A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.57

Accepted Name
Methyltransferase cap1.
Alternative Name(s)
Cap1-MTase.
mRNA (nucleoside-2'-O)-methyltransferase.
Reaction catalysed
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a 5'-(N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-(purine-ribonucleotide)-[mRNA] <=> S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a 5'-(N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-(2'-O-methyl-purine-ribonucleotide)-[mRNA]
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme catalyzes the methylation of the ribose on the first transcribed nucleotide of mRNA or snRNA molecules, which may be either guanosine or adenosine.
  • This methylation event is known as cap1, and occurs in all mRNAs and snRNAs of higher eukaryotes, including insects, vertebrates and their viruses.
  • The human enzyme can also methylate mRNA molecules that lack methylation on the capping 5'-triphosphoguanosine.
  • Formerly EC 2.1.1.58.
