Reovirus guanylyltransferase is L2 gene product lambda 2. 1986

D R Cleveland, and H Zarbl, and S Millward

Reovirus guanylyltransferase, studied as a covalent enzyme-GMP intermediate, was used to guanylate appropriate acceptor molecules in vitro to produce authentic cap structures. Guanylyltransferase activity was associated with lambda 2, the 140-kilodalton product of the L2 gene segment of reovirus serotypes 1 and 3.

D012315	RNA Caps	Nucleic acid structures found on the 5' end of eukaryotic cellular and viral messenger RNA and some heterogeneous nuclear RNAs. These structures, which are positively charged, protect the above specified RNAs at their termini against attack by phosphatases and other nucleases and promote mRNA function at the level of initiation of translation. Analogs of the RNA caps (RNA CAP ANALOGS), which lack the positive charge, inhibit the initiation of protein synthesis.	RNA Cap,5' Capped RNA,5' mRNA Cap Structure,Cap, RNA,Caps, RNA,RNA, 5' Capped
D012330	RNA, Double-Stranded	RNA consisting of two strands as opposed to the more prevalent single-stranded RNA. Most of the double-stranded segments are formed from transcription of DNA by intramolecular base-pairing of inverted complementary sequences separated by a single-stranded loop. Some double-stranded segments of RNA are normal in all organisms.	Double-Stranded RNA,Double Stranded RNA,RNA, Double Stranded
