PROTEIN SYNTHESIS PART 2 TRANSLATION
2
Translation Translation is the process of decoding the mRNA into a protein. Ribosomes read mRNA three bases or 1 codon at a time and construct the proteins This process could not occur without another type of RNA called tRNA (transfer RNA)
3
Transfer RNA (tRNA) Has a clover-leaf shape
Picks up the appropriate amino acid floating in the cytoplasm Transports amino acids to the mRNA Recognizes the appropriate codons on the mRNA and bonds to them. Have anticodons that are complementary to mRNA codons amino acid attachment site U A C anticodon methionine
4
Codons and Anticodons AUG|CGU|ACU|GAU|CGU|UCA|GAU|UGA
Each 3-letter codon in the mRNA has an anticodon on the tRNA that will match it. Below shows a series of codons. Fill in what the anticodons would look like below. AUG|CGU|ACU|GAU|CGU|UCA|GAU|UGA UAC GCA UGA CUA GCA AGU CUA ACU
5
Ribosomes P Site A Made of a large and small subunit
Composed of globular-shaped rRNA (40%) and proteins (60%) Have two sites for tRNA attachment --- P and A P Site A Small subunit mRNA U G C Large subunit 5
6
Step 1 Initiation P Site A
mRNA transcript start codon AUG attaches to the small ribosomal subunit Small subunit attaches to large ribosomal subunit Large subunit P Site A Small subunit mRNA U G C mRNA transcript
7
Step 1 Initiation
8
Step 2 Elongation As ribosome moves, two tRNA with their amino acids move into site A and P of the ribosome Peptide bonds join the amino acids
