  Messenger RNA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because eukaryotic transcription and translation is compartmentally separated, eukaryotic mRNAs must be exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
Shortly after the start of transcription, the 5' end of the mRNA being synthesized is bound by a cap-synthesizing complex associated with RNA polymerase.
Stability of mRNAs may be mediated by the 5' UTR and 3' UTR due to varying affinity for certain RNA degrading enzymes (RNases), which can promote or inhibit the relative stability of the RNA molecule.

 BioChain-diagnosis, tissue section, protein lysate, mRNA, RNA, cDNA, genomic DNA, antibody
BioChain's mRNA is isolated from total RNA obtained from human adult and fetal normal tissues, human tumor and diseased tissues, as well as from mouse, rat, monkey, and plant tissues.
The purity and intactness of the mRNA is verified by agarose gel electrophoresis, Northern analysis, cDNA synthesis, and capillary electrophoresis using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer.
The mRNA is isolated from a variety of human normal adult, fetel, tumor, or mouse, rat and monkey tissues.

 mRNA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The role of mRNA is to move the information contained in DNA to the translation machinery.
This cap serves to identify this RNA molecule as an mRNA to the translational machinery.
Both the 5' cap and the 3' tail are added after the RNA is transcribed and contribute to the stability of the mRNA in the cell.

 Estrogen Regulation of mRNA Degradation
The level of an mRNA in the cytoplasm represents a balance between the rate at which the mRNA precursor is synthesized in the nucleus and the rates of nuclear RNA processing and export and cytoplasmic mRNA degradation.
Although it is well known that actinomycin D and other global inhibitors of mRNA synthesis interfere with diverse cell processes and often produce artifacts in measuring mRNA degradation rates, the absence of alternatives methods has led to their continued and widespread use.
The degradation of the mRNA is measured by quantitative RT-PCR and is made possible by improved methods for eliminating the transfected DNA from the RNA samples (Mao and Shapiro, unpublished).

 Transcription and Translation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The information which codes for the polypeptide begins with an initiation codon or start signal that in bacteria is always the codon AUG (this codes for the amino acid n-formyl methione).
The bulk of the mRNA molecule is the sequence of codons that code for the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain.
At the very end of the mRNA molecule is double region containing a self complementary sequence that folds and base pairs into a hairpin loop.

 Smith Lab research - APOBEC-1 editing of apolipoprotein B mRNA
ApoB mRNA editing was first suggested to be a nuclear process from the analysis of the proportion of edited apoB mRNA among intermediates in the biosynthesis of processed nuclear mRNA and cytoplasmic apoB mRNA.
Hormonal stimulation of apoB mRNA editing activity is coincident with nuclear import of ACF (native ACF shown in green) to the nucleus (DAPI stained blue).
Molecular analysis of apoB mRNA demonstrated that the RNA editing response to ethanol occurred rapidly (within minutes to 2 h) and was sustained (7-18 h).

 ExonHit - Alternative Splicing - RNA Processing - mRNA surveillance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
However, if the mRNA surveillance machinery detects an in frame stop codon upstream of the last exon then mechanisms are initiated to either degrade the transcript or remove the premature stop codon to allow expression of almost full length protein.
In order to verify that the stop codon is positioned in the last exon of the mRNA each exon/exon boundary must be flagged prior to, or during, the RNA splicing process.
These exon/exon junction complexes remain bound to the mRNA and are only displaced by the ribosome during the primary round of translation.

 Spidey -- mRNA to genomic alignment
When multiple mRNAs are aligned to a single genomic sequence, the results page will start with a list of the mRNAs that were run so that you can easily jump down to see the results.
The minimum percent identity and mRNA length coverage are cutoffs that Spidey uses to evaluate the final alignments.
If the percent identity of the final alignment is lower than the specified cutoff, or if the percent of the mRNA's length that is covered by the alignment is lower than the percent length chosen, the final alignment will not be reported.

 Differential Expression of Human Metallothionein Isoform I mRNA in Human Proximal Tubule Cells Exposed to Metals
As was the case for MT-1E mRNA of Cd -exposed cells, the increase in expression compared to control was evident at the lowest levels of Zn and Cu exposure where there was no loss of HPT cell viability.
These results indicate that MT-1F mRNA is a rare transcript in HPT cells under basal conditions and that the level of expression is not increased due to metal exposure.
MT-1G and MT-1H mRNA displayed marginal bands approximately 20% of the time at 40 reaction cycles; however, the occurrence of bands had no discernible pattern under basal conditions or when the cells were exposed to the six metals (data not shown).

 Assessment of Within-group Variation in CYP1A mRNA Inducibility in Environmentally Exposed and Chemically Treated ...
In controlled laboratory experiments, we have demonstrated that CYP1A mRNA is inducible in Atlantic tomcod by exposure to low concentrations of aromatic hydrocarbons such as PAHs, a coplanar PCB congener, and TCDD and that levels of gene expression are dose-responsive (Grunwald et al.
However, these results indicate that variation in CYP1A mRNA gene expression was high in tomcod even when treated under controlled laboratory conditions, suggesting that a major component of variation in gene expression in environmentally exposed fish is due to intrinsic biological factors which impact on gene inducibility.
The effect of temperature on CYP1A mRNA induction was investigated by injecting (ip) Hudson River tomcod with a single treatment of ß-NF (100 ppm) and maintaining groups of five to ten fish at 0°, 5°, 7.5°, or 10° C, for 3 days before sacrificing.

 A Molecular Biology Glossary
In an mRNA, a codon is a sequence of three nucleotides which codes for the incorporation of a specific amino acid into the growing protein.
The term mRNA is used only for a mature transcript with polyA tail and with all introns removed, rather than the primary transcript in the nucleus.
This "primer" is hybridized to mRNA (say, a mixture of mRNA containing the one in which you are interested), and reverse transcriptase is added to copy the mRNA from the primer out to the 5' end.

The isolation of messenger RNA (mRNA or poly(A+) RNA) from complex biological samples is often tedious and time-consuming.
Once captured and isolated, mRNAs may be detected directly with labeled probes or else used as templates to direct amplification of complementary nucleic acid sequence.
The mRNA is captured, reverse transcribed and PCR-amplified in the same tube, significantly reducing the number of handling steps and the chance for introducing contaminants.

Having a lighter core as opposed to a magnetite core allows for the beads to stay in suspension longer during the binding and washing steps than heavier magnetite core beads; this maximizes mRNA binding to the bead and also allows contaminants to be removed efficiently and effectively.
We also optimized the buffer system to maximize mRNA yield so you have to repeat fewer purification experiments because of low yield or quality—all of which saves you valuable time and allows you to reach your research goals faster and easier than before.
