Q

What happens to initaitior tRNA?

A

when AUg is found, inititation factors dissocaite and large subunit binds. As a result, the initaitor tRNA is bound to the P site and the A site is open for an incoming ternary cmplex (amino acyl tRNA bound to GTP and eitherr eukaryotic elongation facto 1 (eEF1 ) or EF-Tu (in bacteria)

Q

what percentage of translation beings at AUG?

A

90% o the time

depending on teh neighboring sequence

Some sequenes cause the intiation of tRNA to skip to the 2nd or third AUG some of the time. In this way, cells make two or more varieties of the same protein (with and wihtout N-terminal signal sequence, so some is exported and some reatined inside the cell)

Loading (to A-site) of ternary complex of GTP, aminoactyl-tRNA and either BACETERIAL EF-TU OR EUKARTYOTIC eEF1
33
Describe Peptide Bond Formation
amino group of the aa in teh A-site attacks the C-terminal end of hte peptide in teh P-site to form a new peptide bond

what enzymeatic activyt catalyzes peptide bond foramtion?
peptidyl transferse in large ribosomal subunit

yes
38
Describe the conformational changes in teh ribosome during peptide bond formation>
ribosome ratchets the two subunits into a hybrid state
39
Describe the steps of TRANSLOCATION (step 3)
ribosomes must move the two tRNAs and the message along
40
what are the three events of translocation
1. mRNA advances by exacly one codon (3 nucleotides) with respect to ribosome -> next codoin sits in A site) 2. Deacylated tRNA movesf rom P to E site and the peptidyl-tRNA moves form teh A to P site 3. THe ribosome cofnormation is reset
41
What catalyzes Translocation?
GTP bound to either EF-G (bacterial) or eEF2 (eukaryotic EF2)
42
What gets hydrolyzed during elongation?
both EF-tu (eEF1) an EF-g (eEF2) are both G proteins that each hydrolyze at least 1 GTP to a GDP dduirng each round of elongation
43
What catalyzes loading of amnoactyl-tRNA into A-site?
EF-Tu (eEF1)
44
What ahppens if incorrect aminoactyl-tRNA comes in?
preferentially dissocaites and sometimes hydrolzyes GTP
45
Binding of correct cognate codon-anticodin paring in A site
triggers conformational chanes in teh ribosome which in turen triggers GTP hydorlysis in EF-TU (eEF1) a
46
the EF-Tu: GDP complex (eEF1:GDP) ...
dissociates and the aminoacylt tRNA productivley docks into teh A-site
47
What is the decoding process?
sampling different charged tRNA moleuls untilt eh codon and anticodona re compelelmtary=> then peptide bond is formed
48
What catalyzes translocatoin?
eEF2 or EFG bound to GTP
49
EF-G:GTP (eEF2:GTP) and hydrolysis of GTP
binds to A-site to accelarate the three step process of translocation

UAA and UGA
56
What recognizes all three stop codons in euk?
eRF1 these RFss bind to A site
57
What happens when RFs bind to A site?
one end of RF uses aa to recognize stop codon, to mimic the decoding that occurs int eh codon-anticodon interaction recognition triggers peptride bond hydrolysis at the otehr end of the RF located where the CCA would sit
58
Why is Glutamine in a conserved Gly-Glygln of RFs?
activates a water moleule to hydrolyze the peptidyl -tRNA, thereby rleasing teh compelted protein form teh ribosome
59
what happens after the translated protein is released form teh ribosome?
G protein RF3 (or in euk eRF3) binds and by hydrolying GTP to GDP enables rlease of :RF3 (erF3, RF1 or RF2 (or eRF1) and the deacyl -tRNA (the one sititn gin E site)
60
Wht happens when G rptoein RF3 or eRF3 binds ?
hydrolyzing GTP to GDP --> release of RF3 (erF3) , RF1, R2 (eRF1) and teh deacyl-tRNA
61
what does eIF3 do with termination?
promotes subunit dissociation and release of mRNA and tRNA (tRNA with gorwing polypeptide chain attached to it)
62
in bacteria, what is RRF and EF-G/GTP do for termaintion?
they bind t A site then translocation, aided by GTP hydrolysis releases the two subunits, RRF and EF-G
63
What does IF3 binding to small subunit (in baceteria) lead to
release of tRNA and mRNA
64
What is a polyribosome?
having many ribosomes operating simulatneously on a sngle mRNA
65
what do intiation complexes eIF4E and eIF4G require?
oth 5' cap and poly A tail This ensures that translation will only begin on COMPELTE mRNAs so effort will not be wasted on damaged one
66
what is the energy cost for protein synthesis?
minimum is 4 phosphate equivalents per petpide bond 9at least 2 to add amino adcid to tRNA and at least an additional 2 for each elongation cycle) extra energy is expended in error corretion by the tRNA synthetase and durign ribosome sampling to find correct aminoactyl-tRNA
67
What is nonsense mediated mRNA decay?
most powerful surveillance system in eukaryotes mature mRNA is exported to the cytoplasm with its exon junctions intact (EJCs)
68
what happens when there is correct splicing?
ribosomes begin translation as soon as mature mRNA enters cytoplasm helicase activity of riosome is able to "plow" through EJCs (exon jucntion complexes) upon reachin UAA site termination factors are recruited and nomral terminaton take splace
69
What happens with incorrect splicing
tirgger onsense mediated mRNA decay incorreclty spliced genes retain intron with expected stop codons Translation pauses upon reachin this stop codon --> time to recruit Upf proteins, which in turn triggers mRNA decay
70
what proteinsn are recruited for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay?
Upf proteins
71

25 human proteins, as selenocystein
72
Wha tare iodothyronine deiodinases?

73
what happens with deficienes in selenium
result in cardiomyopathy (Keshan disease) excess intake is also toxic
74
UGA stop codon can be sued to code for the 21st amino acid
selenocystein given the correct mRNA stem-loop structure and extra translation factors
75
how is selenocystein made?
specialized tRNA which recognies UGA stop codon is charged with serine by normal seryl-tRNA synthetatse and the serine is subseqently converted enzymatically to selenocystein. A specific NA structure int eh 3' UTR of mRNA (step and loop structure) signals that selenocystein is to be inserted at an upstream UGA codon
76
How are viral reverset transcripatese and integrase produced?
by proteolytic processing of a large protein (Gag-Pol fusion protein) consisting of botht eht Gag and Pol amino acid seqeunces

78
What is Gag-Pol Fusion protein
with frameshift (10% of ribosmes)
79
what are viral capsid proteins prouced by?
proteolytic processign of the more abundant GAg prteoin gag protein terminates at an in-frame stop codon;
80
how does frameshit occr
frameshift bypasses this stop codon, allowing syntehsis of longer Gag-ol fusion protein frameshift occurs b/c features in the locatl RNA structure (inclduign the RNA loopswhon) occausioally cas the tRNA leu attahed to C-terminus of gorwing polypeptide chain to slip backward by one nucleotide after leucine has been incorproated itno rowing chain
