The document summarizes several key post-transcriptional processes involved in modifying mRNA in eukaryotes. These include 5' capping, 3' polyadenylation, intron removal through splicing, and the role of heterogeneous ribonucleoproteins (hnRNP) in transporting mRNA out of the nucleus. The splicing process involves small nuclear RNAs binding in a spliceosome to catalyze two transesterification reactions that remove introns and ligate exons. Mature mRNA can also be generated through trans-splicing of separate RNA molecules or alternative splicing of different exons from the same gene. Nuclear pore complexes selectively transport molecules including mRNA in and out of the nucleus.
