Uracilo en vez de Timina, se empareja con Adenina, y también con
Guanina cuando se pliega (no en la transcripción).

TRANSCRIPCIÓN
Función: la formación del transcrito de RNA mediante la catálisis
de la unión de nucleótidos libres a la cadena molde del DNA
formando una monohebra de RNA.
Propiedades que hacen posible la síntesis del transcrito de
RNA
1. COMPLEMENTARIEDAD ENTRE BASES
A-U, C-G, G-C, T-A

Depende de cada gen, no es un propiedad del cromosoma.
¿Qué cadena de la doble hélice es la codificadora?
Orientación de la transcripción

RNA polimerasa
Enzima compleja, no requiere primer (cebador), no funciona la
corrección de errores
Procariotas: sólo un tipo. Con múltiples subunidades.
E. Coli :
Eucariotas: 3 tipos

PROCARIOTAS
En procariotas una sola polimerasa (RNA Polimerasa) se encarga de
transcribir el DNA en las diferentes clases de RNA
ESTRUCTURA (E. coli)
Se compone de 5 subunidades: 2 subunidades idénticas, , ’, ω, más
el cofactor .
El cofactor tiene la propiedad de disociarse del resto de
subunidades durante el proceso dejando el núcleo central de la
enzima al descubierto.
HOLOENZIMA = 5 subunidades (con cofactor ) ACTIVA
APOENZIMA = 4 subunidades ( el cofactor disociado) INACTIVA
RNA polimerasa
= actividad catalítica
ω = ensamblaje y regulación expresión

1- Existen tres tipos de RNA polimerasa
La I, la II y la III
RNA polimerasa I, 13 subunidades. Se localiza en el núcleo y en el
nucleolo. -> Síntesis de rARN 45S.
RNA polimerasa II, 12 subunidades. Se localiza en el nucleoplasma.
-> Síntesis de los hnRNA (transcrito primario), los precursores
de los mRNA.
RNA polimerasa III, 17 subunidades. Se localiza en el nucleoplasma.
-> Síntesis rRNA 5S y tRNA.

3 RNA polimerasas.
El RNA recién transcrito, no tiene.
Contiene, al comienzo de la cadena, 7-metil-guanosina o CAP, y al
final de la cadena, una secuencia poli A.
Comienzo
RNA pol, se autoacopla al promotor
RNA pol, necesita la presencia de proteínas de iniciación, que se
unan antes que ella al ADN.

A group of small RNA molecules, distinct from but related to
siRNAs, have been identified in a variety of organisms. These small
RNAs, called microRNAs (miRNAs), are transcribed as parts of longer
RNA molecules that can be as long as 1000 nt. The RNAs are
processed in the nucleus into hairpin RNAs of 70-100 nt by the
dsRNA-specific ribonuclease Drosha. The hairpin RNAs are
transported to the cytoplasm via a transportin-5 dependent
mechanism where they are digested by a second, double-strand
specific ribonuclease called Dicer. The resulting 19-23 mer
miRNA is bound by a complex that is similar to the RNA-Induced
Silencing Complex (RISC) that participates in RNA interference
(RNAi). In animals, the complex-bound, single-stranded miRNA
binds specific mRNAs through sequences that are significantly,
though not completely, complementary to the mRNA. By a
mechanism that is not fully characterized— but which apparently
does not involve mRNA degradation as in RNAi— the bound mRNA
remains untranslated, resulting in reduced expression of the
corresponding gene.
The function of most miRNAs is not known. A number of miRNAs,
however, seem to be involved in gene regulation. Some of these
miRNAs, including lin-4 and let-7, inhibit protein synthesis by
binding to partially complementary 3' untranslated regions (3'
UTRs) of target mRNAs. Others, including the Scarecrow miRNA found
in plants, function like siRNA and bind to perfectly complementary
mRNA sequences to destroy the target transcript (1).
