Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which c-fos mRNA is targeted for decay have been examined. Rapid removal of the poly(A) tail occurs before the transcribed portion of the c-fos message is degraded. Identification of the determinants that mediate c-fos message deadenylation reveals that they coincide directly with previously characterized determinants of c-fos mRNA instability, one in the protein-coding region and the other an...
