  2. RNA processing How do RNA processing events expand the vocabulary of mRNA? What steps are involved in changing the linear sequence of RNA between transcription and its ultimate use in translation or for other purposes? 3) What is the selective/evolutionary advantage to expanding the RNA vocabulary? 4) Why are RNAs modified so extensively?

  3. 3 general types of RNA processing The biologically active forms of most RNAs are post-transcriptionally modified, especially in eukaryotes. 1) Remove nucleotides (splicing, site-specific endonucleases, deletional editing) 2) Addition of nucleotides (5' capping, 3' terminal transferases, insertional editing) 3) Covalent modification of bases or sugars (methyl caps, ADAR, tRNA/rRNA)

  4. Processing of eukaryotic mRNAs Triose phosphate isomerase gene Site of cleavage and polyadenylation INTRONS stay IN the nucleus 5’ 3’ Exon 1 Exon 2 Exon 3 Exon 4 Exon 5 Exon 6 Exon 7 Exon 8 Exon 9 Transcription/capping Splicing/polyadenylation mRNA 5’ m7GTP AAAA … AAA-3’ Mature, spliced mRNA Export to cytoplasm Capping Polyadenylation Splicing = intron removal/exon ligation co-transcriptional: post-transcriptional:

  5. The 5’-cap structure 7mG Cap of Euk. mRNAs • Can protect RNA from degradation • Identifies RNA as mRNA • Recognized by protein synthesis machinery • 2,2,7-trimethyl G cap is NOT used • by mRNA; it identifies snRNAs • (used in splicing), localizes them • to nucleus • tRNAs/rRNAs not capped Where have we seen 5’, 5’ linkages before?

  6. Polyadenylation of pre-mRNA

  7. Poly (A) tails • 100 - 250 Adenosines added to 3’ end of mRNA • Polyadenylation increases efficiency of translation, but is • not required for translation in vitro • Poly-A tail bound by “poly-A-binding protein” • PAB-II in nucleus, PAB-I in cytoplasm • protects message from exonucleases • • Tail length and stability is highly regulated---governs mRNA turnover

  8. Formation of the spliceosome • The spliceosome is a large RNA-protein complex which catalyzes splicing reactions • It contains 45 proteins and 5 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) molecules (“snurps”) • Assembles at the appropriate 5’ splice site • “GU-AG” rule Exon Intron Exon 5’ … A G G U A/G A G U … … … N Y U R A Y … … Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N C A G G … 3’ 50 to >1000 nucleotides 10 to 40 nucleotides 5’ splice site consensus sequence Branch site consensus sequence Polypyrimidine tract 3’ splice site consensus sequence
