  15. Translation • Synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm • Involves the following: 1. mRNA (codons) 2. tRNA (anticodons) 3. rRNA 4. ribosomes 5. amino acids

  16. Types of RNA • Three types ofRNA: A. messenger RNA (mRNA) B. transfer RNA (tRNA) C. ribosome RNA (rRNA) • Remember: all produced in thenucleus!

  17. A. Messenger RNA (mRNA) • Carries the information for a specific protein. • Made up of 500 to 1000 nucleotides long. • Made up of codons (sequence of three bases: AUG - methionine). • Each codon, is specific for an amino acid.

  19. B. Transfer RNA (tRNA) • Made up of 75 to 80 nucleotides long. • Picks up the appropriate amino acid floating in the cytoplasm (amino acid activating enzyme) • Transports amino acids to the mRNA. • Have anticodons that are complementary to mRNAcodons. • Recognizes the appropriate codons on the mRNA and bonds to them with H-bonds.

  23. C. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Made up of rRNA is 100 to 3000 nucleotides long. • Important structural component of a ribosome. • Associates with proteins to form ribosomes.

  24. Ribosomes • Large and small subunits. • Composed of rRNA (40%) and proteins (60%). • Both units come together and help bind the mRNA and tRNA. • Two sites fortRNA a. P site(first and last tRNA will attach) b. A site

  25. Ribosomes

  26. mRNA A U G C U A C U U C G Ribosomes Large subunit P Site A Site Small subunit

  27. Translation • Three parts: 1. initiation: start codon (AUG) 2. elongation: 3. termination: stop codon (UAG) • Let’s make a PROTEIN!!!!.

  28. mRNA A U G C U A C U U C G Translation Large subunit P Site A Site Small subunit

  29. Translation • Initiation • The inactive 40S and 60S subunits will bind to each other with high affinity to form inactive complex unless kept apart • This is achieved by eIF3, which bind to the 40S subunit • mRNA forms an initiation complex with a ribosome • A number of initiation factors participate in the process.

  30. Translation • Cap sequence present at the 5’ end of the mRNA is recognized by eIF4 • Subsequently eIF3 is bound and cause the binding of small 40S subunit in the complexes • The 18S RNA present in the 40 S subunit is involved in binding the cap sequence • eIF2 binds GTP and initiation tRNA, which recognize the the start codon AUG • This complex is also bound to 40S subunit

  31. Translation • Driven by hydrolysis of ATP, 40S complex migrate down stream until it finds AUG start codon • The large 60S subunit is then bound to the 40S subunit • It is accompanied by the dissociation of several initiation factor and GDP • The formation of the initiation complex is now completed • Ribosome complex is able to translate

  32. Translation • Extrachromosomal mRNAs have no cap site • Plastid mRNA has a special ribosome binding site for the initial binding to the small subunit of the ribosome (shine-Dalgarno sequence) • This sequence is also found in bacterial mRNA, but it is not known in the mitochondria • In the prokaryotic, the initiation tRNA is loaded with N-formylmethionine • After peptide formation, the formyl residue is cleaved from the methionine

  33. aa2 aa1 2-tRNA 1-tRNA G A U U A C Initiation anticodon A U G C U A C U U C G A hydrogen bonds codon mRNA

  34. Translation • Elongation • A ribosome contains two sites where the tRNAs can bind to the mRNA. • P (peptidyl) site allows the binding of the initiation tRNA to the AUG start codon. • The A (aminoacyl) site covers the second codon of the gene and the first is unoccupied • On the other side of the P site is the exit (E) site where empty tRNA is released

  35. Translation • Elongation • The elongation begins after the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA occupies the A site by forming base pairs with the second codon • Two elongation factors (eEF) play an important role • eEF1 binds GTP and guides the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site, during which GTP is hydrolized to GDP and P. • The cleavage of the energy-rich anhydride bond in GTP enables the aminoacyl-tRNA to bind to codon at the A site

  36. Translation • Elongation • Afterwards the GDP still bound to eEF1, is exchange for GTP as mediated by the eEF1 • The eEF1 -GTP is now ready for the next cycle • Subsequently a peptide linkage is form between the carboxyl group of methionine and the amino group of amino acid of the tRNA bound to A site • Peptidyl transferase catalyzing the reaction. It facilitates the N-nucleophilic attack on the carboxyl group, whereby the peptide bond is formed with the released of water

  37. Translation • Elongation • Accompanied by the hydrolysis of one molecule GTP to form GDP and P, the eEF2 facilitates the translocation of the ribosome along the mRNA to three bases downstream • Free tRNA arrives at site E is released, and tRNA loaded with the peptide now occupies the P Site • The third aminoacyl-tRNA binds to the vacant A site and a further elongation cycle can begin

  45. Translation • Release • When A site finally binds to a stop codon (UGA, UAG, UAA) • Stop codons bind eRF accompanied by hydrolysis GTP to form GDP and P • Binding of eRF to the stop codon alters the specificity the peptidyl transferase • Water instead amino acid is now the acceptor for the peptide chain • Protein released from the tRNA

  46. Ribosome Amino Acids forming Peptide chain P Site A Site E Site tRNA anti-codon AUG GGA codon Translation Met His Tyr Val Pro 3’ CAU UAC GUA CCU 5’ mRNA strand

  47. Translation • The difference • Eukaryotic and prokaryotic translation can react differently to certain antibiotics Puromycin an analog tRNA and a general inhibitor of protein synthesis  Cycloheximide only inhibits protein synthesis by eukaryotic ribosomes  Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline, Streptomycin inhibit protein synthesis by prokaryotic ribosome

  48. aa5 aa4 aa3 aa2 aa199 aa1 aa200 End Product • The end products of protein synthesis is a primary structure of a protein. • A sequence of amino acid bonded together by peptide bonds.
