Abstract excerpt
Maturation of most eukaryotic mRNA 3' ends requires endonucleolytic cleavage and polyadenylation of precursor mRNAs. To further understand the mechanism and function of mRNA 3' end processing, we identified a temperature-sensitive mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae defective for polyadenylation. Genetic analysis showed that the polyadenylation defect and the temperature sensitivity for growth result from a single...
