Processing of rRNA in E.coil and Mammals | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the processing of rRNA in prokaryotes (e.g. E. coli) and eukaryotes (e.g. mammals). In prokaryotes (e.g. E. coli) there are seven operons for rRNA. These are dispersed throughout the genome. Each operon consists of one copy of each of the 5S, 16S and 23S rRNA sequences. Coding sequences for tRNA molecules are present [...]

Processing of Pre-tRNA in E.coli and Yeast | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the processing of pre-tRNA in E.coli and yeast. In prokaryotes, there are many operons (e.g. 7 genes in E. coli) which are separated by spacer sequences. Mature tRNA molecules are generated by processing longer pre-tRNA transcripts. Through a specific step, RNases D, E, F and P generate these mature tRNA molecules by exo-and [...]

Processing of mRNA in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the processing of mRNA in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, there is a little or no processing of mRNA transcripts. Prokaryotic mRNA is degraded very rapidly from 5' end. Therefore, to rescue from degradation it is translated before being finally transcribed. Ribosomes assemble on unfinished mRNA and first cistron (protein coding region) can [...]
