Shortening of 3’ UTRs in most cell types composing tumor tissues implicates alternative polyadenylation in protein metabolism
2021-07-01
Abstract excerpt
During pre-mRNA maturation 3’ end processing can occur at different polyadenylation sites in the 3’ untranslated region (3’ UTR) to give rise to transcript isoforms that differ in the length of their 3’UTRs. Longer 3’ UTRs contain additional cis-regulatory elements that impact the fate of the transcript and/or of the resulting protein. Extensive alternative polyadenylation (APA) has been observed in cancers, but t...
