DCS1

DcpS, YLR270W
Non-essential hydrolase involved in mRNA decapping; activates Xrn1p; may function in a feedback mechanism to regulate deadenylation, contains pyrophosphatase activity and a HIT (histidine triad) motif; acts as inhibitor of neutral trehalase Nth1p; required for growth on glycerol medium; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; DCS1 has a paralog, DCS2, that arose from the whole genome duplication

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Scavenger decapping activity facilitates 5' to 3' mRNA decay.

Liu H, Kiledjian M

mRNA degradation occurs through distinct pathways, one primarily from the 5' end of the mRNA and the second from the 3' end. Decay from the 3' end generates the m7GpppN cap dinucleotide, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to m7Gp and ppN in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by a scavenger decapping activity termed Dcs1p. Although Dcs1p functions in the last step of mRNA turnover, ... [more]
