RNMT catalyzes methylation of the cap at the N-7 position to create the methyl cap, m7G(5')ppp(5')X. RNMT can only catalyze methylation of guanosine when it is a component of a cap structure attached to a transcript. RAM (RNMT-Activating Mini protein)/Fam103a1 is required for efficient cap methylation in vitro and in vivo, and is indirectly required to maintain mRNA expression levels, for mRNA translation and for cell viability.
