  2. Messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA

    RNA polymerase transcribes a DNA strand to form mRNA. The brief existence of an mRNA molecule begins with transcription, and ultimately ends in degradation. During its life, an mRNA molecule may also be processed, edited, and transported prior to translation.

  3. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(biology)

    In virology, the term transcription is used when referring to mRNA synthesis from a viral RNA molecule. The genome of many RNA viruses [ a ] is composed of negative-sense RNA which acts as a template for positive sense viral messenger RNA - a necessary step in the synthesis of viral proteins needed for viral replication .

  4. Mature messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mature_messenger_RNA

    Mature messenger RNA, often abbreviated as mature mRNA is a eukaryotic RNA transcript that has been spliced and processed and is ready for translation in the course of protein synthesis. Unlike the eukaryotic RNA immediately after transcription known as precursor messenger RNA , [ 1 ] mature mRNA consists exclusively of exons and has all ...

  5. Primary transcript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_transcript

    Pre-mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template in the cell nucleus by transcription. Pre-mRNA comprises the bulk of heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Once pre-mRNA has been completely processed, it is termed "mature messenger RNA", or simply "messenger RNA". The term hnRNA is often used as a synonym for pre-mRNA, although, in the strict sense ...

  6. RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA

    In eukaryotic cells, once precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) has been transcribed from DNA, it is processed to mature mRNA. This removes its introns—non-coding sections of the pre-mRNA. The mRNA is then exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is bound to ribosomes and translated into its corresponding protein form with the help of tRNA ...

  7. Post-transcriptional modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transcriptional...

    The pre-mRNA processing at the 3' end of the RNA molecule involves cleavage of its 3' end and then the addition of about 250 adenine residues to form a poly(A) tail.The cleavage and adenylation reactions occur primarily if a polyadenylation signal sequence (5'- AAUAAA-3') is located near the 3' end of the pre-mRNA molecule, which is followed by another sequence, which is usually (5'-CA-3') and ...
