Poly-A tails on non-nuclear mRNAs

[Keith Robison]

This question has come up twice in the past week:


	Is mRNA polyadenylation absolutely restricted to genes expressed
in the eukaryotic nucleus (including viral genes)?  Does anyone know of
examples of polyadenylated mRNAs in bacteria, archaea, or organelles?
