Proline-rich nuclear receptor coactivator motif
The PNRC family, proline-rich nuclear receptor coactivator, is found in eukaryotes. Studies in S. pombe show that the proteins carrying this motif are mRNA decapping proteins. In addition, this motif is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae two intrinsically disordered decapping enhancers Edc1 and Edc2, which show limited sequence conservation with human PNRC2. This motif in the N-terminal domain serves two purposes: it enhances the activity of the catalytic domain by recognizing part of the mRNA cap structure (i.e. activation motif) , and secondly, it directly interacts with the decapping activator Dcp1. Mutation in the (YAG) sequence led to los of activity of activate the decapping complex. Hence the activity of the family members involved in mRNA processing mechanisms depends on YAG activation motif that is 11-13 residues N-terminal of a conserved LPxP Dcp1 interaction motif.
