Functions and Dysfunctions of protein processing Flashcards
component of Prokaryotic ribosome?
70S large subunit & 30S small subunit
50S
component of Eukaryotic ribosome?
60S large subunit & 40S subunit
80 S total
Three component of ribosomes?
Acceptor (A site)
Peptidyl (P Site)- Aminoacyl tRNA’s attach and add AA here
Empty (Exit Site)
What are Aminoacyl tRNAs? where do they attach to AA?
Complex of tRNA w/ AA
AA esterified to CCA terminal region at 3’ end of tRNA
CCA terminal region binds AAs that match corresponding codon
what is used to activate AA?
Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, each AA has own
Charged with correct AA to maintain fidelity of protein synthesis
Two steps in AA activation?
Aminoacyl tRNA synTHETASE catalyzes addition of AMP to COOH end of AA
AA transferred to cognate tRNA
Three steps of AA synthesis?
Initiation
Elongation
Termination
Steps in initiation of translation?
In Eukaryotes initiation occurs in the Kozak sequence and an ATP-dependent mRNA scan
- First AA (MET) binds to P site on small ribosomal subunit, eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF2) binds to GTP
- mRNA slides across small subunit until AUG is found
- eIF2 and other initiation factors dissociate
- Large ribosomal subunit binds
- As ribosome complex slides across mRNA, the next Aminoacyl tRNA is recruited
Steps in elongation of translation?
Activated AA attached to initiating MET by
forming a peptide bond
- Loading of an Aminoacyl tRNA onto the ribosomes such that the anticodon bases pairs with codon positioned on “A Site”
- Prior to loading, the Aminoacyl tRNA is attached to a GTP-bound elongation factor
- Loading accompanied by GTP hydrolysis and release of factor from Aminoacyl tRNA
Steps in elongation of termination?
- Termination triggered by stop codons
- Stop codons are recognized by release factors (RFs)
- RFs bind to “A” ste and cleaves the ester bond between C terminus of polypeptide of tRNA
- GTP hydrolysis dissociates ribosomal complex
Streptomycin, what does it do?
binds to 30S subunit to disrupt initiation of translation
in prokaryotes
Clindamycin & Erythromycin, what do they do?
bind to 50S subunit to disrupt translocation of ribosome
in prokaryotes
Shiga Toxin & Ricin
binds to 60S subunit to disrupt elongation in eukaryotes
Diphtheria toxin
inactivates EF2-GTP and inhibits elongation
Tetracyclines?
bind to the 30S subunit to disrupt elongation
Blocks aminoacyl-tRNA to ribosomal complex
Puromycin?
causes premature chain termination in both prok/euks
Forms a puromyclated chain at 3’ end of aminoacylated-tRNAs which leads to premature chain release
Chloramphenicol
inhibits peptidyl transferase in prokaryotes
Cycloheximide
inhibits peptidyl transferase in eukaryotes
Sickle cell anemia, what does it do?
Change in 6th codon of GAG to GTG changing VAL(hydrophobic/ mutant) from GLU(negatively charged and hydrophilic/ wild type)
Deformed RBC have poor oxygen capacity and clog capillaries, restricting blood flow
missense
