New cards

what are the 3 parts of mRNA processing

  • g-cap

  • a tail

  • removal of introns

2
New cards

characteristics of 5’ G-capping

adds stability to mRNA

facilitates binding/recognition by ribosome

3
New cards

what is the g-cap added by

guanylyl transferase, after about 20/30 nts are made

4
New cards

characteristics of polyadenylation (a tail)

  • adds stability

  • facilitates ribo binding

AAUAAA
