Cytoplasmic mRNA turnover in fission yeast
Abstract
Gene expression depends on RNA molecules. RNA stability and functionality can be controlled by post-transcriptional modifications. One of such modifications is uridylation – the addition of one to several uridine residues to the 3′ end of an RNA molecule. Uridylation has been detected in both non-coding and messenger RNA (mRNA) of most eukaryotic organisms. Uridylation usually leads to destabilization and degradation of molecules. It is a pervasive modification of most cellular mRNAs, however, its exact contribution to bulk mRNA decay is still unclear.
In my laboratory, we use fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) as a model to study the role of uridylation in bulk mRNA turnover.
