Exam 4 Flashcards
initiator tRNA in prokaryotes
n-formyl-Met-tRNA^Met. only prokaryote is formylated
what part of prokaryotic ribosome binds to S/D
3’ end of 16s RNA
initiation codon is ? and occasionally ? in prokaryotes
AUG.. GUG
adds formyl group to initiator tRNA
formyl transferase
three prokarotic initiation factors
IF1, IF2 and IF3
IF-1
bonds 30s, prevents tRNA binding A site
IF-2
binds fMet-tRNA and delivers to P site. interacts with IF-1-30s. forms GTP dependent ternary complex
IF-3
binds to E site on 30s. prevents 50s joining in absence of mRNA. Aligns mRNA on 30s. Assists IF-2 placement
prokaryote: initiation. 3 steps
30S preparation > ternary complex/mRNA joining > 50s joining
prokaryote 30S prep details
30S and 50S dissociate. IF 1 and 3 binds 30S at the A and E site. IF-3 prevents 50S joining.
prokaryote ternary complex/mRNA joining detail
IF-2 binds fMET-tRNA and GTP to form ternary complex. ternary complex and mRNA bind to 30S-IF1-IF3. IF-2 delivers fMET-tRNA. S/D aligns 16S (of 30S)
prokaryote 50S joining detail
GTP hydrolyzed on 50S joining. IF’s dissociate. 70S initiation complex is formed
prokaryote elongation factors
EF-Tu, EF-Ts, EF-G
prokaryote EF-Tu
GTP dependent ternary complex with tRNA. delivers tRNA to 70s A site. GTP hydrolysis and release.
prokaryote EF-Ts
GTP exchange for GDP on EF-Tu
prokaryote EF-G
ribosome translocation. Uses GTP hydrolysis
Steps in prokaryote elongation
EF-Tu-GTP delivers charged tRNAs > peptide formed > EF-G promotes ribosome translocation > GTP exchange
prokaryote charged tRNA delivery detail
ternary complex EF-Tu-GTP-tRNA delivers tRNA to A site. GTP hydrolyzed. GDP remains bound to be recycled.
slow step in elongation
accomodation, positioning tRNAs in P and A sites for bond formation
prokaryote peptide bond form detail
A2451 catalyzes A site AA nucleophilic attack of P site
prokaryote ribosome translocation detail
EF-G-GTP wedges into A site via interaction with 50s. triggers GTP hydrolysis. 30S ratchets relative to 50S. 70S ribosome moves 1 codon. EF-G, GDP, and Pi released
EF-G structure mimics ___
EF-Tu + tRNA
rank prokaryote replication, transcription and translation rates
replication»_space;» transcription = translation
prokaryote GTP exchange detail
EF-Ts binds EF-Tu displacing GDP. GTP binds complex to displace EF-TS to form EF-Tu-GTP. EF-Tu-GTP binds new tRNA
prokaryote RF-1
binds to A site with UAA or UAG codon
prokaryote RF-2
binds to A site with UAA or UGA
prokaryote RF-3
disociation of RF 1 and 2 from ribosome
prokaryote RRF
dissociates mRNA and tRNA
four prokaryote release factors
RF-1, RF-2, RF-3, RRF
what is unique about RRF
looks like tRNA but binds orthogonally across A site
eukaryotic initiation factors
eIF1-6
eIF1 and 1A
stabilize 43S and 48S
eIF2 and 2B
met-tRNA binding to 40S, GTP dependent ternary. GTP exchange by 2B
eIF3
promotes 40s binding to ternary and mRNA
eIF4
multisubunit A-G + PABP. RNA helicase, binds mRNA cap and tail
eIF5 and 5B
stimulates eIF2 GTPase, release initiation factors. joins 60S to 48S
eIF6
binds 60S to dissociate 40S
Overall eukaryote initiation steps
40/60S dissociation > 40S activation > recruit mRNA > join complexes > scan > AUG recognitio > factor release > 60S joining > eIF2 recycling
