Eukaryotic mRNA 3' processing: a common means to different ends.
In principle, the formation of the 3 end of a eukaryotic mRNA is a simple process. At a minimum, it involves the hydrolysis of a single phosphodiester bond in the nascent transcript. For one unique class of mRNAs, transcripts of the metazoan replication-dependent histone genes, this is indeed the only requirement. All other eukaryotic mRNAs require both cleavage and subsequent poly(A) addition ...
متن کاملEnds to a means
Most of the familiar garden birds we see all the time have a very short life: just a few years for the commoner species. But some birds have the potential for a very long life and a new study has looked at chromosomal status that may be linked with longevity. A team of international scientists headed by Pat Monahan at the University of Glasgow report, in Proceedings B of the Royal Society (publ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of eukaryotic pre-mRNA 3′ end processing regulation
Messenger RNA (mRNA) 3' end formation is a nuclear process through which all eukaryotic primary transcripts are endonucleolytically cleaved and most of them acquire a poly(A) tail. This process, which consists in the recognition of defined poly(A) signals of the pre-mRNAs by a large cleavage/polyadenylation machinery, plays a critical role in gene expression. Indeed, the poly(A) tail of a matur...
متن کاملArchitecture of eukaryotic mRNA 3′-end processing machinery
Newly transcribed eukaryotic precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) are processed at their 3' ends by the ~1-megadalton multiprotein cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF). CPF cleaves pre-mRNAs, adds a polyadenylate tail, and triggers transcription termination, but it is unclear how its various enzymes are coordinated and assembled. Here, we show that the nuclease, polymerase, and phosphatase...
متن کاملWays and means of eukaryotic mRNA decay.
Messenger RNA degradation is an important point of control for gene expression. Genome-wide studies on mRNA stability have demonstrated its importance in adaptation and stress response. Most of the key players in mRNA decay appear to have been identified. The study of these proteins brings insight into the mechanism of general and specific targeting of transcripts for degradation. Recruitment a...
