2.1.1.296 | more |
a conventional 5'-terminal structure of eukaryotic mRNAs consists of a 7-methylguanosine (m7G) moiety linked to the first transcribed nucleotide by a 5' to 5' triphosphate bridge resulting in the structure m7GpppN, which is referred to as cap 0, and most often the first and second transcribed nucleotide carry 2'-O-methyl groups (cap 1 and cap 2 structures, respectively). The cap2 methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.296 transfers the methyl group to the second nucleotide. In contrast, four nucleotides adjacent to the m7G cap are methylated at the SL RNA 5' end to generate a cap 4 structure: m7G-ppp-N6,N6,2'-O-trimethyladenosine-p-2'-O-methyladenosine-p-2'-O-methylcytosine-p-N3,2'-O-methyluridine. The cap 4 structure seems to be restricted to the family Trypanosomatidae |

the enzyme builds the cap 4 structure, usage of an assay with digestion with ribonuclease T2, to monitor the presence of 2'-O-modifications at positions +1 to +4 of the SL sequence |

the recombinant enzyme produces a RNase T2-resistant RNA fragment, cap012, from cap01-RNA, but shows no activity with a purified BAP protein. Only a subset of labeled RNA molecules that has GpppG incorporated during transcription is a substrate for hMTr2. hMTr2 recognizes TMG-capped snRNAs in vitro |
