Transcript
Processed Pseudogenes
•
Processed pseudogenes come from mRNA that
has been reverse-transcribed and then randomly
inserted into the genome. Processed
pseudogenes lack introns because the mRNA
was spliced. They also often have poly A tails
and they lack promoters and other control
regions.
– Good example: the ribosomal proteins. There are
79 proteins encoded by 95 functional genes (a few
duplications), but also 2090 processed
pseudogenes,
– Sometimes processed pseudogenes insert into a
location that is transcribed. Leads to a new fusion
protein or a intronless gene. These are
sometimes called retrogenes or “expressed
processed pseudogenes”. A whole group of them
is expressed exclusively in the testes, with introncontaining homologues expressed in other
tissues.
– RNA genes are especially prone to becoming
processed pseudogenes, because they often have
internal promoters for pol3. That is, the
retrotranscribed sequence contains its own
promoter and doesn’t need to insert near another
promoter. Alu sequences are an example of this:
They are modified versions of the signal
recognition 7SL RNA .
