Abstract
Newly synthesized mRNA is neither naked nor static. Transcription is coupled to the assembly of mRNPs (messenger ribonucleoprotein particles) so that RNA-binding factors which are recruited to active transcription sites are available for immediate construction of the mRNP complex. These factors specify the processing, export, subcellular location, and stability of the mRNA. Assembly of the mRNP proceeds in an orderly fashion beginning with the association of the cap-binding protein complex. This step is followed by the splicing-dependent assembly of proteins at the exon junctions of intron-containing genes and the addition of adaptor proteins to facilitate RNA export. In this way it can be said that transcription is physically and functionally coupled to the pre-mRNA processing events that lead to the final, export-competent mRNP. The relationships among these processes are summarized in Figure 6.1.
