RNA guanine-N7 methyltransferase activating subunit
Definition:
Regulatory subunit of the mRNA-capping methyltransferase RNMT:RAMAC complex that methylates the N7 position of the added guanosine to the 5'-cap structure of mRNAs. Promotes the recruitment of the methyl donor, S-adenosyl-L-methionine, to RNMT. Regulates RNMT expression by a post-transcriptional stabilizing mechanism. Binds RNA.
