Distinct roles of non-canonical poly(A) polymerases in RNA metabolism [PDF]
Trf4p and Trf5p are non-canonical poly(A) polymerases and are part of the heteromeric protein complexes TRAMP4 and TRAMP5 that promote the degradation of aberrant and short-lived RNA substrates by interacting with the nuclear exosome. To assess the level

Sequence Determinants for Nuclear Retention and Cytoplasmic Export of mRNAs and lncRNAs
Eukaryotes are divided into two major compartments: the nucleus where RNA is synthesized and processed, and the cytoplasm, where mRNA is translated into proteins.

The function of the protein phosphatase Glc7p in transcription termination, RNA processing and transcriptional regulation of ribosomal protein genes [PDF]
Gene transcription in general can be subdivided into three main phases: transcription initiation, elongation and termination. The enzyme that accomplishes transcription of protein coding genes, snRNAs and snoRNAs is RNA polymerase II (RNAP II).

RNA Binding Proteins that Control Human Papillomavirus Gene Expression
The human papillomavirus (HPV) life cycle is strictly linked to the differentiation program of the infected mucosal epithelial cell. In the basal and lower levels of the epithelium, early genes coding for pro-mitotic proteins and viral replication ...

Improved annotation of 3' untranslated regions and complex loci by combination of strand-specific direct RNA sequencing, RNA-seq and ESTs [PDF]
The reference annotations made for a genome sequence provide the framework for all subsequent analyses of the genome. Correct and complete annotation in addition to the underlying genomic sequence is particularly important when interpreting the results ...

Alterations in polyadenylation and its implications for endocrine disease
IntroductionPolyadenylation is the process in which the pre-mRNA is cleaved at the poly(A) site and a poly(A) tail is added - a process necessary for normal mRNA formation.

Functional characterization of Ysh1p, the yeast endonuclease involved in 3" end processing and in transcription termination of RNA polymerase II transcripts [PDF]
Eukaryotic RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) is involved in the synthesis of two major classes of transcripts: messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and small nuclear and small nucleolar RNAs.

Transcription regulation of the Escherichia coli pcnB gene coding for poly(A) polymerase I: roles of ppGpp, DksA and sigma factors [PDF]
Poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I), encoded by the pcnB gene, is a major enzyme responsible for RNA polyadenylation in Escherichia coli, a process involved in the global control of gene expression in this bacterium through inXuencing the rate of transcript ...
