In eukaryotic cells, DNA to mRNA transcription occurs within the nucleus, producing pre-mRNA. This pre-mRNA undergoes processing, including the addition of a 5' cap, a poly-A tail, and …

In eukaryotes, mRNA transcripts must be processed (modified) before they can be used to synthesize proteins at the ribosomes. This processing has two main components: protection …

Key points: When an RNA transcript is first made in a eukaryotic cell, it is considered a pre-mRNA and must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). A 5' cap is added to the beginning of …

In the following articles, we'll take a more in-depth look at RNA polymerase, the stages of transcription, and the process of RNA modification in eukaryotes. We'll also consider some …

mRNA processing Once RNA polymerase is done, the mRNA transcript has to be processed before it can make its journey out of the nucleus and to the ribosome. Processing has two …

Transcription and mRNA processing Learn Overview of transcription Transcription and mRNA processing Post-transcriptional regulation Eukaryotic pre-mRNA processing

One key step for regulation is translation initiation. In order for translation to begin, the ribosome, an RNA-and-protein complex that houses translation, must assemble on the mRNA. This …

Translation involves “decoding” a messenger RNA (mRNA) and using its information to build a polypeptide, or chain of amino acids. For most purposes, a polypeptide is basically just a …

An RNA transcript that is ready to be used in translation is called a messenger RNA (mRNA). In bacteria, RNA transcripts are ready to be translated right after transcription.
