  2. Messenger RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA

    Moreover, the template for mRNA is the complementary strand of tRNA, which is identical in sequence to the anticodon sequence that the DNA binds to. The short-lived, unprocessed or partially processed product is termed precursor mRNA, or pre-mRNA; once completely processed, it is termed mature mRNA. [citation needed]

  3. Transfer RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_RNA

    A tRNA is commonly named by its intended amino acid (e.g. tRNA-Asn), by its anticodon sequence (e.g. tRNA(GUU)), or by both (e.g. tRNA-Asn(GUU) or tRNA Asn GUU). [19] These two features describe the main function of the tRNA, but do not actually cover the whole diversity of tRNA variation; as a result, numerical suffixes are added to differentiate.

  4. RNA - Wikipedia

    A diagram of how mRNA is used to create polypeptide chains. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the catalytic component of the ribosomes. The rRNA is the component of the ribosome that hosts translation. Eukaryotic ribosomes contain four different rRNA molecules: 18S, 5.8S, 28S and 5S rRNA.

  5. Ribosomal RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_RNA

    Ribosomal RNA is transcribed from ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and then bound to ribosomal proteins to form small and large ribosome subunits. rRNA is the physical and mechanical factor of the ribosome that forces transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) to process and translate the latter into proteins. [1]

  6. Primary transcript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_transcript

    Pre-mRNA is synthesized from a DNA template in the cell nucleus by transcription. Pre-mRNA comprises the bulk of heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). Once pre-mRNA has been completely processed, it is termed "mature messenger RNA", or simply "messenger RNA". The term hnRNA is often used as a synonym for pre-mRNA, although, in the strict sense ...

  7. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript. In virology , the term transcription is used when referring to mRNA synthesis from a viral RNA molecule.

  8. RNA-based evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA-based_evolution

    RNA served as a blueprint for genetic material and was the catalyst to multiply said blueprint. Currently RNA acts by forming proteins. protein enzymes carry out catalytic reactions. RNAs are critical in gene expression and that gene expression depends on mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA. [15] There is a relationship between protein and RNAs.

  9. Transcriptional regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptional_regulation

    An active enhancer regulatory sequence of DNA is enabled to interact with the promoter DNA regulatory sequence of its target gene by formation of a chromosome loop. This can initiate messenger RNA (mRNA) synthesis by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) bound to the promoter at the transcription start site of the gene. The loop is stabilized by one ...
