Target type: biologicalprocess
The directed movement of mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
mRNA transport is a complex and essential process that ensures the delivery of genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where protein synthesis takes place. It is a highly regulated process that involves multiple steps and factors, including:
1. **Transcription and 5' capping:** The process begins with the transcription of DNA into mRNA in the nucleus. As mRNA is being transcribed, a 5' cap is added to its 5' end. The 5' cap is a modified guanine nucleotide that protects the mRNA from degradation and helps it bind to ribosomes.
2. **Splicing:** In eukaryotic cells, most genes contain introns, non-coding sequences that must be removed from the pre-mRNA before it can be translated into protein. This removal of introns is called splicing and is mediated by the spliceosome, a complex of proteins and RNA molecules.
3. **Polyadenylation:** Once splicing is complete, the 3' end of the pre-mRNA is cleaved and a poly(A) tail is added. The poly(A) tail is a string of adenine nucleotides that protects the mRNA from degradation and helps it bind to ribosomes.
4. **Nuclear export:** After the mRNA has been processed, it is transported out of the nucleus through nuclear pores. This process is mediated by proteins called export receptors, which recognize specific signals in the mRNA, such as the 5' cap and the poly(A) tail.
5. **Cytoplasmic localization:** Once in the cytoplasm, the mRNA can be translated into protein. In some cases, mRNAs are targeted to specific locations within the cytoplasm. This localization is often mediated by specific sequences in the mRNA that bind to proteins that direct the mRNA to the correct location.
6. **Translation and degradation:** Finally, the mRNA is translated into protein by ribosomes. After translation, the mRNA is degraded by enzymes called ribonucleases.
The process of mRNA transport is essential for gene expression and is tightly regulated to ensure that the correct proteins are produced at the correct time and location. Disruptions in mRNA transport can lead to a variety of diseases.'
