- Abstract
This article presents information related to recent developments in the field of molecular biology. The nuclear export of mRNA requires that the nucleic acid associate with specific export factors in a ribonucleoprotein complex (mRNP). As the mRNP translocates through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), it sheds some of the export factors to make room for the binding of cytoplasmic proteins required for mRNA localization and translation. Transposons are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements found in most genomes examined. In fact, a large part of some genomes, including that of man, is composed of transposable elements.
