Background Descriptions | Eukaryotic cells primarily utilize exoribonucleases and decapping enzymes to degrade their mRNA. DcpS is a scavenger pyrophosphatase that hydrolyzes the residual cap structure following 3' to 5' decay of an mRNA. Following mRNA degradation DcpS releases N-7 methyl guanosine monophosphate and 5'-diphosphate terminated cap or mRNA products. The central histidine within the DcpS HIT motif is critical for decapping activity and defines the HIT motif as a new mRNA decapping domain, making DcpS the first member of the HIT family of proteins with a defined biological function. HIT proteins are homodimeric and contain two conserved 100-amino-acid HIT fold domains with independent active sites that are each sufficient to bind and hydrolyze cognate substrates. |

Function | Decapping scavenger enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of a residual cap structure following the degradation of mRNAs by the 3'->5' exosome-mediated mRNA decay pathway. Hydrolyzes cap analog structures like 7-methylguanosine nucleoside triphosphate (m7GpppG) with up to 10 nucleotide substrates (small capped oligoribonucleotides) and specifically releases 5'-phosphorylated RNA fragments and 7- methylguanosine monophosphate (m7GMP). Cleaves cap analog structures like tri-methyl guanosine nucleoside triphosphate (m3(2,2,7)GpppG) with very poor efficiency. Does not hydrolyze unmethylated cap analog (GpppG) and shows no decapping activity on intact m7GpppG-capped mRNA molecules longer than 25 nucleotides. Does not hydrolyze 7- methylguanosine diphosphate (m7GDP) to m7GMP (PubMed:22985415). May also play a role in the 5'->3 mRNA decay pathway; m7GDP, the downstream product released by the 5'->3' mRNA mediated decapping activity, may be also converted by DCPS to m7GMP (PubMed:14523240). Binds to m7GpppG and strongly to m7GDP. Plays a role in first intron splicing of pre-mRNAs. Inhibits activation-induced cell death. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Predominantly localized in the nucleus. Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein that can transiently enter the cytoplasm in mammalian cells in a XPO1/CRM1- dependent manner |
Tissue Location | Detected in liver, brain, kidney, testis and prostate. |
