Abstract excerpt
The mechanism whereby eukaryotic pre-messenger RNAs are polyadenylated is unknown. Most models for polyadenylation invoke cleavage of precursor transcripts at the site of poly(A) addition followed by polymerization of A residues by poly(A) polymerase. Analysis of the sequences surrounding poly(A) addition sites has identified the consensus recognition sequence element AAUAAA as necessary but not sufficient for...
