EC 3.6.1.59 Details
EC number
3.6.1.59
Accepted name
5′-(N7-methyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] diphosphatase
Reaction
a 5′-(N7-methyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] + H2O = N7-methylguanosine 5′-phosphate + a 5′-diphospho-[mRNA]
Other name(s)
DcpS, m7GpppX pyrophosphatase, m7GpppN m7GMP phosphohydrolase, m7GpppX diphosphatase, m7G5′ppp5’N m7GMP phosphohydrolase
Systematic name
5′-(N7-methyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] N7-methylguanosine 5′-phosphate phosphohydrolase
Comment
The enzyme removes (decaps) the N7-methylguanosine 5-phosphate cap from an mRNA degraded to a maximal length of 10 nucleotides [3,6]. Decapping is an important process in the control of eukaryotic mRNA degradation. The enzyme functions to clear the cell of cap structure following decay of the RNA body [2]. The nematode enzyme can also decap triply methylated substrates, 5′-(N2,N2,N7-trimethyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] [4].
