Roles of mRNA poly (A) tails in regulation of eukaryotic gene expression

LA Passmore, J Coller - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2022 - nature.com
In eukaryotes, poly (A) tails are present on almost every mRNA. Early experiments led to the
hypothesis that poly (A) tails and the cytoplasmic polyadenylate-binding protein (PABPC) …
