Q

How many transcription factors help ribosome assemble correctly ?

A

Three initiation factors help ribosome assemble correctly ,guanine triphosphate act as an energy source
and special initiator tRNA carrying N-formyl methionine .

Q

What does the initiation tRNA interacts ?

A

The start codon AUG of the mRNA and carries a formylated methionine .Because of this involvement in initiation , F met is inserted at the beginning (N-terminus) for every polypeptide chain synthesised by E.coli.

Q

How is this processed in terms of mRNA in E.coli?

A

In E.coli mRNA a leader sequence upstream of the first AUG codon called shin dalgarno sequence known as ribosomes binding site ineteratcing compleyeaur base [airing with rRNNA molecule .

Q

Difference between Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes? In terms of Translation

A

Initiator tRNA is different speacilised tRNA carrying methionine
Binding to the mRNA at the shine dalgaryc sequence the eukaryotes initiation complex recognizes the 5 cap of the eukaryotes mRNA and then processed in the 5 - 3 direction until the AUG statrt codon .

Q

What occurs during Termination ?

A

When a non -sense codon UAA/UAG/UGA encounter for which there is no complementary tRNA .

At A site , non sense codon recognised by realse factor in pro or eukaryotes results in P site amino acid detach from tRNA releasing the newly made polypeptide .

Small /Large ribosomeal subunits disscoaite from mRNA /each other immediately translation begins

Q

Why is the Shine Dalgamo Sequence ? Present in PRO not EUK

A

Because of the recruitment of ribosome at the 5 cap a the end of the mRNA due to the absence of shine Dalagmo Sequence

Q

What is Shine Dalgarno Sequence ?

A

Is a ribosomal binding site in the bacterial /archaeal messenger RNA

The RNA sequence helps recruit the ribosome to the messenger RNA (mRNA) to initiate protein synthesis by aligning the ribosome with the start codon.
