Explain the process of making heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) into
a fully functional mRNA in eukaryotes. Where does this process occur in
the cell?
Answers
1.capping at the 5'end: Addition of guanosine triposphate to the 5'end of hnRNA
2.taliling at the 3'end:Addition of 200-300 adenylate residues at the 3'end of hRNA
3.splicing:Removal of introns and joining the exon segment of the transcript
It takes place in the nucleus
I hope it is helpful for u
The precursor of mRNA transcribed by RNA polymerase-|| it is called heterogeneous nuclear RNA .It undergoes following processing to form nascent mRNA :-
1)Splicing:- In this process the non-coding introns are removed and coding sequences call exons are joined in a definite order .This is required because primary transcript contains both introns and exons .
2)Capping:- In this process an unusual nucleotide is added to the 5' end of hnRNA.
3)Tailing:- In this process 200 to 300 adenylated residues are added at the 3' endof hn RNA .
4)The fully process mRNA is released from the nucleus into the cytoplasm for translation .
