Questions and Answers

Explain the role of snoRNAs in post-transcriptional control of gene expression.

SnoRNAs play a role in modifying and processing rRNA, which is essential for ribosome function and protein synthesis.

What are the general processes involved in mRNA processing?

The general processes involved in mRNA processing include 5'end capping, intron splicing, 3'end cleavage and polyadenylation, as well as mRNA specific events such as RNA editing and alternative splicing.

What is the function of the mRNA cap structure and how is it recognized in the nucleus?

The mRNA cap structure is essential for stability, connection to the export apparatus, and connection to splicing. It is recognized by CBP20/CBP80 in the nucleus.
