A cell has a defect in polyadenylation. The RNA transcripts encoding which type of protein would not be affected by this defect because they are not polyadenylated?
A)histone proteins
B)transcription factors
C)transmembrane proteins
D)DNA binding proteins
E)SR proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Histone proteins do not undergo polyadenylation because they do not require translation. They are involved in packaging DNA and do not have a traditional protein-coding function. Therefore, the defect in polyadenylation would not affect their expression.
