Regulation of eukaryotic mRNA deadenylation and degradation by the Ccr4-Not complex
Accurate and precise regulation of gene expression programmes in eukaryotes involves the coordinated control of transcription, mRNA stability and translation.

Traffic into silence: endomembranes and post-transcriptional RNA silencing. [PDF]
microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are small RNAs that repress gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in plants and animals. Small RNAs guide Argonaute-containing RNA-induced silencing complexes to target RNAs in a sequence-

Mechanisms of deadenylation‐dependent decay [PDF]
AbstractDegradation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) plays an essential role in modulation of gene expression and in quality control of mRNA biogenesis. Nearly all major mRNA decay pathways characterized thus far in eukaryotes are initiated by deadenylation, i.e., shortening of the mRNA 3′ poly(A) tail.

A functional deadenylation assay identifies human CUG‐BP as a deadenylation factor [PDF]
Abstract CUG‐BP is a human nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA‐binding protein. A role in the control of alternative splicing has been reported, but to date no cytoplasmic function for this protein has been demonstrated. A close sequence homolog of CUG‐BP is EDEN‐BP that is required for the specific cytoplasmic poly(A) tail shortening of certain mRNAs after ...

The Dynamic Poly(A) Tail Acts as a Signal Hub in mRNA Metabolism
In eukaryotes, mRNA metabolism requires a sophisticated signaling system. Recent studies have suggested that polyadenylate tail may play a vital role in such a system.

Deadenylation and P-Bodies [PDF]
Deadenylation is the major step in triggering mRNA decay and results in mRNA translation inhibition in eukaryotic cells. Therefore, it is plausible that deadenylation also induces the mRNP remodeling required for formation of GW bodies or RNA processing bodies (P-bodies), which harbor translationally silenced mRNPs.

Cap-dependent deadenylation of mRNA [PDF]
Poly(A) tail removal is often the initial and rate-limiting step in mRNA decay and is also responsible for translational silencing of maternal mRNAs during oocyte maturation and early development. Here we report that deadenylation in HeLa cell extracts and by a purified mammalian poly(A)-specific exoribonuclease, PARN (previously designated ...

Viruses and the cellular RNA decay machinery. [PDF]
The ability to control cellular and viral gene expression, either globally or selectively, is central to a successful viral infection, and it is also crucial for the host to respond and eradicate pathogens.

Oligomerization of EDEN-BP is required for specific mRNA deadenylation and binding. [PDF]
International audienceBACKGROUND INFORMATION: mRNA deadenylation [shortening of the poly(A) tail] is often triggered by specific sequence elements present within mRNA 3' untranslated regions and generally causes rapid degradation of the mRNA.

A novel class of microRNA-recognition elements that function only within open reading frames. [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well known to target 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs) in mRNAs, thereby silencing gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.
