Processing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In biochemistry, processing is both the post-transcriptional modification of eukaryotic RNA ( RNA processing for short ) and the post-translational modification of proteins ( protein processing for short ).

RNA processing

For more information, see the section Eukaryotic Pre-mRNA Processing in the article mRNA .

All modifications take place on the pre-mRNA , so that it can be exported from the cell nucleus as “mature mRNA” .

Various processes are summarized under RNA processing:

Protein processing

Proteins can be processed by proteolysis , phosphorylation , glycosylation and many other reactions.
