In order for the prolactin single peptide to enter the ER lumen and be cleaved by signal peptidase‚ the prolactin nascent chain must be 130 codons. The mRNA at size 130 codons in length is seen to have cleavage in the presence of microsomes. The shorter sized mRNA’s in the presence of microsomes‚ are the non cleaved residue peptides in which the signal peptidase is unable to cleave the signal sequence amino acid. B. Band B is the cleavage of the signal sequence by the signal peptidase. The cleavage

DNA TRANSCRIPTION OVERVIEW Changes DNA to mRNA Happens in nucleus mRNA is an RNA copy of the DNA for the protein The mRNA will carry the message to the ribosomes to be translated into a protein STEPS OF TRANSCRIPTION IN PROKARYOTES In order for transcription to take place the strand must be unzipped but only the area where the gene is on the chromosome RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for reading and unzipping the strand Two strands on DNA- one is read and one is not Sense

SARS-The Commonly Uncommon Cold Acute respiratory illnesses are among the most common infectious diseases known to humans as they account for nearly half of all diseases that plague our species. Of these respiratory illnesses‚ viruses are the cause in 50-75% of reported cases. The Corona Virus known as SARS or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome is one of the most recently highly publicized respiratory illness that has drawn a surge of research since the first reported cases of the virus in Southern

Biochemistry Centre‚ ¨ ¨ University of Heidelberg‚ Im Neuenheimer Feld 365‚ 69120 Heidelberg‚ Germany Iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 post-transcriptionally control mammalian iron homeostasis by binding to iron-responsive elements (IREs)‚ conserved RNA stem-loop structures located in the 5 - or 3 -untranslated regions of genes involved in iron metabolism (e.g. FTH1‚ FTL‚ and TFRC). To identify novel IRE-containing mRNAs‚ we integrated biochemical‚ biocomputational‚ and microarray-based experimental

corresponding RNA bases‚ Transcription is located in the Nucleus‚ and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA‚ and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus‚ mRNA is also made through Transcription‚ It also takes information that doesn’t directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins‚ DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases‚ Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine‚ Guanine. Transcription also unwinds the strand of DNA and the RNA comes in

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 the rules

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

Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl are two biologists who prove that DNA replication was semiconservative. At the time‚ many strong evidences from experiments using bacterial viruses had already convinced most scientists that DNA was the molecule of heredity; however they knew little about the DNA replication process. After the dimensionally accurate model building by Watson and Crick‚ it was clear that the process of replication and information distribution have to use the DNA from parent cell
