Terminal Uridylyltransferases TUT4/7 Regulate microRNA and mRNA Homeostasis

  • Pengcheng Zhang,
  • Mallory I. Frederick and
  • Ilka U. Heinemann

23 November 2022

The terminal nucleotidyltransferases TUT4 and TUT7 (TUT4/7) regulate miRNA and mRNA stability by 3′ end uridylation. In humans, TUT4/7 polyuridylates both mRNA and pre-miRNA, leading to degradation by the U-specific exonuclease DIS3L2. We inves...
