Cellular stress alters 3′UTR landscape through alternative polyadenylation and isoform-specific degradation

The function and consequences of alternative polyadenylation (APA) in stressed cells are largely unclear. Here, the authors show that stress-induced mRNA degradation depends on 3′UTR length and that APA-mediated 3′UTR shortening is an adaptive stress response mechanism for selective transcript stabi...
