Regulation of mRNA translation and stability by microRNAs. (2010, background): “The poly(A) tail functions as a translational enhancer whereby the PABP directly interacts with the eIF4G to effectively circularize the mRNA (78).”
Poly(A)-binding proteins: multifunctional scaffolds for the post-transcriptional control of gene expression (2003, unknown): “for the protein synthesis apparatus to ensure preferential translation of mRNAs containing both a cap and a poly(A) tail [74] and may create an opportunity for ribosomes to recycle from the 3 to the 5 end of the same mRNA [27,75].”
