Poly(A) tail length control operates through a kinetic ruler mechanism in which Nab2 concentration quantifies RNA length.
Poly(A) tail length control operates through a kinetic ruler mechanism in which Nab2 concentration quantifies RNA length.
The Nab2 dimer is stable only on poly(A) tails longer than 25 adenosines, which explains avoidance of premature termination.
The Nab2 dimer is stable only on poly(A) tails longer than 25 adenosines, which helps avoid premature termination of poly(A) synthesis.
Variations in Nab2 RNA binding rate can shift poly(A) tail lengths, and in cells these variations are buffered by autoregulation of Nab2 protein concentration.
