In eukaryotes, the 3' ends of RNA polymerase II-generated transcripts are made in the majority of cases by site-specific endonucleolytic cleavage, followed by the addition of a poly(A) tail. By altern
The 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) of mRNAs play a critical role in controlling gene expression and function because they contain binding sites for microRNAs and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) that alt
UPF1-mediated decay entails several mRNA surveillance pathways that play a crucial role in cellular homeostasis. However, the precise role of UPF1 in postmitotic neurons remains unresolved, as does it
Complex organisms are able to generate differential gene expression through the same set of DNA sequences in distinct cells. The communication between chromatin and RNA regulates how cells behave in t
