 Use of poly(a) polymerase


Poly(A) polymerase catalyzes the incorporation of ATP into the RNA 3' end in the form of AMP, that is, adding a polyadenosine tail at the RNA 3' end. Poly(A) polymerase increases RNA stability and increases mRNA translation efficiency in eukaryotic cells. Poly(A) polymerase has high tailing efficiency and can add 20-200 A bases to the 3' end of RNA[1][2].
