In recent years, several noncanonical RNA caps derived from cofactors and metabolites have been identified. Purine-containing RNA caps have been extensively studied, with multiple decapping enzymes identified and efficient capture and sequencing protocols developed for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-RNA, which allowed for a stepwise elucidation of capping functions. Despite being identified as an abundant noncanonical RNA-cap, UDP-sugar-capped RNA remains poorly understood, which …
