The mRNA decapping protein 2 (DCP2) is a major regulator of developmental events in Drosophila—insights from expression paradigms

R Kunar, JK Roy - Cell and Tissue Research, 2021 - Springer
The Drosophila genome codes for two decapping proteins, DCP1 and DCP2, out of which
DCP2 is the active decapping enzyme. The present endeavour explores the endogenous …

A Forward Genetic Approach to Mapping a P-Element Second Site Mutation Identifies DCP2 as a Novel Tumor Suppressor in Drosophila melanogaster

R Mishra, R Kunar, L Mandal, DP Alone… - G3: Genes …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The use of transposons to create mutations has been the cornerstone of Drosophila genetics
in the past few decades. Second-site mutations caused by transpositions are often devoid …

DCP2 plays multiple roles during Drosophila development – possible case of moonlighting?

R Kunar, JK Roy - bioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
mRNA decapping proteins (DCPs) are components of the P-bodies in the cell which are hubs
of mRNAs targeted for decay and they provide the cell with a reversible pool of mRNAs in …
