Translation in Eukaryotes:

We move now to transcription in eukaryotes, a much more difficult procedure than in prokaryotes. In the eukaryotes, translation and transcription take place in various cellular compartments that are: transcription takes place in the membrane-bounded nucleus, while translation takes place outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. In the prokaryotes, the two processes are nearly coupled. Indeed, the translation of bacterial mRNA starts although the transcript is since being synthesized. The temporal and spatial separation of translation and transcription enables eukaryotes to regulate gene expression in much more intricate paths, contributing to the richness of eukaryotic create and function.

The second main difference among eukaryotes and prokaryotes is the extent of RNA processing. While both eukaryotes and prokaryotes change transfer RNA and rRNA, eukaryotes very extensively procedure nascent RNA destined to become mRNA. Firstly transcripts pre-mRNA molecules the products of RNA polymerase action acquire a cap at their 5′ ends and a poly (A) tail at their 3′ ends. Most significantly, closely all mRNA precursors in higher eukaryotes are spliced. The Introns are exactly excised from primary transcripts and exons are joined to form mature mRNAs with continuous messages. Several mRNAs are only a tenth the size of their precursors that can be as huge as more or 30 kb. The pattern of splicing can be regulated in the course of development to produce differences on a theme like as membrane-bound and secreted forms of antibody molecules. In the other words splicing enlarges the repertoire of proteins in eukaryotes and is a clear description of why the proteome is more complex than the genome.
