The enzyme removes (decaps) the N7-methylguanosine 5-phosphate cap from an mRNA degraded to a maximal length of 10 nucleotides [3,6]. Decapping is an important process in the control of eukaryotic mRNA degradation. The enzyme functions to clear the cell of cap structure following decay of the RNA body . The nematode enzyme can also decap triply methylated substrates, 5'-(N2,N2,N7-trimethyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] .

eukaryotic mRNA degradation proceeds through two main pathways, both involving mRNA cap breakdown. In the 3'-5' mRNA decay pathway, mRNA body degradation generates free m7GpppN that is hydrolyzed by DcpS generating m7GMP. In the 5'-3' pathway, the recently identified human Dcp2 decapping enzyme cleaves the cap of deadenylated mRNAs to produce m7GDP and 5'-phosphorylated mRNA
eukaryotic cells utilize DcpS, a scavenger decapping enzyme, to degrade the residual cap structure following 30-50 mRNA decay, thereby preventing the premature decapping of the capped long mRNA and misincorporation of methylated nucleotides in nucleic acids
n = 1-8, decapping is an important process in the control of eukaryotic mRNA degradation. The scavenger decapping enzyme DcpS functions to clear the cell of cap structure following decay of the RNA body by catalyzing the hydrolysis of m7GpppN to m7Gp and ppN

n = 1-8, the recombinant protein specifically hydrolyzes methylated cap analog but does not hydrolyze unmethylated cap analog nor does it function on intact capped RNA. DcpS is capable of acting on an mRNA once it is degraded down to 10 nucleotides

C5-quinazolines potently inhibit DcpS decapping activity. Binding of C5-substituted quinazolines to DcpS holds the enzyme in an open, catalytically incompetent conformation
DcpS exhibits different enzymatic kinetics under low and high substrate conditions, negative cooperativity between two wild type subunits, reduced decapping activity is displayed by the DcpSWT/HIT heterodimer under high substrate conditions
DcpS is a molecule that modulates cap concentrations for cellular homeostasis of gene expression activities involving at least RNA processing. A nuclear function for DcpS in maintaining proper pre-mRNA splicing

in contrast, and similar to the m7GpppG-DcpS complex, DcpS with bound m7GDP is an asymmetric dimer in which the closed state appears to be the substrate-bound complex, whereas the open state mimics the product-bound complex. apo-DcpS is a symmetric dimer
hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method at 20°C. Structures of DcpS in ligand-free form and in a complex with m7GDP. Examination of the crystallographic B-factors indicates that the N-terminal domain in apo-DcpS is inherently flexible, and in a dynamic state ready for substrate binding and product release
