RNA triphosphatase-mediated mRNA capping is essential for maintaining transcript homeostasis and the survival of Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRNA modifications are crucial for gene expression in eukaryotes; however, the regulatory role of 5’ 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap, the first modification of mRNA, remains unknown in the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii.

The role of sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase in the reabsorption of sodium by the kidney. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1967 In order to evaluate the possible role of sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase in the active transport of sodium by the renal tubules, we examined the effect of large changes in the tubular reabsorptive load of sodium on the Na-K ...

Hydrogen peroxide yields mechanistic insights into human mRNA capping enzyme function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Capping of nascent RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcripts is required for gene expression and the first two steps are catalyzed by separate 5' triphosphatase and guanylyltransferase activities of the human capping enzyme (HCE).

Erythrocyte inosine triphosphatase activity is decreased in HIV-seropositive individuals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND:Inosine triphosphatase (ITPase) is encoded by the polymorphic gene ITPA and maintains low intracellular levels of the inosine nucleotides ITP and dITP. The most frequently reported polymorphisms are ITPA c.94C>A (rs 1127354) and ITPA c. 124+21

RNA triphosphatase is essential in
BMC Microbiology, 2001 Background The first two steps in the capping of cellular mRNAs are catalyzed by the enzymes RNA triphosphatase and RNA guanylyltransferase. Although structural and mechanistic differences between fungal and mammalian RNA triphosphatases recommend this ...
