Q

Steps in initiation of translation?

A

In Eukaryotes initiation occurs in the Kozak sequence and an ATP-dependent mRNA scan

  1. First AA (MET) binds to P site on small ribosomal subunit, eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF2) binds to GTP
  2. mRNA slides across small subunit until AUG is found
  3. eIF2 and other initiation factors dissociate
  4. Large ribosomal subunit binds
  5. As ribosome complex slides across mRNA, the next Aminoacyl tRNA is recruited

Q

Steps in elongation of translation?

A

Activated AA attached to initiating MET by
forming a peptide bond

  1. Loading of an Aminoacyl tRNA onto the ribosomes such that the anticodon bases pairs with codon positioned on “A Site”
  2. Prior to loading, the Aminoacyl tRNA is attached to a GTP-bound elongation factor
  3. Loading accompanied by GTP hydrolysis and release of factor from Aminoacyl tRNA

Q

Steps in elongation of termination?

A
  1. Termination triggered by stop codons
  2. Stop codons are recognized by release factors (RFs)
  3. RFs bind to “A” ste and cleaves the ester bond between C terminus of polypeptide of tRNA
  4. GTP hydrolysis dissociates ribosomal complex

Q

Duchenne muscular dystrophy, what is it do?

A

Large out-of-frame deletion that causes a non-functioning dystrophin gene

In-frame deletion results in expression of truncated forms of dystrophin

21
Q

What are the two protein sorting pathways?

A

Cytoplasmic

Secretory

22
Q

Where do proteins in te cytoplasmic sorting pathway go?

A

have no translocation signals

cytosol, mitochondria, nucleus, and peroxisomes

23
Q

How does translation in the cytoplasmic pathway work?

A

Translation begins and ends on free ribosomes

24
Q

N terminal hydrophobic A-helix signal ? where does it go?

A

peptide goes to mitochondria

25
Q

LYS, ARG rich , where does it go?

A

nucleus

26
Q

-SKL, where does it go?

A

peroxisome

27
Q

How do proteins get to the mitochondria?

A

TIM and TOM

28
Q

What are nuclear localization signals?

A

help large molecules go in nucleus

KKKKRK

29
Q

Where do proteins in the secretory pathway go?

A

ER, lysosomes, plasma membrane, or for secretion

30
Q

where does translation in the secretory pathway happen?

A

Translation begins on free ribosomes, but ends on ribosomes sent to ER

31
Q

Whats special about secretory pathway structures?

A

First 20 AA residues of polypeptide has ER targeting signal sequences

15-60 AA at N terminus of protein
1-2 basic AA near N terminus

Followed by Extremely hydrophobic sequence on C terminus of the basic residues

32
Q

How do proteins get into ER lumen

A

Signal recognition particle (SRP) binds to ER-targeting signal and ribosome during translation

Wraps itself around ribosome-mRNA-peptide complex, tethering it to ER membrane halting translation temporarily

Resumes when protein directed into ER lumen trough translocator

Enzymes on luminal side cleave the signal to release the protein

Protein undergoes post-translational modification in ER and/or golgi

A

ER lumen proteins
