Nucleotide modifications can markedly influence mRNA processing and metabolism. New studies, one in PLOS Biology, show that approximately 130 yeast mRNAs contain dihydrouridine, a derivative of uridine. Functional studies show that dihydrouridine, in some cases, can affect mRNA splicing.
核苷酸修饰可以显著影响 mRNA 的加工和代谢。一项发表在《PLOS Biology》上的新研究表明,约 130 种酵母 mRNA 中含有二氢尿嘧啶核苷,这是尿嘧啶的一种衍生物。功能研究表明,在某些情况下,二氢尿嘧啶核苷会影响 mRNA 的剪接。
