Key points: summarized from chapter 14
RNA processing
Outline: we will focus on mRNA processing
Overview of the Central Dogma
Introns versus exons
What is a codon
Steps of pre-mRNA processing Eukaryotes versus prokaryotes
3 steps of mRNA processing occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes
5’ CAP
Poly-A tail
Splicing
The 5’Cap
The Poly-A Tail
Cleavage by endonuclease
Basic steps of poly-Adenylation
Splicing
Spliceosome
Self splicing
Requires RNA + proteins
Only RNA!
Function as enzymes
Function as enzymes!
Spliceosome Meet the spliceosome
5’ phosphodiester of G
lariat
2’ OH of A
Splicesome: 3 components are required
Note some important aspects of the 5’ and 3’ ends
Where does splicing occurs?
Self-Splicing mRNA’s
Common characteristic of self-splicing mRNA’s
Comments on Alternative processing methods
First: What are the methods of mRNA processing discussed so far?
