Maturing via a "trans-splicing" mechanism, polyadenyl tails are added at its 3' [three prime] termini, and in eukaryotes it is "capped" with an inverted methylated guanosine residue that is important near the end of transcription.
Initiation factors 2 and 4 are responsible for its joining with a 40 S molecule, and the Shine-Dalgarno or Kozak sequence elements are found near the binding site.

Stripped of introns by small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles, for 10 points, name this type of nucleic acid that is "read" by ribosomes, providing a template from which proteins are created during translation.
