Interacts with both the 3'-end poly(A) tail and the 5'-end cap arrangement during degradation, the interaction with the cap structure needing an efficient degradation of poly(A) tails. Involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, a critical process of selective degradation of mRNAs that contain premature stop codons.

PMID: 9736620 by Koerner C.G., et al. The deadenylating nuclease (DAN) is involved in poly(A) tail removal during the meiotic maturation of Xenopus oocytes.
PMID: 10640832 by Buiting K., et al. The human gene for the poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) maps to 16p13 and has a truncated copy in the Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome region on 15q11-->q13.
