S-adenosyl-L-methionine + G(5')pppR-RNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + m7G(5')pppR-RNA (mRNA containing an N7-methylguanine cap)

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and G(5')pppR-RNA, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and m7G(5')pppR-RNA. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases.

In humans, mRNA cap guanine-N7 methyltransferase is encoded by the RNMT gene.[5][6][7]

Nomenclature edit

The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:mRNA (guanine-N7-)-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include:

  • messenger ribonucleate guanine 7-methyltransferase,
  • guanine-7-methyltransferase,
  • messenger RNA guanine 7-methyltransferase, and
  • S-adenosyl-L-methionine:mRNA (guanine-7-N-)-methyltransferase.
  • cap MTase
