  2. Trans-splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-splicing

    Trans-splicing is characterized by the joining of two separate exons transcribed RNAs. The signal for this splicing is the outron at the 5’ end of the mRNA, in the absence of a functional 5’ splice site upstream. When the 5’ outron in spliced, the 5’ splice site of the spliced leader RNA is branched to the outron and forms an ...

  3. RNA splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_splicing

    RNA splicing. RNA splicing is a process in molecular biology where a newly-made precursor messenger RNA (pre- mRNA) transcript is transformed into a mature messenger RNA (mRNA). It works by removing all the introns (non-coding regions of RNA) and splicing back together exons (coding regions). For nuclear-encoded genes, splicing occurs in the ...

  4. Circular RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_RNA

    Circular RNA. B.4) lariat-driven circularization (exon skipping). In molecular biology, circular RNA (or circRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA which, unlike linear RNA, forms a covalently closed continuous loop. In circular RNA, the 3' and 5' ends normally present in an RNA molecule have been joined together.

  5. Alternative splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_splicing

    Alternative splicing produces three protein isoforms. Protein A includes all of the exons, whereas Proteins B and C result from exon skipping. Alternative splicing, or alternative RNA splicing, or differential splicing, is an alternative splicing process during gene expression that allows a single gene to produce different splice variants.

  6. Epitranscriptome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitranscriptome

    Epitranscriptome. Within the field of molecular biology, the epitranscriptome includes all the biochemical modifications of the RNA (the transcriptome) within a cell. [1] In analogy to epigenetics that describes "functionally relevant changes to the genome that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence ", epitranscriptomics involves ...

  7. Translation (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(biology)

    Genetics. In biology, translation is the process in living cells in which proteins are produced using RNA molecules as templates. The generated protein is a sequence of amino acids. This sequence is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA. The nucleotides are considered three at a time.

  8. Protein splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_splicing

    Protein splicing is an intramolecular reaction of a particular protein in which an internal protein segment (called an intein) is removed from a precursor protein with a ligation of C-terminal and N-terminal external proteins (called exteins) on both sides. The splicing junction of the precursor protein is mainly a cysteine or a serine, which ...

  9. Post-translational modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-translational...

    In the vesicle, more parts are cut off, and it turns into mature insulin. In molecular biology, post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent process of changing proteins following protein biosynthesis. PTMs may involve enzymes or occur spontaneously. Proteins are created by ribosomes, which translate mRNA into polypeptide chains, which ...
