Recent studies showed that Rai1 and its homologs are a crucial component of the mRNA 5?-end capping quality control mechanism. They can possess RNA 5?-end pyrophosphohydrolase (PPH), decapping, and 5?-3? exonuclease (toward 5? monophosphate RNA) activities, which help to degrade mRNAs with incomplete 5?-end capping. A single active site in the enzyme supports these apparently distinct activities. However, each Rai1 protein studied so far has a unique set of activities, and the molecular basis for these differences are not known. Here, we have characterized the highly diverse activity profiles of Rai1 homologs from a collection of fungal organisms and identified a new activity for these enzymes, 5?-end triphosphonucleotide hydrolase (TPH) instead of PPH activity. Crystal structures of two of these enzymes bound to RNA oligonucleotides reveal differences in the RNA binding modes. Structure-based mutations of these enzymes, changing residues that contact the RNA but are poorly conserved, have substantial effects on their activity, providing a framework to begin to understand the molecular basis for the different activity profiles.
