Nitrate transport is an example that is of interest not only because of its nutritional importance, nitrate is negatively charged, and such an electric charge imposes an energy requirement for the transport, Mutants in nitrate transport or nitrate reduction can be selected by growth in the presence of chlorate, Chlorate is;

A group of introns that-unlike those we have considered thus far-can splice themselves out of pre-mRNA without the need for the spliceosome, they are called

#Question id: 4508

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Statement: In the case of group II introns, the chemistry of splicing and the RNA intermediates produced are the same as those for nuclear pre-mRNA.

 Explanations: I. The intron uses an A residue within the branch site to attack the phosphodiester bond at the boundary between its 5’ end and the end of the 5’ exon-that is, at the 5’ splice site. This reaction produces the branched lariat.

II. A second reaction in which the newly freed 3’ -OH of the exon attacks the 3’splice site, releasing the intron as a lariat and fusing the 3’ and 5’ exons.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Which statements are true about group I and group II introns,

A. Group I (and II) introns are not enzymes because they have a turnover number of only 1.

B. A third transesterification reaction can occur to cyclize the intron.

C. They cannot be readily converted into ribozymes.

D. It is similar to the way that the self-cleaving Hammerhead could be converted to a ribozyme by separating the active site from the substrate
