Are Coupled to Catalysis in the mRNA Decapping Enzyme Dcp2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
SummaryRemoval of the 5′ cap structure by Dcp2 is a major step in several 5′–3′ mRNA decay pathways. The activity of Dcp2 is enhanced by Dcp1 and bound coactivators, yet the details of how these interactions are linked to chemistry are poorly understood.

Decapping activators in Saccharomyces cerevisiae act by multiple mechanisms

open access: yes, 2010
Eukaryotic mRNA degradation often occurs in a process whereby translation initiation is inhibited and the mRNA is targeted for decapping. In yeast cells, Pat1, Scd6, Edc3, and Dhh1 all function to promote decapping by an unknown mechanism(s).
