Abstract: | Background The Viridiplantae (green algae and land plants) consist of two monophyletic lineages: the Chlorophyta and the Streptophyta.
Most green algae belong to the Chlorophyta, while the Streptophyta include all land plants and a small group of freshwater
algae known as Charophyceae. Eukaryotes attach a poly-A tail to the 3' ends of most nuclear-encoded mRNAs. In embryophytes,
animals and fungi, the signal for polyadenylation contains an A-rich sequence (often AAUAAA or related sequence) 13 to 30
nucleotides upstream from the cleavage site, which is commonly referred to as the near upstream element (NUE). However, it
has been reported that the pentanucleotide UGUAA is used as polyadenylation signal for some genes in volvocalean algae. |
