Expression data from mid-aged decapping mutant C. elegans nematodes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Removal of the 5’ cap of mRNAs (decapping) is mainly catalyzed by a conserved holoenzyme, composed of the catalytic subunit DCP2 and its essential cofactor DCP1. Studies in C. elegans have shown that ageing is characterized by the accumulation of decapping factors in P-Bodies, and loss of DCAP-1/DCP1 or DCAP-2/DCP2 significantly shortens lifespan. However, the relationship between mRNA decapping and ageing remains elusive. Here we present a comparative microarray study that aims to uncover this link by identifying differentially expressed genes between wild type mid-aged worms (9 days old) and age-matched animals with reduced function of DCAP-1/DCP1.
