3′-end processing of eukaryotic mRNA: machinery, regulation, and impact on gene expression

V Boreikaitė, LA Passmore - Annual review of biochemistry, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Formation of the 3′ end of a eukaryotic mRNA is a key step in the production of a mature
transcript. This process is mediated by a number of protein factors that cleave the pre …
