How to get all "A"s in polyadenylation.
In an elegant study in this issue of Structure, Balbo and Bohm (2007) report the crystal structure of yeast poly(A) polymerase in a ternary complex with its substrate MgATP and the elongating poly(A) tail, providing molecular insights into the mechanism of polyadenylation.
