'''mRNA capping enzyme''' (Mce)
'''mRNA capping enzyme''' (Mce) is a multfunctonal protein with RNA triphosphatase, RNA guanylyltransferase, RNA methyltransferase and transcription factor activities activities.  Mce activity entails the transfer of GMP from GTP to the 5'-diphosphate end of mRNA via a enzyme-(lysyl-GMP) intermediate.  In Vaccinia virus the active site is at Lys260 within the conserved motif KxDG in thencatalytic subunit<ref>PMID:7565775</ref>.
