We found that AS2 promotes DCP2 decapping activity, accelerates mRNA turnover rate, inhibits siRNA accumulation and functions as an endogenous suppressor of post-transcriptional gene silencing
Title: Geminivirus Activates ASYMMETRIC LEAVES 2 to Accelerate Cytoplasmic DCP2-Mediated mRNA Turnover and Weakens RNA Silencing in Arabidopsis.

DCP1 and DCP2 respond differently to environmental changes, indicating that P-bodies have diverse DCP1 and DCP2 proportions depending on environmental conditions.
Title: Diffuse decapping enzyme DCP2 accumulates in DCP1 foci under heat stress in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A mutation in AtDCP2 (At5g13570) caused the co-suppression phenotype in the its1 mutant, which displayed increased transgene silencing.
Title: The Arabidopsis DCP2 gene is required for proper mRNA turnover and prevents transgene silencing in Arabidopsis.

Seedling lethal phenotypes in dcp1, dcp2 and vcs mutants are caused the disruption of miRNA-mediated gene regulation.
Title: The role of decapping proteins in the miRNA accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana.

DCP5 associates with DCP1 and DCP2 and is required for mRNA decapping in vivo. In spite of its association with DCP2, DCP5 has no effect on DCP2 decapping activity in vitro, suggesting that the effect on decapping in vivo is indirect.
Title: Arabidopsis decapping 5 is required for mRNA decapping, P-body formation, and translational repression during postembryonic development.
