mirna
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In what shape is mRNA exported? | hairpin |
| What happens when it is exported from the nucleus | It loses the polyA tail and 5' head |
| What does the cropped miRNA interact with? | RISC |
| When there is not an exensive match, what happens? | It binds with other mRNA and its translation reduced to eventual degradation |
| When there is an extensive match, what happens? | RISC and miRNA bind to mRNA, it is sliced at a certain site, and then RISC releases with miRNA. Now the mRNA has a cut site |
| What protein associates with miRNA and mRNA? | Argonaute |
| What are siRNAS? | Shirt interfering RNAs that are cut segments of DS RNA |
| When the siRNAS interact with RITS, what happens? | It goes back to the nucleus, is tagged to the end of the RNA being processed in the RNA polymerase |
| When the siRNAs interact with RISC, what happens? | Follows pathway when cut site is created and mRNA is degraded |
