Transcriptional control shapes a cell's transcriptome composition, but it is RNA processing that refines its expression. The untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNA are hotspots for regulatory control. Features in these can impact mRNA stability, localisation and translation. Here we describe how alternative cleavage and polyadenylation can change mRNA fate by changing the length of its 3'UTR.
转录控制决定了细胞的转录组组成,但 RNA 加工才是对其表达进行精细调控的关键。mRNA 的非翻译区(UTR)是调控的热点。这些区域的特征会影响 mRNA 的稳定性、定位和翻译。在这里,我们描述了可变剪接和多聚腺苷酸化如何通过改变其 3'UTR 的长度来改变 mRNA 的命运。
