Gene expression is a crucial and well-orchestrated interplay between transcription,
translation, and mRNAs and proteins decay. In eukaryotes, cytoplasmic mRNA decay is
intimately linked to translation and mediated for a large part by the 5’- 3’ mRNA degradation
pathway. After mRNA decapping by the DCP complex, with the assistance of its co-factors, the
mRNA is degraded by the exonuclease Xrn1 (Parker 2012; Fromont-Racine and Saveanu 2014;...
