Translation

process of protein synthesis from an RNA template

Codon

3 bases

Start codon in mRNA

AUG (methionine)

Reading direction

5' to 3'

Stop codons

UAA - you are away


UAG - you are gone


UGA - you go away



insertion or deletion of nucleotide

Can result in frameshift mutation

where do Modifications take place?

Everywhere in eukaryotas

codon - anticodon interaction

Flexible than most base pairing

Wobble

third position in the codon can change without changing the AA in some cases




allows one tRNA to translate more than one codon

codon - anticodon pairing

anticodon


(3') 3-2-1(wobble) (5')


----------


(5') 1-2-3(wobble) (3')


Codon





Saber leer genetic code

Types of Mutations

1. point mutation


2. silent mutation


3. Missense mutation


4. Non sense mutation


5. Insertion (frameshift)


6. Deletion (frameshift)

point mutation

changing single nucleotide base

silent mutation

Change that specifies the same AA

Missense mutation





Change that specifies a different AA

Non sense mutation

Change that produces a Stop codon

Insertion (frameshift)

Addition of 1 or more bases

Deletion (frameshift)

Loss of 1 or more bases

Components required for protein synthesis

1. AA


2. tRNA


3. Ribosomes


4. mRNA


5. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase

Catalyses the attachment of AA with its corresponding tRNA forming aminoacyl tRNA




there are 20 synthetases - 1 for each AA


-some have proofreading activity (there recognized and correct)

tRNA function

form a covalent bond with a particular AA




base pairing with a codon in mRNA





tRNA nucleotidyltransferase

an RNA polymerase that adds CCA sequence to the 3' of humans. It can synthesize a sequence with a template.

rRNA

Most abundant and stable RNA's




Are proccessed in the nucleolus

Ribosome

Subcellular ribonucleoprotein complex on which protein synthesis occurs

Cytoplasmic ribosomes in eukaryotic have 4 types of rRNA molecules

60S --- 5S + 5.8S +28S


40S --- 18S


___________




80S

Prokaryotic ribosomes have 3 rRNA molecules

50S --- 5S + 23S


30S --- 16S


________




70S




*mitochondrial are similar

28S rRNA eukaryotes

only one with enzymatic activity : peptidyltransferase activity

Aminoacyl tRNA formation

in the cytosol (not in the ribosome)

Translation Initiation complex

1. 40S and 60S units
2. mRNA
3. initiation factors (elFs)
4. Methionyl-tRNA (only tRNA recognized by the initiation factor elF-2
5. ATP and GTP
6. Kozak consensus sequence

1. 40S and 60S units


2. mRNA


3. initiation factors (elFs)


4. Methionyl-tRNA (only tRNA recognized by the initiation factor elF-2


5. ATP and GTP


6. Kozak consensus sequence

Reading direction of translation

5' to 3'

Initiation in Prokaryotes


Elongation sites

E - exit


P - peptidol tRNA (formation of peptide bond)


A - entry site (Aminoacyl- tRNA)

Elongation

only use GTP not ATP

A site in Elongation

GTP is hydrolized to GDP




the binding comprises the second error checking

Peptidyltransferase

catalyze the peptide bond between A and P site

GTP used in translation

Initiation: 1 GTP


Elongation: **


Termination: 1GTP

ATP used in translation

only in initiation

polysome

complez of ribosomes that translate at the same time

chaperones

Prevent improper interactions from occurring in the poly peptide chain

targeting sequences or signal sequences

Amino acid sequences that determine where the proteins will be released

Synthesis of protein in the RER



Golgi complex

***

Tetracycline

Binds to the 30S subunit and inhibits binding ofaminoacyl-tRNA to the A site

Cyclohexamide

Inhibits the peptidyltransferase activity of the60S ribosomal subunit (eukaryotes)

Chloramphenicol

Binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit andinhibits peptidyltransferase

Erythromycin

Binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit and preventstranslocation

Puromycin

Causes premature chain termination by acting as aanalog of aminoacyl-tRNA (both)

Streptomycin

Binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit ofprokaryotes, thereby preventing formation of the initiationcomplex. It also causes misreading of mRNA

Diphtheria Pertusis Toxin

Secretes the A fragment (toxin) a ADP ribosyl transferase




eEF-2 is inhibited - thus protein synthesis stops




inactivation results in cell death




Vaccination will prevent it

Tay-Sachs Disease

Ganglioside (Gm2) accumulates
because B-hexosaminidase (in lysosome) cannot catalyze Gm2 to Gm3.




Mutation in gene encoding lysosomal enzyme




this mutation lost of lysosomal function and death at an early age





I cell Disease

inherited lysosomal storage disorder




Mutation post translational


-mistargeting of enzymes to lysosomes




In GNTPA gene




coarse facil features, skeletal abnormalities and mental retardation
