5'-(N7-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] diphosphatase

The enzyme removes (decaps) the N7-methylguanosine 5-phosphate cap from an mRNA degraded to a maximal length of 10 nucleotides. Decapping is an important process in the control of eukaryotic mRNA degradation. The enzyme functions to clear the cell of cap structure following decay of the RNA body. The nematode enzyme can also decap triply methylated substrates, 5'-(N2,N2,N7-trimethyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA].
