Abstract excerpt
Many eukaryotic mRNAs exhibit regulated decay in response to cellular signals. AU-rich elements (AREs) identified in the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of several such mRNAs play a critical role in controlling the half-lives of these transcripts. The yeast ARE-containing mRNA, MFA2, has been studied extensively and is degraded by a deadenylation-dependent mechanism. However, the trans-acting factors that promote...
