Poly(A) tails are added posttranscriptionally, by a class of enzymes called poly(A) polymerases, to both prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNAs.
by J Guo2011Cited by 37 — Poly(A) signals consist of short redundant sequences that are not restricted to mapped gene 3′ ends. This is particularly apparent in the yeast ...
by DA Mangus2003Cited by 682 — Most eukaryotic mRNAs are subject to considerable post-transcriptional modification, including capping, splicing, and polyadenylation.
Poly(A)-binding proteins bind to poly(A) tails as soon as they are synthesized in the nucleus, and then they chaperone the ...
