In molecular biology, the five-prime cap (5′ cap) is a specially altered nucleotide on the 5′ end of some primary transcripts such as precursor messenger RNA.This process, known as mRNA …

2020年6月22日 · The 5’ cap protests the newly-synthesized mRNA from degradation. It also assists in ribosome binding to help initiating translation. 3’ poly-A tail protects mRNA from …

2025年3月11日 · The 5′ cap’s role in translation is closely tied to the cap-binding complex, ensuring mRNA is properly processed and translated. This complex is primarily composed of …

mRNA caps in eukaryotes. Excellent reviews on the biological roles of m7G cap 0 and cap 1 in eukaryotes and the viral RNA capping machineries are available in the literature (4,5).In this …

2025年3月17日 · The 5′ cap, a modified guanosine nucleotide, protects against exonucleases and facilitates ribosome recognition. This cap, a 7-methylguanosine (m7G) linked via a 5′-5′ …

The cap is formed through a 5'-5' linkage between the two substrates such that the GTP molecule is oriented in the opposite direction as the other nucleotides in the RNA transcript chain. Once …

2024年5月30日 · The 5′ cap is chemically equivalent to the 3′ end of an RNA molecule (the 5′ carbon of the cap ribose is bonded, whereas the 3′ carbon is unbonded). This significantly …

A 5′ cap-0 structure occurs when there is no modification to the adjacent nucleotide. Adding a methyl group to the first nucleotide creates a cap-1 structure. Cap-0 and cap-1 structures are …

The 5' cap is a modified guanine nucleotide added to the beginning of eukaryotic mRNA transcripts during RNA processing. This structure protects the mRNA from degradation, …

5' cap structure. Capping is a three-step process that utilizes the enzymes RNA triphosphatase, guanylyltransferase, and methyltransferase. [1] [2] Through a series of three steps, the cap is …
