試題詳解

33. Once transcription is finished and the primary RNA transcript is produced, it must undergo various processing reactions to yield functional RNAs. Which of the following descriptions about pre-mRNA processing are CORRECT?
(A) In eukaryotic cells, pre-mRNAs are processed by 5' capping, 3' cleavage, polyadenylation and splicing in the cytoplasm.
(B) Spliceosome is a large ribonucleoprotein complex catalyzing two transesterification reactions that joint two exons and remove the intron as a lariat structure.
(C) Translation can be repressed by micro RNAs (miRNAs), which form imperfect hybrids with sequences in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of specific target mRNAs.
(D) RNA interference, which probably evolved as an early defense system against viruses and transposons, leads to degradation of mRNAs that form perfect hybrids with short interfering RNAs (siRNAs).
(E) Many mRNA are transported to specific subcellular location by sequence-specific DNA-binding protein thus permit production of proteins at specific regions.
