Abstract Decapping Scavenger (DcpS) enzyme was initially identified by its ability to hydrolyze the cap structure resulting from mRNA decay. Human DcpS is an established target for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and hepatic metastasis. Recently, the protein has been linked to neuronal development regulation and implicated in certain developmental neurological disorders. Here we demonstrate for the first time that DcpS of the human and C.

Abstract Plants constantly and precisely control their growth by inducing distinct developmental programs to survive and produce high-quality offspring in the changing environment. The fine-tuning of the development according to endogenous and environmental signals requires exact intercellular signaling and a balanced response. Kinases of the Sucrose non-fermenting-1-Related protein Kinases type 2 (SnRK2s) family primarily take part in the response and adaptation to environmental stress factors.

Abstract TRAPP (transport protein particle) tethering complexes are known for their function as Rab-GTPase exchange factors (GEFs). Two versions of the complex are considered functionally separate: TRAPPII, an activator of GTPases of the Rab11 family (RabA in plants) which functions in post-Golgi sorting, and TRAPPIII, activating the Rab1 family (RabD in plants) which regulates ER-to-Golgi trafficking and autophagy.
