Which of the Following is a Feature of Oncoprotein MRNA

Question

Which of the following is a feature of oncoprotein mRNA?
A)The AMD extends the mRNA lifetime of the proto-oncogene.
B)It contains a 3' translated region (3'UTR)rich in A and U elements.
C)It is highly stable.
D)Its decay pathway is through AU-rich mediated decay (AMD).

Accepted Answer

Oncoprotein mRNA is highly unstable and subject to rapid turnover. Its decay pathway is through AU-rich mediated decay (AMD), which results in rapid degradation of the mRNA.
