RNA Processing

Introduction

• Before becoming functional, the freshly created RNA, often referred to as the main transcript, undergoes additional processing.
• All prokaryotes and eukaryotes transmit and process their ribosomal RNAs.
• However, messenger RNA processing is where prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ most from one another in terms of RNA processing.
• As soon as the mRNA leaves the DNA template, it is immediately translated in bacterial cells.
• The machinery for protein synthesis in eukary…
