Resumen
La formación adecuada de los terminales 3' del ARN mensajero (ARNm) requiere secuencias específicas aguas abajo. Estas secuencias son cruciales para la escisión endonucleolítica, asegurando la producción de ARNm maduro en los eucariotas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- Procesamiento de ARN Procesamiento de ARN
- Expresión génica de la expresión génica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La formación del extremo 3' del ARN mensajero eucariótico (ARNm) implica la escisión endonucleolítica de un ARN precursor.
- La transcripción a menudo procede más allá de la secuencia madura de ARNm 3', lo que requiere un procesamiento posterior.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar los requisitos de secuencia para la formación del extremo 3' del ARNm maduro.
- Para determinar el papel de las secuencias inmediatamente aguas abajo del sitio de poliadenilación.
Principales métodos:
- Construcción y análisis de mutantes de deleción en la unidad transcripcional del adenovirus E2A.
- Transfección de mutantes en células humanas 293 para analizar el procesamiento del ARNm.
Principales resultados:
- 35 nucleótidos aguas abajo del sitio de adición de poli (A) fueron suficientes para la formación madura de ARNm E2.
- Reducir las secuencias aguas abajo a 20 nucleótidos abolió la producción funcional de ARNm E2A.
- El defecto observado se atribuyó a una escisión inadecuada de la transcripción primaria.
Conclusiones:
- Las secuencias aguas abajo del sitio de adición de poli (A) son esenciales para la formación adecuada del extremo 3' del ARNm.
- Aunque no forman parte del ARNm maduro, estas secuencias distales son críticas para el proceso de escisión.

Pre-mRNA Processing: Modification of pre-mRNA Ends
15.8K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a cap to the 5' end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5' phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached (7-methyl guanosine). This 5' cap helps...

Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...

RNA Splicing
60.8K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay
11.9K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...

Leaky Scanning
5.7K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
7.3K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...
