(4pts) List two structural features of a mRNA 5'cap. b. (4 pts) The 5 cap has two roles, identify these by filling the appropriate bubble. O It enhances the recognition of the transcript by the translation machinery O It associates with activators to increase transcription rates O It phosphorylates serine residues in the CTD of RNA Pol II O It protects the transcript from nuclease hydrolysis O It increases how frequently RNA Pol II is recruited to the initiation siteExplanation / Answer
Answer (a) The two structural role in 5' cap of an m-RNA are as follows:
1. 5' cap region protects the m-RNA from the degrading action of exonucleases because of the formation of unusual 5'-5' linkage.
2. 5' cap is also important for the binding of the ribosomes in the translation process.
Answer (b) The correct answer is 3rd option "It protects the transcript from nuclease hydrolysis".
