Question
A factor involved in this process, U2AF, recognizes the poly·pyrimidine tract sequence. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this process, which features the ligation of a donor site to a branch site during its canonical form. This process is mainly facilitated by snRNPs (“snurps”).
ANSWER: RNA splicing [accept canonical splicing]
[10h] In canonical splicing, prospective intron removal sites can be identified using this rule. It is named for the highly conserved 5’ and 3’ dinucleotide sequences flanking most splice sites. Name either nucleotide sequence used to name this rule.
ANSWER: GU-AG rule [accept GT-AG rule; accept guanine in place of “G”; accept adenine in place of “A”; accept thymine in place of “T”; accept uracil in place of “U”; accept either underlined answer]
[10e] Mature mRNA that has undergone splicing and other modifications will progress through this process, in which a ribosome synthesizes a polypeptide from an mRNA template.
ANSWER: translation
