Cytoplasmic mRNAs are degraded by one of the three pathways. For most mRNAs, the deadenylation-dependent pathway is followed These dense regions of cytoplasm contain the decapping enzyme (DCP1/DCP2), activators of decapping (DHH, PAT1, LSM1-7), and the major 5′→3′ exoribonuclease XRN1, as well as densely associated mRNAs
