UniProt functional annotation for O13297

UniProt code: O13297.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: First step of mRNA capping. Converts the 5'-triphosphate end of a nascent mRNA chain into a diphosphate end. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12788946}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a 5'-end triphospho-(purine-ribonucleoside) in mRNA + H2O = a 5'-end diphospho-(purine-ribonucleoside) in mRNA + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11008, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:13929, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:13942, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:138276, ChEBI:CHEBI:138288; EC=3.1.3.33;
Cofactor: Name=a divalent metal cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60240; Note=Divalent metal ions.;
Subunit: The mRNA-capping enzyme is composed of two separate chains alpha and beta, respectively a mRNA guanylyltransferase and an RNA 5'- triphosphatase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12788946}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Miscellaneous: Present with 3900 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the fungal TPase family. {ECO:0000305}.
