TRANSLATION


Translation--

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


is a process in which a polypeptide is synthesized

according to the nucleotide sequence of m RNA.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

It is carried out by a translation complex comprising m RNA,

tRNA, ribosomes.

Occurs at the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Uses anticodon to the tRNA to bring an aminoacid to the

ribosomes.
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS.

GENETIC CODE.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


GENETIC CODE-

Genetic code is the language used to

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

convert the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA into the
sequence of amino acids of a protein.

A codon is a combination of three consecutive nucleotides

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

present on DNA or mRNA. Hence, it is commonly called a
triplet i.e. a codon is a triplet of nucleotides.

Three codons do not code for any amino acid and the signal

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the termination of protein synthesis. These are called
termination codons or stop codons. These are UAA, UGA and
UAG.
I

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

AUG is used as the first or initiation codon in all the proteins

synthesized from mRNA. It codes for methionine. Therefore, each
newly synthesized polypeptide chain [nascent chain] has
methionine as the first amino acid. However, it may not be present

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

in final fully functional mature protein because this amino acid may
be removed during processing and maturation of protein.

Codons on mRNA or DNA(from which mRNA is transcribed) are

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

read from 5` to 3` direction by the anti-codon loop of the tRNA.

INITIATION--

The 70s ribosome dissociated to form 30s and

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


50s subunits. A set of three proteins called initiation factor (IF-

1, IF-2, and IF-3 ) take part in initiation. Bacterial ribosome

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

contain three specific sites that bind aminoacyl-t RNAs. They

are the A site(aminoacyl site), the P site(peptidyl site) and the E

site(exit site).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Two initiation factor, IF-1 and IF-3, bind to the 30s ribosomal

subunit .The m RNA now bind to the 30s subunit in such a

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

fashion that the initiating codon (AUG) comes in to the P site on

the ribosome. AUG is the codon for methionine which has two t

RNAs.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

ELONGATION.

ELONGATION?

similar to initiation , a set of three elongation factor

( EF-1, EF-2, EF-3 ) participate in the elongation .

1) Binding of an incoming aminiacyl ?t RNA.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

2) peptide bond formation.

3) Translocation.
TRANSLATION.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

TERMINATION-

Elongation continues until last aminoacid is added as

coded by the m RNA. One of the three stop codons ?UAA, UAG,UGA occurs

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

immediately after the codon for the last aminoacid .
TRANSLATION IN EUKARYOTES.

INITIATION-
DISSOCIATION OF RIBOSOME -- The 80s intact

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


ribosome dissociate to its constituent subunits-40s and 60s. Two
initiation factor (elF-1 and elF-2 ) bind to 40s subunit and delays
its reassociation with the 60s subunit allowing the binding of
other initiation factors to the 40s subunit.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


FORMATION OF THE PREINITIATION COMPLEX-- The elongation

factor -2 (elF-2) binds GTP to form a binary complex which in
turn associates with t RNA (carrying methionine) to form ternary

complex.

The ternary complex bind to the 40s ribosomal subunit to form

43s pre initiation complex.

INITIATION.

REQUIREMENT--

AMP, GMP.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Occurs in following stages---
ACTIVATION OF Amino acid--
First amino acid combined to AMP to

form aminoacyl adenylate which is then attached to the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


corresponding t RNA.

SPLITING OF RIBOSOMES----
Ribosomes split into a smaller 40-S

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


subunits and 60-S subunit . eIF -3 and Eif -1a bind to 40S subunit

and eLF-6 bind to 60s subunit to stabilize them and prevent their re

acid , so activated methionine , that is t RNA met first binds eLF

FORMATION OF 48S pre-initiation complex ?

Binding of mRNA

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


to 43s pre-initiation complex leads to the formation of 48s pre-

initiation complex. This is mediated by eLF-3, eLF-4F.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

The 48s-pre-initiation complex then scans the mRNA in 5'-3'

direction for the initiation codon.
INITIATION COMPLEX.

the P site of ribosome to start the elongation.
INITIATION COMPLEX.

FORMATION OF INITIATION COMLEX--

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Activated m RNA is then

transferred to the 43s pre initiation complex to form 48s
initiation complex. The 48s initiation complex bind to the 60s

ribosomal subunit to form the 80s initiation complex.
ELONGATION.

ELONGATION--

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

once the process of translation is initiated, the

polypeptide chain is expanded in length by the sequential
addition of aminoacids.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Elongation is a cyclic process occurs in three steps.

1.Binding of amino acyl ?t RNA to the A site.

2.Peptide bond formation.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


3.Translocation.


TRANSLATION

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


TERMINATION-----

After several cycles of elongation incorporating

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the required number of aminiacids one of the three stop
codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) appears in the A site. The stop codon
is not recognised by any specific t RNA but a releasing factor
(RF) recognises and binds to the stop codon.
INHIBITORS OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Several antibiotics selectively act on bacterial ribosomes and

other ribosomes and other translation components to inhibit
protein synthesis and kill them.

CONTROL OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS.

CONTROL OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS-

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Control of protein synthesis

occurs at the stage of initiation at two levels.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

By eIF-2, preventing 43S PIC formation and

BY eIF-4F complex and preventing 48S PIC formation.
REGULATION.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

REGULATION BY eIF-2 -

eIF-2 is a trimeric protein having a, B

and y subunits. It is activated by phosphorylation of a- subunits

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

by several kinases.

Phosphorylated a-subunits binds to eLF2B and inctivates it.

This prevents 43S PIC formation and stops translation.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

REGULATION.

REGULATION BY elF-4F

eIF-4F is inactive when bound by a protein (4E-BP).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


On phosphorylation of 4EBP 4E becomes free and takes

part in 4F complex formation.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

4F then binds to mRNA cap and ultimately leads to the

formation of 48S PLC.
PROTEIN FOLDING

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Nascent protein undergoes folding with the help of chapreons

to acquire an appropriate three dimensional structure to
become active.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Protein that do not fold properly and become non functional,

are degraded . Some may aggregate to produce Prion disease.
POST ? TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

most of the newly synthesised proteins are not functional.

After attaining a three ? dimensional structure by folding
mechanism, these proteins undergo several structural and
chemical alteration to become fully functional.
