you can translate more proteins
327
What causes mrna to degrade
the shortening of the poly-a tail by nuclease
328
What happens when the poly a tail less than 25 exists in mrna
decapping then there is rapid forward degredation or continued degredation
329
What is eIF
Binds to the 5' cap to prevent degredation
330
what is the poly-a tail binding protein
it is a protein that bings to the a cap
331
What is the effect pf having the cap and the polytail
it causes it to be ready for translation
332
What causes the a tail to go
the deadenylase competing with the binding protein
