Abstract excerpt
The alpha-globin mRNA has previously been shown to be the target of an erythroid-enriched endoribonuclease (ErEN) activity which cleaves the mRNA within the 3'-untranslated region. We have currently undertaken a biochemical approach to purify this enzyme and have begun characterization of the enzyme to determine requirements for substrate recognition as well as optimal cleavage conditions. Through mutational...
