What is the sequence of prokaryotic protein expression?

Promoter recognition → transcription → translation → polypeptide formation → protein folding or processing.

2
New cards

What is the sequence of eukaryotic protein expression?

Transcription initiation → pre-mRNA production → RNA processing → export → translation → protein folding or modification.

3
New cards

Which cells normally perform extensive pre-mRNA processing?

Eukaryotic cells.

4
New cards

Why can bacterial protein production begin quickly?

Transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.

5
New cards

Are newly translated polypeptides always immediately functional?

No. Folding, assembly, or additional modifications may be required.
