Comments	"...a small cis-acting element consisting of two Rap1p-binding sites is required and sufficient to destabilize the transcript. Rap1p is a well-known transcription activator of highly transcribed genes (~5% of the yeast genes). [Researchers] found that depletion of Rap1p leads to the stabilization of mRNAs whose synthesis is activated by this protein. Thus, Rap1p plays a dual role in maintaining the level of specific mRNAs."
