RNA Polymerase Synthesizes RNA at the Transcription BubbleRNA polymerase is a complex enzyme with two grooves. The first groove holds a single strand ofDNA, and the second groove holds the growing RNA. RNA polymerase travels down the DNA, addingribonucleotides that complement each of the bases on the DNA template strand.

Splicing mechanism
Splicing is initiated by thenucleophilic attack of the 2'hydroxyl group of the branch siteadenosine on the phosphodiesterbond at the 5' splice site. Therebythe intron forms a lariat andreleases the 5' exon. Splicing iscompleted with a secondnucleophilic attack by the 3'-hydroxyl group of the 5' exon.

RNA splicing
Group I introns can self-splice (ribozymes);in mitochondria of yeast, rRNA genes of Tetrahymena, and plant organells
Group II introns and splicocomal introns share the same splicingmechanism;
in fungal mitochondria (self splicing), and in plant organells(not self splicing)

CTD consists of hepta repeatsthat are phosphosylated duringinitiation (serin 5). This isrequired for binding the cappingapparatus. During elongation,serin 5 is dephosphorylated andserin 2 is phosphorylated, this isrequired for binding the splicingand poly(A) machineries.Genetic analysis: Deletion ofCTD decreases mRNAprocessing.

Mechanismus of peptide synthesisThe N3 of A2486 abstracts a proton from theNH2 group as the latter attacks the carbonylcarbon of the peptidyl-tRNA. (B) A protonatedN3 stabilizes the tetrahedral carbonintermediate by hydrogen bonding to theoxyanion. (C) The proton is transferred fromthe N3 to the peptidyl tRNA 3' OH as the newlyformed peptide deacylates.

Translation in Prokaryotes(A) Initiation of translation begins with the
association of the small ribosomesubunit with the Shine-Dalgarnosequence (S-D sequence) on themRNA. Next, the initiator tRNA thatreads AUG is charged with fMet. Thecharged initiator tRNA associates withthe small ribosome subunit and findsthe start codon. Assembly is helped byinitiation factors (IF1, IF2, and IF3)—notshown.
(B) During elongation peptide bonds areformed between the amino acids at theA-site and the P-site. The movement ofthe ribosome along the mRNA andaddition of a new tRNA to the A-site arecontrolled by elongation factors (alsonot shown). The E-site binds exitingtRNA.
(C) Termination requires release factors.The various components dissociate.The completed protein folds into itsproper three-dimensional shape.

Translation in Eukaryotes(A) Assembly of the small subunit plus
initiator Met-tRNA involves the bindingof factors eIF3 and eIF2.
(B) The cap binding protein of eIF4attaches to the mRNA before it joinsthe small subunit.
(C) The mRNA binds to the small subunitvia cap binding protein and the 40Sinitiation complex is assembled.
(D) Assembly of the large subunitrequires factor eIF5. After assembly,eIF2 and eIF3 depart.

The genetic code for selenocysteine and pyrrolysine
selenocysteine insertion element (SECIS); pyrrolysine insertion element (PYLIS).
Codons that function usually as stop codons are used (in the context of aspecial structure of the mRNA) to encode these amino acids.

Redefining the stop codon in mammalianmessenger RNAs. Ribosomes move alongmRNA, deciphering the nucleotide sequenceand making a protein according to theencoded amino-acid sequence. Thenucleotide sequence UGA normally specifiesthat the ribosome should stop translation.But sometimes this stop codon can beredefined, so that the twenty-first aminoacid — selenocysteine — is incorporatedinstead. This model shows how this mightbe done. a, A 'stem loop' structure in thedownstream, untranslated part of the mRNAbinds to a protein called SBP2. SBP2 in turnbinds to the eEFsec protein, which itself hasrecruited the transfer RNA carryingselenocysteine. b, The selenocysteine-bound tRNA is then delivered to the waitingUGA, for incorporation into the growingamino-acid string that constitutes the newlycreated protein.

When stop means go. There are two ways in which the stop codon UAGcould be redefined to specify the 22nd amino acid, pyrrolysine. In the first(top), special signals in mRNAs tag a subset of stop codons that are to havetheir meaning redefined. In the second (bottom), a codon is redefinedregardless of the mRNA involved.
