A new mRNA capping enzyme has been identified, PCIF1/CAPAM, which methylates adenosine when it is the first transcribed nucleotide. This discovery is crucial for understanding the function of cap adenosine methylation %U https://www.cell.com/trends/biochemical-sciences/fulltext/S0968-0004(19)30002-7
