title: More than 1 + 2 in mRNA decapping.
abstract: Decapping of messenger RNA was thought to involve a complex of only Dcp1 and Dcp2, but new data suggest that a larger multisubunit decapping complex exists in mammals. The larger complex includes a protein that facilitates the association of the two Dcp proteins and can be recruited by specific factors that promote mRNA decay.
