== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MCEL_VACCW MCEL_VACCW] Catalytic subunit of the mRNA capping enzyme which catalyzes three enzymatic reactions: the 5' triphosphate end of the pre-mRNA is hydrolyzed to a diphosphate by RNA 5' triphosphatase; the diphosphate RNA end is capped with GMP by RNA guanylyltransferase and the GpppN cap is methylated by RNA (guanine-N7) methyltransferase. Heterodimeric mRNA capping enzyme catalyzes the linkage of a N7-methyl-guanosine moiety to the first transcribed nucleotide (cap 0 structure), whereas the polymerase associated VP39 is responsible for a second methylation at the 2'-O position of the ribose (cap 1 structure).<ref>PMID:18295814</ref> <ref>PMID:18455214</ref> <ref>PMID:18256245</ref>   The heterodimeric enzyme is also involved in early viral gene transcription termination and intermediate viral gene transcription initiation. Early gene transcription termination requires the termination factor VTF, the DNA-dependent ATPase NPH-I and the Rap94 subunit of the viral RNA polymerase, as well as the presence of a specific termination motif. Binds, together with RAP94, to the termination motif 5'-UUUUUNU-3' in the nascent early mRNA.<ref>PMID:18295814</ref> <ref>PMID:18455214</ref> <ref>PMID:18256245</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The vaccinia virus mRNA capping enzyme is a multifunctional heterodimeric protein associated with the viral polymerase that both catalyses the three steps of mRNA capping and regulates gene transcription. The structure of a subcomplex comprising the C-terminal N7-methyl-transferase (MT) domain of the large D1 subunit, the stimulatory D12 subunit and bound S-adenosyl-homocysteine (AdoHcy) has been determined at 2.7 A resolution and reveals several novel features of the poxvirus capping enzyme. The structure shows for the first time the critical role played by the proteolytically sensitive N-terminus of the MT domain in binding the methyl donor and in catalysis. In addition, the poxvirus enzyme has a completely unique mode of binding of the adenosine moiety of AdoHcy, a feature that could be exploited for design of specific anti-poxviral compounds. The structure of the poxvirus-specific D12 subunit suggests that it was originally an RNA cap 2'O-MT that has evolved to a catalytically inactive form that has been retained for D1 stabilisation and MT activity enhancement through an allosteric mechanism.
