Structure of the activated Edc1-Dcp1-Dcp2-Edc3 mRNA decapping complex with substrate analog poised for catalysis

The decapping enzyme Dcp2 removes the 5′ eukaryotic cap from mRNA transcripts and acts in concert with its essential activator Dcp1 and various coactivators. Here the authors present the structure of the fully-activated mRNA decapping complex, which reveals how Dcp2 recognizes the cap substrate and...
