Functional Family mRNA-decapping enzyme 2

Enzyme Information

3.6.1.62
5'-(N(7)-methylguanosine 5'-triphospho)-[mRNA] hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt P53550
5'-(N(7)-methylguanosine 5'-triphospho)-[mRNA] + H(2)O = N(7)- methylguanosine 5'-diphosphate + 5'-phospho-[mRNA].
-!- Decapping of mRNA is a critical step in eukaryotic mRNA turnover. -!- The enzyme is unable to cleave a free cap structure (m(7)GpppG). -!- The enzyme from Vaccinia virus is synergistically activated in the presence of Mg(2+) and Mn(2+). -!- Formerly EC 3.6.1.30.
