  "summary": "In eukaryotes, mRNA turnover occurs mainly through the 5'- 3' mRNA decay pathway and involves deadenylation, decapping, and exonucleolytic mRNA body digestion. While the conserved protein Pat1 has initially been described as an activator of decapping for some deadenylated mRNAs, the role of deadenylation-dependent decapping has recently been questioned. Hence, Pat1 has alternatively been…",
