Giardia lamblia, polyadenylation, and irreducible complexity
-
In the vernacular of a proponent of intelligent design, the polyadenylation complex would seem to be irreducibly complex.
-
This streamlining is especially notable in the case of the polyadenylation machinery.
-
Genetic studies in yeast indicate that virtually every subunit of the core complex is essential - for viability and for pre-mRNA processing and polyadenylation in vitro and in vivo.
-
As this series of essays has explained, the polyadenylation of messenger RNAs is a vital aspect of gene expression in eukaryotic cells and a not-so-unimportant facet of RNA metabolism in other contexts.
