lesson 12 Flashcards
central dogma
- DNA
Transcription (RNA synthesis) - RNA
Translation (protein synthesis) - Protein
eukaryotic transcription
occurs in the nucleus
three different RNA polymerases
-RNA polymerase ll trancribes mRNA
promoter position and sequence differs from prokaryotes
a series of transcription factors recrui and activate RNA pol 2
termination sites ar enot well defines
primary transcripts are processed to produce mature mRNA
translation
process of protien synthesis(converts RNA sequence into polypeptide sequence)
basics same in prokaryotes and ukaryotes
initiation: recognition of translation start site (p
- small subunit binds RBS on mRNA to determine translation start site
- initator tRNA N formyl met bonds to start codon in the p site
- large subunit binds
- a site open to accept next trna-aa
- switch to elongation
initation: reconition of translation start (eukaroytes
- small subunit binds RBS on mRNA to determine translation start site
- initiator tRNA N formyl met bonds to start codon in the p site
- large subunit binds
- a site open to accept next trna-aa
- switch to elongation
termination of translation
elongation continues until stop codon (UAA, AG, UGA) is reached
triggers realse of a new polypeptide from P-site tRNA
