Cleavage and polyadenylation specificityfactor CPSF or Cleavage polyadenylation stimulating factor is involved in the cleavage of the 3 signaling region from a newly synthesized pre messenger RNA pre mRNA molecule in the process of transcription genetics gene transcription . It is the first protein to bind to the signaling region near the cleavage site of the pre mRNA, to which the polyadenylation polyadenine tail will be added by polyadenine polymerase . The upstream signaling region has the canonical nucleotide sequence AAUAAA, which is highly conserved across the vast majority of pre mRNAs. A second downstream signaling region, located on the portion of the pre mRNA that is cleaved before polyadenylation, consists of a GU rich region required for efficient processing. CPSF is a protein complex consisting of four proteins CPSF 73 , CPSF 100 , CPSF 30 and CPSF 160 . CPSF 73 is believed to be the endonuclease which cleaves mRNA precursor and the crystal structure of its N terminal domain has been resolved. CPSF recruits additional proteins to the 3 region. Identified proteins that are coordinated by CPSF activity include cleavage stimulatory factor and the two poorly understood cleavage factor s. The binding of the polyadenine polymerase responsible for actually synthesizing the tail is a necessary prerequisite for cleavage, thus ensuring that cleavage and polyadenylation are tightly coupled processes.

The specificity constant math k cat K M math , sometimes referred to as the turnover number , is a measure of the efficiency of an enzyme because the rate of the reaction directly varies with how frequently enzyme and substrate meet and how efficiently they bind in a solution. The specificity constant is a very useful kinetic value as it identifies the best substrate for a particular enzyme, in other words the specificity of an enzyme for a substrate. The Michaelis dissociation constant math K M math reflects how well enzyme and substrate interact while the catalytic constant math k cat math reflects the maximum rate of product formation how fast the enzyme works . Since the maximum rate of product formation depends on how well the enzyme and substrate bind, its upper limit is the rate of enzyme and substrate binding math k f math .

Cleavage factors are two closely related protein s involved in the cleavage of the 3 signaling region from a newly synthesized pre messenger RNA mRNA molecule in the process of transcription genetics gene transcription . The cleavage is the first step in adding a polyadenylation polyadenine tail to the pre mRNA, which is one of the necessary post transcriptional modification s necessary for producing a mature mRNA. There are two cleavage factors involved in the assembly of the protein complex that mediates this process, CFI and CFII. They are recruited to the cleavage site by cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor and cleavage stimulatory factor , and form a complex that also includes polyadenine polymerase , which performs the polyadenylation reaction.

A release factor is a protein that allows for the termination of Translation biology translation by recognizing the termination codon or stop codon in a mRNA sequence. During translation of mRNA, most codons are recognized by charged tRNA molecules, called aminoacyl tRNA s because they are adhered to specific amino acid s corresponding to each tRNA s anticodon . In the standard genetic code , there are three mRNA stop codons UAG amber , UAA ochre , and UGA opal or umber . Although these stop codons are triplets just like ordinary codons, they are not decoded by tRNAs. Instead, it was discovered by Mario Capecchi in 1967 that tRNAs do not ordinarily recognize stop codons at all, and that what he named release factor was not a tRNA molecule, but a protein. ref Capecchi, M. R. 1967 . Polypeptide chain termination in vitro Isolation of a release factor. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 58 1144 1151. ref Later, it was demonstrated that different release factors recognize different stop codons. ref Scolnick, E., R. Tompkins, T. Caskey, and M. Nirenberg 1968 .

Image NodSm IV Ac,C16 2,S .svg right thumb 300px The structure of nod factor from Sinorhizobium meliloti . Nodulation Nod factors are signaling molecule s produced by bacteria known as rhizobia during the initiation of root nodule nodules on the root of legume s. A symbiosis is formed when legumes take up the bacteria. The rhizobia produce nitrogen for the plant, and the legumes produce leghemoglobin to carry away any oxygen that would inhibit nitrogenase activity. Nod factors structurally are lipochitooligosaccharides LCOs that consist of an acylation acylated chitin oligomeric backbone with various functional group substitutions at the terminal or non terminal residues. The number of N acetylglucosamine molecules vary among Nod factors however, generally the length of a chitin backbone is from 3 to 5. The exact chemical structure of the Nod factor that is recognised by the plant varies between bacterial species and is the basis for host symbiont specificity. Nod factors are recognized by a specific class of Receptor biochemistry receptor kinase s that have so called LysM protein domain domain s in their extracellular domains. The two LysM lysin motif receptor kinases NFR1 and NFR5 that appear to make up the Nod factor receptor were first isolated in the model organism model legume Lotus japonicus in 2003. They now have been isolated also from soybean and the model legume Medicago truncatula . NFR5 lacks the classical activation loop in the kinase domain . The NFR5 gene lacks intron s. Nod gene expression is induced by the presence of certain flavonoid s in the soil, which are secreted by the plant to attract the bacteria ref Jos Angelo Silveira Zuanazzi, Pierre Henri Clergeot, Jean Charles Quirion, Henri Philippe Husson, Adam Kondorosi,1 and Pascal Ratet 1998 .
