Definition
English
:
A poly(A) binding protein that is involved in promoting the extension of the
poly A
tails of MRNA. The protein requires a minimum of ten
ADENOSINE
nucleotides
in order for binding to mRNA. Once bound it works in conjunction with
CLEAVAGE AND POLYADENYLATION SPECIFICITY FACTOR
to stimulate the rate of
poly A
synthesis by
POLY A
POLYMERASE. Once poly-A tails reach around 250
nucleotides
in length poly(A) binding protein II no longer stimulates
POLYADENYLATION
. Mutations within a GCG repeat region in the gene for poly(A) binding protein II have been shown to cause the
disease
MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY
, OCULOPHARYNGEAL.
