Abstract excerpt
The decay of eukaryotic mRNA is triggered mainly by deadenylation, which leads to decapping and degradation from the 5' end of an mRNA. Poly(A)-binding protein has been proposed to inhibit the decapping process and to stabilize mRNA by blocking the recruitment of mRNA to the P-bodies where mRNA degradation takes place after stimulation of translation initiation. In contrast, several lines of evidence show that...
