Protein synthesis • Protein synthesis requires more than a hundred macromolecules [mRNA,tRNA,activating enzymes,protein factors,ribosomes] • There are three steps in protein synthesis • -initiation • Elongation • termination
Activation of aminoacids • +Activated precursors of prot.synthesis are aminoacil-tRNAs • The carboxyl group of an aa is joined to the 3-terminus of a tRNA • The linking of aa to its coresponding tRNA is catalyzed by an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase • ATP • Reaction aa+ATP+tRNA---aa-tRNA+AMP+PPi
İn the first step,the aa is joined to AMP,forming an aminoacyl AMP intermediate • İn the second step,the aa is transfered to the 3’CCA terminus of the acceptor tRNA and AMP is released. • Both step of the reaction are catalyzed by aminoacyl tRNA synthetases.
İnitiation of protein synthesis • İn both eucaryotic and procaryotic cells,translation always initiates with the aa methionine usually encoded by AUG. • Alternative initiation codon such as GUG are used in bacteria. • İn most bacteria protein synthesis is initiated with a modified methionine(N-formyl methionine),whereas unmodified methionine initiate prot.synt.in eucaryotes
Formation of initiatiator tRNA • Methionyl-tRNAsynthetaze adds methionine to the methionyl tRNAs • Second step is the formylation • Formylation is catalized by transformylase (N10- formyltetrahydrofolate) • This product is called formyl methionyl tRNA
RİBOSOMES • Ribosoms in procaryotes consist of a large and small subunit. • 30S subunit contains 21 proteins and 16S ribosomal RNA. • 50S subunit contains 34 proteins and 2 rRNA molecules. (23S and 5S)
Protein factors: • Initiation factor 1 (IF1) prevents the reassociation of diassociated 50S and 30S subunits. • IF2 is necessary to the formation of IF2.GTP.fMet tRNAf complex (ternary complex) • IF3 is similar to IF1
initiation of protein synthesis: • 1) Ternary complex formation (IF2.GTP.initiator tRNA) • This complex binds to mRNA to form 30S initiation complex • The intereacting components are(mRNA+30S subunit+fMet tRNAf+GTP+Initiation factors) • The fmet-tRNAf is located to the AUG (initiator)codon • 50S subunit joins to 30S initiation complex to form a 70S initiation complex. GTP is hydrolysed, all these factors are released. • The 70S initiation coplex is ready for elongation step of protein synhesis.
tRNA-mRNA-rRNAbase-pairinginteractions • determine accuracy of protein synthesis.
İnitiation • Formation of a 30S initiationcomplex • 30S ribosomalsubunit • mRNA • Formylmethionyl-tRNA • GTP • İnitiationfactors
ELONGATİON CYCLE IN PROTEIN SYNTHESIS • This cycle consist of three steps: • binding of aa-tRNA to the A site[codon recognation] • Peptid bond formation • Translocation
The ribosome has three tRNA binding sites; P [peptidyl],A [aminoacyl],E [exit] • The first step starts with the insertion of aa-tRNA into the empty A site • The initiator tRNA is located to the P site • aa-tRNA is brought to the A site by EF-Tu complexed with GTP • Following GTP hydrolysis ,EF-Tu.GDP leaves the ribosome,with aa-tRNA correctly placed at the A site
Peptid bond formation • aa-tRNA is located to the A site,initiator tRNA is in P site • A peptid bound is formed,resulting in the transfer of formyl- methionine to the aa-tRNA at the A site • This reaction is catalyzed by peptidyltransferase,is located in the 50S • Dipeptidyl-tRNA occupies the A site,an uncharged tRNA occupies P site
Elongation : Peptide Bond Synthesis[peptide bond formed and growing peptide moves from P-site to A-site]
The next step is translocation • Three movements occur • The uncharged tRNA leaves the P site • The peptidyl-tRNA moves from A site to the P site • The ribosome moves three nucleotides along the mRNA • This process requires EF-G (translocase) and GTP
50S Peptidyltransferase : A ribozymeactivity • 23S RNA-catalyzed peptide bond format
Termination • Termination codons are UAA;UAG;UGA • Aa-tRNA does not bind to the A site if the codons are stops • These codons are recognized by release factor • RF-1 recognized UAA or UAG • RF-2 recognized UAA or UGA
Termination:• Protein release factor(s) recognizes a stop codon.• Stimulates release of new protein
Protein synthesis in eucaryotes • İt is very complex process • Protein synthesis requires,ATP,GTP,tRNAs,mRNAs,aminoacids,aminoacyltRNA-synthetases,two sets of enzymes • One set,is for the process of initiation,the other for elongation and release of the nascent of peptid chain
Protein synthesis in Eucaryotes • İnitiationfactors[10 differentfactors] • eIF-1,eIF-1A,eIF-2,eIF-2B,eIF-3,eIF-4A,eIF-4B,eIF-4E,eIF-4G,eIF-5 • Elongationfactors • eEF-1alfa,eEF-1Beta,gama,eEF-2 • Terminationfactors • eRF-1,eRF-3
Ribosomes • 80S ribosome consists of 60S and 40S subunits • 60S contains 50 proteins,and 3 rRNA molecules[5s rRNA,28SrRNA,5.8S rRNA] • 40S contains 33 proteins and28S rRNA molecule

Scanning requires energy [ATP] • When AUG is identified eIF-5 triggers the hydrolysis of GTP bound to eIF-2 • eIF-2 .GDP and other factors are released • 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the 40S complex • Elongation and termination steps are similar to procaryotes
