RNA DECAPPING ENZYMES -
RNA decapping enzymes catalyze the removal/degradation of the 5' cap structure that is present on most eukaryotic mRNAs and small nuclear RNAs, and thereby modulate RNA turnover. Canonical decapping enzymes (Nudix hydrolases, such as DCP2) hydrolyse a pyrophosphate bond in the 5' N7-methyl guanosine (m7G) cap of intact RNA molecules, thereby exposing a free 5' monophosphate to nucleases and initiating a 5' -> 3' decay pathway. Others (HIT family proteins, such as DCPS) act as scavengers and cleave a pyrophosphate bond of m7G capped di- or oligonucleotide remnants of the 3' -> 5' decay pathway. Members of the diverse DXO protein family (e.g. Rai1/DXO) are mainly involved in mRNA cap quality control and selectively cleave bonds in the 5' end of uncapped (triphosphorylated) mRNAs or mRNAs with an unmethylated cap. DXO family proteins are also involved in the removal of the NAD+ cap variant. (Adapted from PMID:30345629.)

If you don't see a structure in the viewer, refresh your browser.
Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Additional Descriptive Data

DCP2-PA is the major isoform expressed in ovaries, embryos, and first instar larvae. DCP2 colocalizes with DCP1 and Ge-1 in the cytoplasm of oogenesis stage 6 nurse cells. It localizes with Ge-1 to the osk mRNP at the oocyte posterior cortex at stage S10.

DCP2 protein is observed in the cytoplasm of nurse cells from early oogeneis stages to stage 8-9. At stage 10, cytoplasmic foci in nurse cells are greatly reduced and staining is concentrated mainly in the nucleus.

          dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is transfected into S2 cells to study the genes role in decapping.

          dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene.

          In contrast to the decapping enzymes in yeast and humans, the Dcp2 product does not seem to participate in the nonsense-mediated decay pathway.
