To determine:
The process by which prokaryotic cells overcome the problem of a stalled ribosome on an m-RNA that does not contain termination codon.
Introduction:
Messenger RNA surveillance is a technique which is used to detect and deal with the errors in messenger RNAs that may generate problems in the process of translation. A common type of mutation in DNA results in the generation of a codon from the termination codon, which encodes an amino acid. This activity originates a problem before the termination of translation mechanism, by installing a ribosome on the m-RNA. The same problem is occurred when a transcription mechanism terminates prematurely, and produces a truncated m-RNA that lack termination codon.
To determine:
The process by which eukaryotic cells overcome the problem of a stalled ribosome on an mRNA that does not contain termination codon.
