25
formation of quaternary complex
IF1 and IF3 dissociate. IF2 hydrolyzes GTP to drive release which allows 50S to bind
26
EPA sites
E: uncharged site. P: peptidyl site. A: aminoacyl site
27
elongation cycle
aninoacyl-tRNA binding > peptide bond formation > GTP hyrolysis by EF-G drives translocation > tRNA dissociation
28
aminoacyl-tRNAs are delivered to A site by ?
elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) complexed with GTP
29
EF-Tu*GDP is recharged with GTP by ?
guanine nucleotide exchange factor of EF-Ts
30
peptidyl transferase reaction is catalyzed by ?
rRNA in 50S subunit
31
modification of a charged tRNA leads to ?. This is used in vitro to synthesize proteins containing ?
incorrect incorporation. unnatural amino acids
32
wobble position
5' end (first base) of anticodon and 3' end (third base) of codon are less discriminating
33
Inosine in first base of anticodon can bind with ? on third base of codon
U, C, A
34
yeast ala-tRNA contains ? in the anticodon
inosine
35
how does the ribosome read the first two codns so accurately?
rRNA makes specific contacts on the minor groove of the codon-anticodon helix
36
termination of translation
protein release factors that mimic tRNAs recognize and bind stop codons to release peptide from complex
37

IF-2, EF-Tu, EF-G, RF-3
44
Polysomes
on average about 10 ribosomes are attached to each mRNA
45

circularized mRNAs that encode for only one protein. found only in eucaryotes
46
30S and 50S ribosome subunits combine to form a ? subunit in procaryotes
70S
47
40S and 60S ribosome subunits combine to form a ? subunit in eucaryotes

49
in eucaryote initiation, ternary complex binds to ? complex to from ? complex

55
PolyA tail is recognized by ?
pabp1
56
eIF-4E and pabp1 both bind to ?
eIF-4G
57
? proteins recognize both ends of mRNA to circularize, protect, and compact
eIF-4 group
58
some eIF-4 group proteins and S6 are activated by ?
phosphorylation
59
phosphorylated eIF-2 binds so tightly to eIF-sB that ?
guanine nucleotide exchange is blocked and translation cannot initiate

internal ribosome entry sites. able to translate without 5'caps and 3' tails. Includes polio virus and eIF-4G
61
why is termination simpler in eucaryotes
only one release factor that hydrolyzes GTP at stop codon
62
proteins are synthesized as precursors with ? sequence that is subsequently removed. Purpose?
N-terminal. Tags to send to correct place in cell.
63
SRP
signal recognition particle. binds weakly to all ribosomes but tightly to ribosomes translating signal peptides. stops translation by blocking elongation factor binding site. targets ribosome to ER where SRP interacts with SRP receptor. SRP and receptor hydrolyze GTP and dissociate.

inhibit translation initiation and cause misreading of mRNA
65
