Which of the following is not a post-transcriptional modification of RNA?
A. SplicingB. 5- capping
C. 3'-poly adenylation
D. Glycosylation
Answer. D.
Glycosylation
Glycosylation has not been mentioned as a post-transitional
modification of RNA.
5' - capping: Is
required both for efficient translation initiation and protection of 5' - end
of MRNA from attack by 5'-3' exonucleases.
3' - poly adenylatlon: Added to 3'-end of mRNA molecules in a post
transcriptional processing step. This appears to protect the 3'-end of mRNA
from 3' - 5' exo-nuclease attack.
