Scientific Background

Target data S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that adds a methylphosphate cap at the 5'-end of 7SK snRNA (7SK RNA), leading to stabilize it (PubMed : 17643375, PubMed : 19906723, PubMed : 30559425). Also has a non-enzymatic function as part of the 7SK RNP complex : the 7SK RNP complex sequesters the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) in a large inactive 7SK RNP complex preventing RNA polymerase II phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional elongation (PubMed : 17643375). The 7SK RNP complex also promotes snRNA gene transcription by RNA polymerase II via interaction with the little elongation complex (LEC) (PubMed : 28254838). In the 7SK RNP complex, MEPCE is required to stabilize 7SK RNA and facilitate the assembly of 7SK RNP complex (PubMed : 19906723, PubMed : 38100593). MEPCE has a non-enzymatic function in the 7SK RNP complex; interaction with LARP7 within the 7SK RNP complex occluding its catalytic center (PubMed : 19906723). Also required for stability of U6 snRNAs (PubMed : 38100593). See full target information MEPCE
