Document Summary
Transcription ii (pii) mrna creation from rna: 5" pre-mrna capping added to protects rna from exonucleases. Phosphatase removes a phosphate from 5" end: gmp is added by guano transferase, methyl group is added by methyl transferase to complete capping. Pre-mrna rna splicing: modification of rna after transcription to create mrna/prepare it for translation. Transcribed introns are removed (non-coding) and exons are joined together (coding: catalyzed by spliceosome, adenosine attacks 5" splicing site on exon, 5" of on exon reacts with 3" of other to release intron. Steps in ensuring correct translational unit pairing: trna synthetase (aminoacyl trna synthetase, makes sure correct trna has correct aa. Editing site cleaves off incorrect aa through hydrolytic editing: trna molecule, makes sure correct trna pairs with correct mrna codon. Located on cytosol (eukaryotic/prokaryotic: divided into, e-site: exit site, p-site: peptidyl site, elongation of aas, a-site: aminoacyl, where trna enters.
