Consequences of Cytosolic mRNA Decay. Widespread cytosolic mRNA decay causes RPBs to shuttle to the nucleus, where they reduce RNA PolII occupancy and transcription; cause hyper-adenylation of mRNAs (which contributes to nuclear retention); lead to read-through transcription and alternative splicing. All of this leads to an export block of mRNAs, so that mRNAs are trapped in the nucleus
