  2. Ribosomal RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_RNA

    Bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA, 23S ribosomal RNA, and 5S rRNA genes are typically organized as a co-transcribed operon. As shown by the image in this section, there is an internal transcribed spacer between 16S and 23S rRNA genes. [28] There may be one or more copies of the operon dispersed in the genome (for example, Escherichia coli has seven ...

  3. RNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase

    The β subunit contains the rest of the active center responsible for RNA synthesis and contains the rest of the determinants for non-sequence-specific interactions with DNA and nascent RNA. α (α I and α II) Two copies of the α subunit, being the third-largest subunit, are present in a molecule of RNAP: α I and α II (one and two). Each α ...

  4. Ribosome biogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome_biogenesis

    Ribosomes are the macromolecular machines that are responsible for mRNA translation into proteins. The eukaryotic ribosome, also called the 80S ribosome, is made up of two subunits – the large 60S subunit (which contains the 25S [in plants] or 28S [in mammals], 5.8S, and 5S rRNA and 46 ribosomal proteins) and a small 40S subunit (which contains the 18S rRNA and 33 ribosomal proteins). [6]

  5. Transcription preinitiation complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_pre...

    The template strand of the transcription bubble engages with the RNA polymerase II active site. RNA synthesis begins. After synthesis of ~10 nucleotides of RNA, and an obligatory phase of several abortive transcription cycles, RNA polymerase II escapes the promoter region to transcribe the remainder of the gene.

  6. Ribosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome

    Ribosomal RNA composition for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The ribosome is a complex cellular machine. It is largely made up of specialized RNA known as ribosomal RNA (rRNA) as well as dozens of distinct proteins (the exact number varies slightly between species). The ribosomal proteins and rRNAs are arranged into two distinct ribosomal pieces ...

  7. RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA

    Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA chain of about 80 nucleotides that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. It has sites for amino acid attachment and an anticodon region for codon recognition that binds to a specific sequence on the messenger RNA chain ...

  8. Nucleolus organizer region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleolus_organizer_region

    These regions code for 5.8S, 18S, and 28S ribosomal RNA. [1] The NORs are "sandwiched" between the repetitive, heterochromatic DNA sequences of the centromeres and telomeres. [1] The exact sequence of these regions is not included in the human reference genome as of 2016 [1] or the GRCh38.p10 released January 6, 2017. [2]

  9. Eukaryotic transcription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_transcription

    Without the need of a primer, RNA polymerase can initiate the synthesis of a new RNA chain using the template DNA strand to guide ribonucleotide selection and polymerization chemistry. [1] However, many of the initiated syntheses are aborted before the transcripts reach a significant length (~10 nucleotides).
