IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, found in eukaryotes and some plus strand RNA viruses (e.g. alphavirus), is involved in mRNA capping. Unlike the eukaryotic enzyme, the viral enzyme requires a purine in the first position of the mRNA. The human enzyme is a multi domain protein that also has the activity of EC 2.7.7.50, mRNA guanylyltransferase.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
