Lec 18 Translation & Protein Transport Flashcards
Where does translation take place
in cytosol
what is a codon
3 nucleotide sequence in mRNA that is translated into an amino acid
What is redundant genetic code
more than one codon encodes most amino acid
what is the start codon
AUG
what are the three stop codons
UAA
UAG
UGA
How many reading frames does mRNA have
has 3 reading frames
what are ribosomes made of
proteins and rRNA
what do ribosomes consist of (two subunits)
large subunit: 49 proteins + 3 rRNA
small subunit: 33 proteins + 1 rRNA
what is anticodon in tRNA
3 nucleotide sequence on tRNA complementary to codon in mRNA
what do tRNA carry?
amino acid
in tRNA what are amino acids attached to?
amino acids are attached to the OH group of the 3’ end of tRNA which responds to anticodon
what is aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase
enzymes attach specific amino acid to corresponding tRNA
What are the three translations process
1) initiation
2) elongation
3) termination
explain initiation in translation
small subunit of ribosome loaded with met-tRNA and initiation factors which is initiation complex
initiation complex binds to the 5’ cap of mRNA
initiation complex searching for the first AUG codon
large subunit binds
explain elongation in translation
new aminoacyl-tRNA binds to A site
peptide bond forms by peptidyl transferase enzyme
large subunit translocate
small subunit translocate
empty tRNA leaves the ribosome
explain termination in translation
the A site meet a stop codon
release factor binds to A site
dissociation of the translation machinery
Antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis
explain how tetracycline works
blocks binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to A site
Antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis
explain how cycloheximide works
blocks translocation of ribosome
what is protein transport
the synthesis of virtually all proteins in the cell begins on ribosomes in the cytosol
what is signal sequence in protein transport
the fate of any protein synthesized in the cytosol depends on the signal sequence within its amino acid sequence
Transport by Vesicles
explain exocytosis
ER-> Golgi-> transport vesicle-> cell surface
Transport by vesicles
explain lysosome pathway
ER-> Golgi->endosome-> lysosome
transport by vesicles
explain endocytosis
cell surface-> endosome-> lysosome
Which transport by vesicles use COP-coated and clathrin-coated vesicles
