3. Control of Gene Expression - One Gene, Many Proteins Flashcards
1
Q
What does alternative RNA splicing allow?
A
The same primary transcript to produce different mRNA molecules depending upon which exons are included in the mature RNA transcript
2
Q
What three things is post translational protein structure modification a result of?
A
Cutting and combining polypeptide chains
adding phosphate to the protein
adding carbohydrate groups to the protein
3
Q
What does alternative splicing and post translational modifications result in?
A
A variety of proteins from the same gene
