Abstract excerpt
Mammalian mitochondria contain their own genome that is almost fully transcribed from both strands, generating polycistronic RNA units that are processed and matured. The mitochondrial mRNA is modified by oligo- or polyadenylation at the 3' termini, but the exact function of this post-transcriptional addition is unclear. Current debate focuses on the role of polyadenylation in transcript stability. An equally...
