Mature mRNA means that the introns in the mRNA is cleaved, then the addition of the 5' cap and the poly-A tail has been done. From this mature mRNA, the sections that do not code for amino acids both the 5' cap and poly-A tail. The 5' cap and the poly-A tail only prevents the new mRNA from degradation in the cytoplasm.
