Document Summary

What are the 5 steps of an addition of 5" cap: one of the three phosphate groups at the 5" of mrna is removed, a guanine nucleotide with its phosphate group is added. 3. methyl groups are added to the 7 position of the base of the terminal guanine nucleoside. 4. methyl groups are also added to the 2" position of the sugar on the second and third nucleotide. 5. the base on the initial nucleotide may also be methylated. Removed by a nuclear machinery that identifies a short consensus sequence at the exon-intron boundary in the pre-mrnas. A free guanosine nucleotide cofactor: gtp, gdp, or gmp. 1st transfer: the free 3" -oh of a free guanosine nucleotide cofactor attacks the 5" end of the intron. 2nd transfer: the free 3" -oh of exon 1 attacks the 5"p of exon 2; the linear intron is released and the exons are joined. Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins that contain small nuclear rnas.

An anticodon on a tRNA has the sequence 5'âGCAâ3'. What would be the effect on translation if the G in the anticodon were mutated to a U?

The anticodon could pair to the serine codon 5'âUCAâ3', and a cysteine would be incorporated at all points where a serine should have been incorporated.

The anticodon could pair to the threonine codon 5'âACUâ3', and a threonine would be incorporated at all points where a cysteine should have been incorporated.

The anticodon could pair to the serine codon 5'âAGUâ3', and a serine would be incorporated at all points where a cysteine should have been incorporated.

The anticodon could pair to the stop codon 5'âUGAâ3', and instead of stopping translation, a cysteine would be incorporated and translation could continue.
