  5. Translation: An Overview

  6. Translation: Initiation • A tRNA with an attached methionine amino acid binds to a small ribosomal subunit, forming an initiation complex.

  7. Translation: Initiation (2) • The initiation complex binds to end of mRNA and travels down until it encounters an AUG codon in the mRNA. • The anticodon of the tRNA in the initiation complex forms base pairs with the AUG codon.

  8. Translation: Initiation (3) • The large ribosomal subunit binds to the small subunit, with the mRNA between the two subunits. • The methionine tRNA is in the first tRNA site on the large subunit.

  9. Translation: Elongation 1 • The second tRNA enters the second tRNA site • The tRNA that binds must be able to match its anticodon (CAA in this example) to base pair with the codon (GUU in this example) in the mRNA. • tRNAs with a CAA anticodon carry an attached valine amino acid, which was added to it by enzymes in the cytoplasm.

  10. Translation: Elongation 2 • The catalytic site on the large subunit catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond linking the amino acids • The two amino acids are now attached to the tRNA in the second binding position.

  11. Translation:Elongation 3 • The "empty" tRNA is released and the ribosome moves down the mRNA, one codon to the right. • The tRNA that is attached to the two amino acids is now in the first tRNA binding site and the second tRNA binding site is empty.

  12. Translation: Elongation 4 • Another tRNA enters the second tRNA binding site carrying its attached amino acid. • The tRNA has an anticodon that pairs with the codon. (Here, the CAU mRNA codon pairs with a GUA tRNA anticodon.) • The tRNA molecule carries the amino acid histidine (his).

  13. Translation: Elongation 5 • The catalytic site forms a new peptide bond, in this example, between the valine and the histidine. • A three-amino acid chain is now attached to the tRNA in the second tRNA binding site. • The empty tRNA in the first site is released and the ribosome moves one codon to the right.

  14. Translation:Termination • Binding of tRNAs, & formation of peptide bonds continues. • Ribosome reaches STOP codon (UAG). • Protein "release factors" signal the ribosome to release the protein. • The mRNA is also released and large & small subunits separate.
