| mRNA (guanine(N7))-methyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses s-adenosyl-l-methionine and g(5')pppr-RNA to yield s-adenosyl-l-homocysteine and m(7)g(5')pppr-RNA; mRNA containing an n(7)-methylguanine cap Registry number: EC 2.1.1.56 Synonym: mRNA (guanine-7-)methyltransferase, mRNA(guanine-7-)methyltransferase, RNA (guanine-7) methyltransferase, abd1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| mRNA guanylyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses transfer of GMP residue from GTP to 5' end of RNA to form cap structure identified as g(5')pppn; can also modify synthetic poly(a) and poly(g) to form m7g(5')pppan and m7g(5')pppgn; see also capping enzyme, vaccinia virus Registry number: EC 2.7.7.50 Synonym: RNA guanylyltransferase, m-RNA guanylyltransferase, GTP mRNA guanylyltransferase, mRNA capping enzyme, mRNA 5'-guanylyltransferase, cgt1 gene product, ceg1 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| mRNA maturase | <enzyme> Also potent endonuclease involved in recombination Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: RNA, mitochondrial maturase, RNA maturase (26 Jun 1999) |
| mRNA (nucleoside-O(2'))-methyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the reaction of s-adenosyl-l-methionine and m(7)g(5')pppr-RNA to yield s-adenosyl-l-homocysteine and m(7)g(5')ppprm-RNA; mRNA containing an o(2')-methylpurine cap Registry number: EC 2.1.1.57 (26 Jun 1999) |
| polycistronic mRNA | <molecular biology> A single mRNA molecule that is the product of the transcription of several tandemly arranged genes, typically the mRNA transcribed from an operon. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 6-methyladenine mRNA methyltransferase | <enzyme> Forms internal n6-methyladenine residues Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: m6a mRNA methyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acceptor splicing site | Boundary between the right end of an intron and the left end of the adjacent exon. Synonym: acceptor splicing site. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gene splicing | A procedure by which one DNA molecule or fragment can be attached to another. (14 Nov 1997) |
| right splicing junction | Boundary between the right end of an intron and the left end of the adjacent exon. Synonym: acceptor splicing site. (05 Mar 2000) |
| RNA splicing | <molecular biology> The removal of introns from primary RNA transcripts. (23 Aug 1998) |
| RNA splicing pattern | <molecular biology> The combination of DNA sequences copied from a gene by messenger RNA. The mRNAs transcribed from a single gene may splice together different parts of the sequence of the gene. (23 Aug 1998) |
| protein splicing | Excision of in-frame internal protein sequences (inteins) of a precursor protein, coupled with ligation of the flanking sequences (exteins). Protein splicing is an autocatalytic reaction and results in the production of two proteins from a single primary translation product: the intein and the mature protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| self splicing | <molecular biology> Self catalysed removal of group 5 introns, mediated by six paired conserved regions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| splicing | <molecular biology> The process by which introns are removed from hnRNA to produce mature messenger RNA that contains only exons. Alternative splicing seems to occur in many proteins and by alternative exon usage a set of related proteins can be generated from one gene, often in a tissue or developmental stage specific manner.
