assembly of proteins by ribosomes‚ is an essential part of the biosynthetic pathway‚ along with generation of messenger RNA (mRNA)‚ aminoacylation of transfer RNA (tRNA)‚ co-translational transport‚ and post-translational modification. Protein biosynthesis is strictly regulated at multiple steps‚ and error-checking mechanisms are in place. The cistron DNA is transcribed into a variety of RNA intermediates. The last version is used as a template in synthesis of a polypeptide chain. Protein will often

However‚ DNA is too large a molecule to pass through the nucleus wall into the cytoplasm where the protein is made. This means that the DNA has to be copied and transported through into the cytoplasm. This is done by messenger RNA. Once the DNA has unzipped messenger RNA (mRNA) from the cytoplasm comes into the nucleus and attaches itself to the DNA. Whilst doing this it makes sure that the organic bases match up: adenine to uracil and guanine to cytosine. This is in accordance to

sequence until it gets to a termination signal (stop codon) and then it jumps off because it has the whole recipe copied. The polymerase uses complimentary base pairing to attach RNA nucleotides to the second strand with the exception that it attaches Uracil in place of Thymine. The row of “guitars” represent the transfer RNA (tRNA) which transfers a specific active amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. Each tan ball in the diagram represents

Splicing is a process that involves the removal of introns from messenger RNA. As a result of the removal of the sections‚ the exons are then connected together to create one long uninterrupted strand of mRNA. The process of splicing is important since it produces an uninterrupted mRNA strand that is then transported out of the cell. Alternative splicing is a process cells use to produce different types of messenger RNA. These types of mRNA produce different variations of a protein. Serine-arginine-rich

genetic information to produce proteins. Transription generates 3 kinds of RNA. Transfer RNA(tRNA) carries amino acid during protein synthesis‚ ribosomal RNA molecules come together to form ribosomes while mRNA bears the message for protein synthesis. In bacteria‚ mRNA often carries coding information of more than 1 gene therefore it is said to be polycistronic (DIAGRAM). MRNA is synthesized under the direction of DNA by RNA polymerase. This polymerase in its core enzyme form has 5 subunits. A 6th

Transcription is the first step of protein synthesis it uses a sequence of DNA nucleotides to produce a sequence of RNA nucleotide. b. RNA polymerase bonds to RNA nucleotides together‚ attaches to the promoter site at the start of the gene. 4. 5. a. -Messenger RNA contains information to synthesize proteins. -Transfer RNA is used to transfer amino acids during the next step. -Ribosomal RNA makes up part of a ribosome. b.
