Investigating the role of mRNA capping enzyme in C-MYC function
… transcription, C-MYC promotes formation of the mRNA cap which is important for transcript maturation and translation. However, the mechanistic details of C-MYC-dependent mRNA capping are not fully understood. Since anti-cancer strategies to directly target the C-MYC protein have had limited …

Investigating the role and regulation of mRNA capping in pluripotency and differentiation
The mRNA cap added to the 5’ end of nascent transcripts is required for the efficient gene expression in eukaryotes. In vertebrates, the guanosine cap is methylated at N7 position by RNMT, which is in complex with its activating subunit RAM. Additionally, the first and second transcribed …

Investigating the Role of the mRNA Capping Enzymes in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells and Differentiation
The mRNA cap consists of a series of co-transcriptional modifications on nascent transcripts that confer protection from degradation and mediate RNA processing and translation. The addition of an inverted guanosine cap to the 5’-end of the transcript and its subsequent methylation along with the …

REGULATION OF EUKARYOTIC TRANSCRIPTIONAL ELONGATION AND ASSOCIATED DNA REPAIR
… physical interaction between FACT and Cet1p, the mRNA capping enzyme, targets FACT to the active gene independently of Cet1p’s mRNA capping activity. Such targeting of FACT to the active gene leads to the release of promoter proximally paused-RNAPII into transcriptional elongation. However, the …

Structural and Functional Studies of the SARS-CoV-2 NiRAN Domain
… NMPylation, RNAylation, and deRNAylation/capping via a GDP-polyribonucleotidyltransferase reaction. The latter two activities comprise an unconventional mechanism for initiating viral RNA 5′ cap formation, while the role of NMPylation is unclear. Prior to this work, the structural …
