A ribosome has an mRNA binding site and three tRNA binding sites, known as the A, P, and E sites. This schematic ribosome will appear in later diagrams.

An rRNA molecule of the large Subunit catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between the new amino acid in the A site and the carboxyl end of the growing polypeptide in the P site. This step attaches the polypeptide to the tRNA in the A site. GDP Translocation. The ribosome translocates the tRNA in the A site to the P site. The empty tRNA in the P site is moved to the E site, where it is released. The mRNA moves along with its bound tRNAs, bringing the next codon to be translated into the A site. 3 GTP E P A Figure 17.18 The elongation cycle of translation

  18. Release factor Free polypeptide 5 3 3 3 5 5 Stop codon (UAG, UAA, or UGA) The two ribosomal subunits and the other components of the assembly dissociate. When a ribosome reaches a stop codon on mRNA, the A site of the ribosome accepts a protein called a release factor instead of tRNA. The release factor hydrolyzes the bond between the tRNA in the P site and the last amino acid of the polypeptide chain. The polypeptide is thus freed from the ribosome. 1 2 3 Figure 17.19 The termination of translation

  24. An SRP binds to the signal peptide, halting synthesis momentarily. The SRP binds to a receptor protein in the ER membrane. This receptor is part of a protein complex (a translocation complex) that has a membrane pore and a signal-cleaving enzyme. The SRP leaves, and the polypeptide resumes growing, meanwhile translocating across the membrane. (The signal peptide stays attached to the membrane.) Polypeptide synthesis begins on a free ribosome in the cytosol. The signal- cleaving enzyme cuts off the signal peptide. 2 3 1 4 5 6 Ribosome mRNA Signal peptide ER membrane Signal peptide removed Signal- recognition particle (SRP) Protein SRP receptor protein CYTOSOL Translocation complex Figure 17.21 The signal mechanism for targeting proteins to the ER The rest of the completed polypeptide leaves the ribosome and folds into its final conformation.
