| tRNA | GLU transfer ribonucleic acid glutamic acid |
|---|---|
| tRNA-i(met) | transfer ribonucleic acid initiator methionine |
| tRNA-SER | transfer ribonucleic acid serine |
| leucine-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates leucine with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Leucine:tRNA(Leu) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| lysine-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates lysine with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Lysine:tRNA(Lys) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.6 (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| alternative mRNA splicing | Splicing different exons in or out of messenger RNA to form different mRNA transcripts. (09 Oct 1997) |
| alternative splicing | A process whereby multiple protein isoforms are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of nonconsecutive exons during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form messenger RNA. The alternative forms produce proteins in which one part is common while the other part is different. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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. (18 Nov 1997) |
| splicing endonuclease | <enzyme> Cleaves intervening sequences of precursors trna, which are then joined by an RNA ligase Registry number: EC 3.1.27.- Synonym: pre-trna splicing endonuclease, trna splicing endonuclease, splicing endonuclease (xenopus), 3'-pre-trna endonuclease, trna-splicing endonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| intron splicing | The excision of mRNA fragments, which correspond to non-coding DNA introns, and the ligation of the remaining mRNA fragments to form a single molecule. (14 Nov 1997) |
| trans splicing | <molecular biology> Relating to RNA splicing of two different pre mRNA molecules together. Seems to rely on intron like sequences. Contrasts with the normal cis splicing of conventional RNA molecules. (19 Jan 1998) |
