Defects in malin are associated with Lafora disease (LD)—a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by myoclonus seizures. We show here that malin is recruited to the processing bodies and that malin regulates the recruitment of mRNA decapping enzyme Dcp1a by promoting its degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome system. Depletion of malin results in elevated levels of Dcp1a and an altered microRNA-mediated gene silencing activity.
