English

Etymology

From re- +‎ adenylation.

Noun

readenylation (uncountable)

1. A second or subsequent adenylation, especially one following deadenylation.
   • 1995, Pia Glas-Greenwalt, Fibrinolysis in Disease:

     The processes of deadenylation and readenylation of the t-PA mRNA are controlled by nucleotide sequences found in the 3'untranslated region (UTR).

   • 2015 September 24, “Global Analysis of CPEBs Reveals Sequential and Non-Redundant Functions in Mitotic Cell Cycle”, in PLOS ONE‎^[1], →DOI:

     It did not change during the cell cycle, indicating that these changes were dependent on the presence of CPE, and poly(A) tails were generally long, maintaining the long poly(A) tails acquired co-transcriptionally, and therefore indicating that CPEs are required for deadenylation of the mature transcript as well as for later readenylation at specific cell cycle phases.
