Understanding our chassisOne important consideration to keep in mind while switching from the E. coli standard to yeast is that the signals for transcription and translation differ. In E. coli, sigma factors dictate the act of transcription. There are few distinct sigma factors present and Another key point in the comparison between prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems is that, due to the extensive compartmentalization seen in eukaryotic cells, transcription and translation occur within different locations of the cell. The two processes are also separated by, during which additional modifications are made to the precursor mRNA before it leaves the nucleus. |
