Lecture 34 Flashcards
what is the universal start codon
AUG - methionine
3 stop codons
UAA, UAG, UGA
how many codons are there
61
how many tRNAs are there
32
position 1 of anticodon dictates what
number of codons the tRNA can bind
how many codons for A or C
1
how many codons for U or G
2
how many codons for inosinate
3
wobble hypothesis
position 34 inosine may base pair with uridine, cytidine, adenosine
what must happen to tRNA
must be activated
tRNA activation catalyzed by
aminoacyl-tRNA synthtases
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases require what
2 ATP
initiation of translation in bacteria requires what
30s subunit, mRNA, initiating fMet-tRNA, 3 initiation facts, GTP, 50S SU, Mg2+
region of mRNA that guides the initiating AUG to its correct position
Shine Dalgarno sequence
is shine dalgarno up or downstream from AUG
upstream
inserts N-formyl-methionine at the amino terminal end
fMet-tRNA
