histone mRNA metabolism

Description

The chemical reactions and pathways involving an mRNA encoding a histone.

Comment

In higher Eukaryotes, histone mRNAs (stem-loop containing) are non-polyadenylated and thus have a different form of 3'-end regulation to other mRNAs. In lower Eukaryotes, the 3'-ends of histone mRNAs are polyadenylated.
