Meanings
- uncountableA second or subsequent adenylation, especially one following deadenylation.
The processes of deadenylation and readenylation of the t-PA mRNA are controlled by nucleotide sequences found in the 3'untranslated region (UTR).
1995, Pia Glas-Greenwalt, Fibrinolysis in Disease1 more example
It did not change during the cell cycle, indicating that these changes were dependent on the presence of CPE, and poly(A) tails were generally long, maintaining the long poly(A) tails acquired co-transcriptionally, and therefore indicating that CPEs are required for deadenylation of the mature transcript as well as for later readenylation at specific cell cycle phases.
