Transgenesis of mammalian PABP reveals mRNA polyadenylation as a general stress response mechanism in bacteria

Summary: In eukaryotes, mRNA 3′-polyadenylation triggers poly(A) binding protein (PABP) recruitment and stabilization. In a stark contrast, polyadenylation marks mRNAs for degradation in bacteria. To study this difference, we trans-express the mammalian nuclear PABPN1 chromosomally and extra-chromos...
