f
messenger rna
rna molecules copied from genes that specify amino acid sequences of proteins(code for proteins)
ribosomal rna
is in ribosomes, participate in protein synthesis
transfer rna
forms adaptors that select amino acids, hold them in place on ribosome
small rnas
used in pre-mRNA splicing, transport proteins to ER
promoter
sequence of nucleotides indicative of start of protein synthesis
rna processing steps
rna capping
polyadentylaton
rna capping
modiying 5' end mrna transcript, end synthesized first during treanscription. capped by a weird nucleotide like guanine with methyl group.
polyadenylation
provides new mrnas with a special structure at 3', repeated adenine nucleotides
introns
intervening sequence,code that interrupts genetic code, prevents initial transcribed rna in eucaryotic cells from going straight to being mrna
exons
shorter than introns, expressed sequences
how are introns removed?
rna splicing
rna splicing
introns removed, exons stitched together by rna polymerase and small rnas
small nuclear rnas
bind with small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles to form spliceosome, large assembly of rna and protein that does rna splicing
spliceosome
small rna + small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles, assembly of RNA that does RNA splicing
what kind of RNAs are selectively exported from nucleus?
mature eucaryotic
what degrades a mRNA molecules?
cells
earliest cells had what in genes?
introns
translation
changing of rna into protein
codon
group of three successive nucleotides
what matches amino acids to codons in mRNA
tRNA
anticodon
three consecutive nucleotides that pairs with commplementary codon in mRNA molecule.
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases
covalently couple each amino acid to appropriate tRNA molecule
ribosome
complex made of rRNA
peptide bond
peptide
ribozynme
ribosomes that can be catalysts
