Characterization of genes encoding poly(A) polymerases in plants: evidence for duplication and functional specialization.

BACKGROUND:Poly(A) polymerase is a key enzyme in the machinery that mediates mRNA 3' end formation in eukaryotes. In plants, poly(A) polymerases are encoded by modest gene families. To better understand this multiplicity of genes, poly(A) polymerase-encoding genes from several other plants, as...
