Human mitochondrial mRNAs are stabilized with polyadenylation regulated by mitochondria-specific poly (A) polymerase and polynucleotide phosphorylase

T Nagaike, T Suzuki, T Katoh, T Ueda - Journal of biological Chemistry, 2005 - ASBMB
Mammalian mitochondrial (mt) mRNAs have short poly (A) tails at their 3′ termini that are
post-transcriptionally synthesized by mt poly (A) polymerase (PAP). The polyadenylation of …
