Overview of pre-mRNA processing
Primary transcript:
RNA capping: 7mG
3’end cleavage: 7mGpolyadenlyation signal
polyadenylation: 7mG An
RNA splicing: 7mG An
(RNA splicing may precede, occur at the same time as, or follow 3’ end formation)
Transport through a nuclear pore complex to the cytoplasm
Check by nonsense mediated decay pathway

Mutations that affect 3’ end formation
• Example: hyperprothrombinemia– Due to a G-to-A transition at position 20,210– Mutation causes an increase in the amount of
prothrombin– Associated with about a 3-fold increased risk of
myocardial infarction– Present in about 2% of the European population
but rare in non-caucasians
![Page 14: Start of Transcription](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56814374550346895daff2be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mutations that affect 3’ end formation
• Example: hyperprothrombinemia– 20210 is the last nucleotide before the polyA tail
– Due to increased 3’ end formation, cells with the 20210A allele produce more prothrombin mRNA than those with the 20210G allele
– The 20210A mRNA has a longer half-life than 20210G mRNA.

Mutations that affect 3’ end formation
• Typically, if 3’end mutations have an effect, they reduce the amount of mRNA that is made.
– Example: beta-plus thalassemia

Exon 1 AGGU Exon 2A AGG
Consensus sequences
A typical intron is 100 - 50,000 nucleotides long, starts with GU and ends with A(C,U)17-37AG.
This adenosine is 17-37 nucleotides from splice site.
A typical exon is 100 - 300 nucleotides long, starts with G and ends with AG.

Translation stops here.
No exon 11, so polyadenylation occurs at the end of exon 12.
![Page 24: Start of Transcription](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56814374550346895daff2be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12
If exon 11 is not removed by splicing, poly- adenylation occurs here, and exon 12 is lost.
If splicing removes exon 11, its poly- adenylation site is removed. Polyadenylation occurs at the end of exon 12.
Translation stops here.
