Is mRNA decapping activity of ApaH like phosphatases (ALPHs) the reason for the loss of cytoplasmic ALPHs in all eukaryotes but Kinetoplastida?
P. A. Castaneda Londono, N. Banholzer, B. Bannerman, S. Kramer
The paper investigates whether mRNA decapping by ALPHs is restricted to Kinetoplastida or widespread in eukaryotes, finding that most eukaryotes have non-cytoplasmic ALPHs with decapping activity.
