After Transcription
• In prokaryotes, the RNA copy of a gene is messenger
RNA, ready to be translated into protein. In fact,
translation starts even before transcription is finished.
• In eukaryotes, the primary RNA transcript of a gene
needs further processing before it can be translated.
This step is called “RNA processing”. Also, it needs to be
transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
• Steps in RNA processing:
– 1. Add a cap to the 5’ end
– 2. Add a poly-A tail to the 3’ end
– 3. splice out introns.
Capping
• RNA is inherently unstable,
especially at the ends. The
ends are modified to protect it.
• At the 5’ end, a slightly
modified guanine (7-methyl G)
is attached “backwards”, by a
5’ to 5’ linkage, to the
triphosphates of the first
transcribed base.
• At the 3’ end, the primary
transcript RNA is cut at a
specific site and 100-200
adenine nucleotides are
attached: the poly-A tail. Note
that these A’s are not coded in
the DNA of the gene.

Introns
• Introns are regions within a gene that don’t code for protein and
don’t appear in the final mRNA molecule. Protein-coding sections of
a gene (called exons) are interrupted by introns.
• The function of introns remains unclear. They may help is RNA
transport or in control of gene expression in some cases, and they
may make it easier for sections of genes to be shuffled in evolution.
But , no generally accepted reason for the existence of introns
exists.
• There are a few prokaryotic examples, but most introns are found in
eukaryotes.
• Some genes have many long introns: the dystrophin gene (mutants
cause muscular dystrophy) has more than 70 introns that make up
more than 99% of the gene’s sequence. However, not all eukaryotic
genes have introns: histone genes, for example, lack introns.
Intron Splicing
• Introns are removed from
the primary RNA
transcript while it is still in
the nucleus.
• Introns are “spliced out”
by RNA/protein hybrids
called “spliceosomes”.
The intron sequences are
removed, and the
remaining ends are reattached so the final RNA
consists of exons only.

Summary of RNA processing
•
•
•
•
•
In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase produces a “primary transcript”, an exact RNA copy of the gene.
A cap is put on the 5’ end.
The RNA is terminated and poly-A is added to the 3’ end.
All introns are spliced out.
At this point, the RNA can be called messenger RNA. It is then transported out of the nucleus into
the cytoplasm, where it is translated.

STOP codons
• The initiation process
involves first joining the
mRNA, the initiator
methionine-tRNA, and the
small ribosomal subunit.
Several “initiation
factors”--additional
proteins--are also
involved. The large
ribosomal subunit then
joins the complex.

Post-Translational Modification?
• New polypeptides usually fold themselves
spontaneously into their active conformation.
However, some proteins are helped and guided
in the folding process by chaperone proteins
• Many proteins have sugars, phosphate groups,
fatty acids, and other molecules covalently
attached to certain amino acids. Most of this is
done in the endoplasmic reticulum.
Mature protein is ready to be purified
