Decapping Enzyme NUDT12 Partners with BLMH for Cytoplasmic Surveillance of NAD-Capped RNAs

The Pillai lab identified that NUDT12 is a decapping enzyme of NAD-capped RNAs in the cytoplasm and forms a complex with BLMH, which is responsible for the localization of the complex. Their findings were published in Cell Reports.

Highlights

  • Human NUDT12 is a decapping enzyme for NAD-capped RNAs
  • ...
