This cleavage results in two fragments: a 5' fragment, which remains intact due to the protective 5' cap structure of the mRNA, and a 3' fragment that is ligated to a 5' adaptor by RNAse, allowing it to be sequenced. ...
Its accuracy and efficiency are crucial to maintaining correct genetic coding. Capping Enzymes: The Protectors Once the mRNA strand is synthesized, capping enzymes add a protective cap at the 5' end. This cap is crucial for mRNA stability, preventing degradation and aiding in translation efficiency. Think of ...
These modifications, which include splicing, 3' end polyadenylation, and 5' cap addition, are essential for mRNA stability and efficient translation within host cells. ...
