2'-O-methylation of the mRNA cap protects RNAs from decapping and degradation by DXO.

2'-O-methylation of the mRNA cap protects RNAs from decapping and degradation by DXO.

The 5' RNA cap structure (m7GpppRNA) is a key feature of eukaryotic mRNAs with important roles in stability, splicing, polyadenylation, mRNA export, and translation. Higher eukaryotes can further modify this minimal cap structure with the addition of a methyl group on the ribose 2'-O posit...
