Intron Splicing: Conserved Sequences
exons - coding sequences introns - noncoding sequences
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) recognize consensus splice junction sequence of GU/AG.
snRNPs are complexes of protein and small nuclear RNA (snRNA). Several snRNPs comprise a spliceosome.
Spliceosome directs the removal of introns and joining of exons.

One end of conserved sequence attaches to conserved adenine in the intron.
The “lariat” is released and adjacent exons are joined.
Spliceosome interacts with CTD and attaches to pre-mRNA.
snRNAs in spliceosomes direct alignment of the splice sites.

These self-splicing introns are an example of RNA that can catalyze a reaction.
RNA molecules can act somewhat like enzymes (ribozymes).
In the protozoan Tetrahymena, the primary transcript of an rRNA can excise a 413-nucleotide intron from itself.

What are the similarities? What are the differences?

“The linear sequence of nucleotides in a gene determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a protein.”
Mutant alleles of trpA gene differed in the position of the mutation at the DNA level, which corresponded to position of amino acid substitution in the gene product.

Anticodon of a tRNA molecule recognizes and pairs with an mRNA codon.
tRNA contains modified bases: pseudouridine, methylguanosine, dimethylguanosine, methylinosine, dihydrouridine.

Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Attaches Amino Acid to tRNA
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzes the formation of “charged” tRNA.
There is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase for each amino acid.
The carboxyl end of an amino acid is attached to the 3’ end of the tRNA.

Wobble Position
Some tRNA molecules can recognize and pair with more than one specific codon.
Base-pairing between the 3’ base of a codon and 5’ base of an anticodon is not always exact.
