stop codon

A

UAA, UAG, UGA

17
Q

A continuous supply of the 20 types of amino acids must be delivered to the ribosome during what?

A

Translation

18
Q

Translation

A

*Transfer RNA (tRNAs) deliver the 20 types of amino acids
*each type of amino acid is delivered by one or more tRNAs

19
Q

The Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases

A

are the enzymes that attach the proper
amino acid to the proper transfer RNA

20
Q

20 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzymes

A

that attach the 20 types of amino acids to the correct tRNA(s)

21
Q

the initiation phase

A

assemble, aligns, and activates all the component required for the ribosome to begin translation at the start codon

22
Q

small ribosomal subunit binds to the?

A

5’ G-Cap

23
Q

tRNA that recognizes the start codon binds to

A

start codon

24
Q

large ribosomal subunit binds to form the

A

translation initiation complex that is positioned to begin translation at the start codon

25
the energy-rich GTP molecule provides
the required to form the translation initiation complex
26
the initiation factors help
assemble and align the tRNA, small subunit, and large ribosomal subunit at the start codon to form the translation initiation complex.
27
one initiation factor?
a helicase enzyme that Unwinds The Knotted mRNA Into A Linear Form That The Ribosome Can Translate
28
Each tRNA Contains?
The Anti-Codon That Recognizes The Corresponding Codon In mRNA (Transcript)
29
The Anti-Codon Sequence Of Each tRNA Is Complementary To The?
Nucleotide Sequence Of Its Corresponding Codon In mRNA
30
The Interaction Between The Codon & Anti-Codon Follows
The Rules Of Complementary Base Pairing
31
Transfer RNA That Delivers
Isoleucine To The Ribosome
32
The Elongation Cycle Consists Of A Precise Sequence Of Events That Link
The Amino Acids Together In The Correct Order
33
The Elongation Cycle
* Ribosomes Read The Linear Sequence Of Codons In mRNA The Elongation Factors - * -Ensure The Correct tRNA Enters The Ribosome. * - Reposition The Ribosome So It Can Read The Next Codon In mRNA. * The Large Ribosomal Subunit Contains The Enzyme That Joins Amino Acids Together (~3-10 Reactions Per Second) * GTP Supplies The Energy
34
Peptidyl Transferase
Is The Enzyme (Ribozyme) That Links The Amino Acids Together During The Elongation Cycle In Prokaryotes, Peptidyl Transferase Is The 23 S rRNA In The 50 S Ribosomal Subunit In Eukaryotes, Peptidyl Transferase Is The 28 S rRNA In The 60 S Ribosomal Subunit
35
The Termination Phase Occurs When The Release Factor Enters The Ribosome & Interacts With The Stop Codon
Ribosome Contacts The Stop Codon  Release Factor Interacts With The Stop Codon  Proteins & Ribosomal Subunits Released  GTP Supplies The Energy To Disassemble The Translation Complex
36
Proteins Made By The Ribosomes Must Be Delivered To The
Cellular Site Or Extracellular Location Where Their Function Is Required
37
Proteins Contain One Or More Amino Acid Sequences, Called
Signal Sequences (“Zip Codes”), That Direct Each Protein To Its Required Location * There Is A Specific Signal Sequence For Each Organelle * Defective Protein Sorting (Delivery) Causes Some Medical Problems
38
The Signal Peptide
Is The Signal Sequence Of The Membrane & Secretory Proteins
39
Antibiotics Destroy Bacteria Or Prevent Reproduction
Some Antibiotics Inhibit Bacterial 70 S Ribosomes To Eliminate Protein Synthesis * These Antibiotics Do Not Inhibit Your 80 S Human Ribosomes
