Translation: The required materials

Translation: The Permission
5’ UTR
3’ UTR
5
The template: mRNA codons
1- mRNA always is read in 5’ to 3’ direction
2- The information for the translation are in the form of codon
3- Since there are 4 letters- A, C, U, G- the total number of codons is 64
4- 61 codon specify an aa the remaining
UAA Ochre
(UAA, UGA, UGA) are stop codons
UAG Amber
5- The initiation codon is AUG which codes for Met
UGA opal
Codons:
1- are triplet
2- are almost Universal
UUA
3- are unambiguous
UUG
4-have no punctuation
CUU
The degeneracy
CUC
5- are non-Overlapping
CUA
6-are degenerate ( synonym)
CUG
6
Open reading frame of mRNA
One mRNA can be read in 3 different ways( reading frames)
mRNA
5’--------AUGCAUGCAUGCGGU----------3’
5’--------AUA GAU CCA UGA GGU----------3’ Blocked
5’-------A UAG AUC CAU GAG GU----------3’ Blocked
5’--------AU AGA UCC AUG AGG U----------3’ ORF( Open reading frame)
* Only one is usually correct- gives the correct protein
* Translation of the correct reading frame requires selection

Ribosome: structure, subunits, sites, types
•Is a ribonucleoprotein structure
•Has two subunits
•Has three sites (A, P & E)
•May be 70 or 80 S

Ribosomal RNA
1- 60% ribosome is
rRNA
2- rRNA has a
complex secondary
structure
3- various ribosomal
proteins are
associated with
discrete areas of the
rRNA

Formation of aminoacyl tRNA (“charged tRNA”)
13
Enzymes

1- Amino acyl- tRNA Synthetases
Linkage of aa the tRNAs

2- Peptidyle Transferase
Peptidyle bond formation

3- Peptidyle Translocase
Peptidyle Translocation from A-site to the P-site

Different Stages in Protein Synthesis



Recognition & Initiation
Elongation
Termination ( Release)
17
How does the ribosome know where to begin
protein synthesis ?– the recognition of ORF
In Prokaryotes:
‘Shine-delgarno ’ is a 5-10
nt. sequence at 3’ 16S rRNA
that is complementary to 5’
mRNA sequence just
upstream of strat codon
There is one SD for each
cistron
SD anchors ribosome to the
start site
Small changes in this
sequence reduce the efficacy
of the translation
18
How does the ribosome know where to begin
protein synthesis?- initiation aa
Most proteins begin on AUG (GUG & UUG less frequently)
The first amino acid incorporated (in prokaryotes) is Formyl
Methionine bound to an initiator tRNAfmet
O
R (amino acid side chain)
HC-NH-CH-COOH
- Note: f-Met looks like a peptide!
- normal tRNAmet only recognizes AUG while tRNAf-Met
will recognize AUG, GUG & UUG codons
- f-Met only used at initiation
19
Recognition and Initiation in prokaryotes
20
Elongation in prokaryotes
The new tRNA with next aa comes into the A site
The formation of the peptide bond is catalyzed by
the rRNA in the 50S large subunit ( ribozyme)
1- After formation of the peptide bond the
ribosome is ‘translocated’ or moved down the
RNA
2- The tRNA which now has the
nascent peptide is now moved to the P site
The new tRNA with next aa
comes into the A site
The tRNA that was previously
attached
to the peptide is then moved
to the
21
E site, then released
Summary of different stages of Translation in
Prokaryotes

Elongation
Termination

23
Recognition and Initiation in Eukaryotes
Most steps are the same, However the
initiation is more complex
More initiation factors( at least 11) are
required
No shine-Dalgarno in mRNA
CAP binding factor recognize the 5’
end and by scanning the first AUG is
find
The initiator tRNA (tRNAi Met) is special
but not formylated
There are UTRs at the both ends of
mRNA that regulate the translation
rate
IRES ( internal ribosomal entry sites)
24
Recognition and initiation in eukaryotes
Activation of IFs by phosphorylation
25
Elongation & Termination in
Eukaryotes

Elongation is similar to Prokaryotes


EF1B homolog to EF-Ts
EF2 homolog to EF-G
EF1A homolog to EF-Tu

Termination even is simpler:

Only one RF binds with GTP at the termination
codon


Summary of Prokaryotic vs.
Eukaryotic Translation
1- general processes are very similar
2- eukaryotic ribosomes are larger. 4.2 MDa vs 2.7
MDa
3- in Eukaryotes, special Meti tRNA is NOT
formylated
4- No Shine-Delgarno sequence. Initiation occurs
at the first start codon after 5’-cap
5 - Additional initiation factors required in eukaryotes
