Translation
A three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid?
What is a codon?
Three main features of a transcription unit.
What is the promoter, RNA encoding region, and the terminator?
The modified nucleotide add to the 5' end of pre-mRNA.
What is the 5' cap?
In prokaryotes, transcription and translation occur in the same location.
What is the cytoplasm?
Transciption occurs in this organelle.
What is the nucleus?
The start codon?
What is AUG?
The enzyme that synthesizes RNA.
What is RNA polymerase
The stretch of adenine added to the 3' end.
What is the poly (A) tail?
The site that positions the start codon.
What is the Shine-Dalgarno sequence?
The promoter element recognized by TBP.
The ribosomal site where newly charged tRNAs enter?
RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA in this direction
What is 5' ----> 3'?
The complex that removes the intron and keeps the exons.
What is the spilcesome?
The consensus promoter regions in bacteria are located at these positions.
What are the -10 and -35 regions?
The RNA polymerase responsible for transcribing pre-mRNA
What is RNA polymerase II?
The bond formed between amino acids during elongation.
What is a peptide bond?
The protein subunit required for initiation?
What is the sigma factor?
Sequences that are removed during splicing.
What are the introns?
Prokaryotic RNA does not undergo this process before translation.
What is RNA processing (splicing and capping)?
During the initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds here and scans for AUG.
What is the 5' UTR?
The direction proteins are synthesized from this end to this end.
What is the N-terminus to C-terminus?
This DNA strands has the same sequence as the RNA transcript except T becomes U.
What is the non-template strand?
Yields different mature mRNA's that encode different proteins and expands coding capacity.
Recognizes the promoter similar to Eukaryotes.
Additional transcriptional activators influence levels of transcription.
Regulatory promoter
