- Abstract
The levels of cellular messenger RNA transcripts can be regulated by controlling the rate at which the mRNA decays. Because decay rates affect the expression of specific genes, they provide a cell with flexibility in effecting rapid change. Moreover, many clinically relevant mRNAs--including several encoding cytokines, growth factors and proto-oncogenes--are regulated by differential RNA stability. But what are the sequence elements and factors that control the half-lives of mRNAs?
