Article Synopsis
- RNA polyadenylation, led by poly(A) polymerases, uses ATP to add adenine to RNA, which can impact the stability of those RNA molecules.
- This study explored what happens when the gene for the main poly(A) polymerase, PAP I, is inactivated, finding that over a thousand RNAs were stabilized and ATP levels dropped by 20%.
- The research revealed a direct connection between ATP levels and RNA stability, indicating that low ATP can stabilize RNAs when PAP I activity is reduced, highlighting the role of energy in RNA metabolism.
