Abstract excerpt
The deadenylation nuclease or poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is a 3' exonuclease, which degrades the poly(A)-tail of eukaryotic mRNA molecules. By DNA sequence analysis of cDNA and genomic clones, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and reverse transcriptase-PCR, we have determined that the active human PARN gene is located in 16p13 and that a truncated copy lacking the 5' end is located in 15q11. The...
