The RNA Polymerase II C-Terminal Domain Phosphatase-Like Protein FIERY2/CPL1 Interacts with eIF4AIII and Is Essential for Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay in Arabidopsis.
This entry represents Fcp1 and its homologues, including CTDP1 from humans and CPL1/2/3/4/5 from Arabidopsis. They are carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) phosphatases. CPL1 has been shown to interact with two NMD (nonsense-mediated decay) factors, eIF4AIII and UPF3, and is involved in the dephosphorylation of eIF4AIII []. CPL4 functions as a pol II CTD phosphatase and has been shown to dephosphorylate both Ser2- and Ser5-PO(4) of CTD in vitro []. Budding yeast Fcp1 has been shown to dephosphorylate RNA polymerase (RNAP) II subunit, and this interaction is modulated by the Pin1 protein [].
