3.6.1.62

Accepted name:

5′-(N⁷-methylguanosine 5′-triphospho)-[mRNA] hydrolase

Reaction:

a 5′-(N⁷-methylguanosine 5′-triphospho)-[mRNA] + H₂O = N⁷-methylguanosine 5′-diphosphate + a 5′-phospho-[mRNA]

Glossary:

N⁷-methylguanosine 5′-diphosphate = m7GDP

Other name(s):

Dcp2; NUDT16; D10 protein; D9 protein; D10 decapping enzyme; decapping enzyme; m⁷GpppN-mRNA hydrolase; m⁷GpppN-mRNA m⁷GDP phosphohydrolase

Systematic name:

5′-(N⁷-methylguanosine 5′-triphospho)-[mRNA] N⁷-methylguanosine-5′-diphosphate phosphohydrolase

Comments:

Decapping of mRNA is a critical step in eukaryotic mRNA turnover. The enzyme is unable to cleave a free cap structure (m⁷GpppG) [3]. The enzyme from Vaccinia virus is synergistically activated in the presence of Mg²⁺ and Mn²⁺ [5].
