      Dohnalkova, Michaela; Krasnykov, Kyrylo; Mendel, Mateusz; Li, Lingyun; Panasenko, Olesya; Fleury-Olela, Fabienne; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Homolka, David; Pillai, Ramesh S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Eukaryotic RNA pol II transcripts are capped at the 5′ end by the methylated guanosine (m7G) moiety. In higher eukaryotes, CMTR1 and CMTR2 catalyze cap-proximal ribose methylations on the first (cap1) and second (cap2) ...
    • The Mammalian Cap-Specific m<sup>6</sup>Am RNA Methyltransferase PCIF1 Regulates Transcript Levels in Mouse Tissues 

      Pandey, Radha Raman; Delfino, Elena; Homolka, David; Roithova, Adriana; Chen, Kuan-Ming; Li, Lingyun; Franco, Giulia; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Taillebourg, Emmanuel; Fauvarque, Marie-Odile; Pillai, Ramesh S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The 5′ end of eukaryotic mRNAs is protected by the m7G-cap structure. The transcription start site nucleotide is ribose methylated (Nm) in many eukaryotes, whereas an adenosine at this position is further methylated at the ...
