steps in rna processing
|
5' g cap added, poly a tail added,
introns removed |
|
|
process of adding 5' g cap
|
a modified g nucleotide is andded to the 5' end of the premRNA
|
|
|
purpose of adding 5' g cap
|
helps mRNA bind to the ribosome, prevents RNA from being broken down by enzymes
|
|
|
when rna processing occurs
|
after transcription, before translation
|
|
|
purpose of rna processing
|
to protect mRNA as it leaves the nucleus, to stabilize mRNA and inhibit its degradation
|
|
|
process of adding poly a tail
|
a string of 100-300 a's are added to the 3' end of the premRNA, not same as termination sequence!!
|
|
|
purpose of adding poly a tail
|
helps direct mRNA out of nucleus, makes mRNA more stable
|
|
|
3 components of a virus
|
nucleic acid, capsid, sometimes a viral envelope
|
|
|
bacteriophage
|
virus that infect bacteria, inject their dna into host cells (phages)
|
|
|
how to know its a virulent phage
|
there are instant symptoms (immediate hostile takeover of host cell/phage)
|
|
|
main characteristics of human viruses
|
have viral envelope, there are glycoproteins attached to the viral envelope that help the virus bind the the host
|
|
|
how viroids operate
|
made of circular rna molecules, they don't code for proteins instead they disrupt regulatory system in plants and cause growth problems
|
|
|
are viruses alive?
|
no, they aren't considering living because they don't have cellular structure and they need a host to replicate
|
|
|
advantages of having an (optional) viral envelope
|
it helps virus bind to the host cell, can help protect/camouflage it from the immune system
|
|
|
aebar-- awesome elephants ban agressive rambling
|
attachment, entry, biosynthesis, assembly, release
|
|
|
retroviruses
|
viruses with rna as their nucleic acid, have reverse transcriptase inculed in virus (use rna to make dna)
|
