Translation initiation uses

1 GTP

the ribosome is assembled around the mRNA with the loss of

1 GTP; IF2

What are the two types of Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and their differences?

1. Class I synthetases have to Rossmann fold used to bind ATP; Class II have different ones 2. Class I synthetases must recognize their anti-codon while Class II synthesis do not need that 3. Class I synthetases aminoacylate the 2'OH group while the Class II aminoacylate the 3'OH group. In the end, transesterificaiton leads to 3'OH amino acylation 4. Class I synthetases tends to work for larger and hydrophobic amino acids

What are the loops of tRNA structure?

1. D loop: dihydrouridine 2. T loop: pseudouridine 3. Anticodon loop 4. Variant loop

Decoding steps

1. EFTu, GTP and aminoacyl tRNA forms a complex and is docks at the A site. 2. The complex is loaded onto the A site with the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP and the release of EFTu-GDP complex

In translation: 3 factors were used altogether,

1. EFTu- recognition 2. EF-Ts- exchange factor 3. EFG-release of uncharged tRNA from P-site

How is EFtu-GDP complex recycled?

1. GDP is replaced by EFTS 2. EFTS is replaced by GTP. so EFTu-GTP forms again for next decoding

Translation initiation in prokaryotes

1. IF3 binds to 30S leading to the dissociation of 30S/50S complex 2. IF2, GTP, fmettRNA, mRNA forms a ternary complex, with IF-1 joining and binding of 30S with IF3 to the shine Dalgarno sequence forms the 30S initiation complex 3. IF 3 and IF 1 leaves, this allows for the 50S to bind. the binding of 50S triggers GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by IF2, leading to 30S to change its conformation. So, IF2, GDP and Pi leaves, formations of 70S initiation complex

translation

1. Post-translocational state: E and P sites are occupied. The binding of EFTu-GTP leads to the release of the E site tRNA. At the same time, the A site tRNA enters by base paring. The acceptor stem stay out of the 50S site because of the EF-Tu binding 2. GTP hydrolysis of EFTU binding leads to the release of EFTU and the entry of the acceptor stem of tRNA to the 50S A site. 3. Transpeptidation reaction: there peptide is transferred from the P site to the A site catalyzed by 50S by desolventing and proximity (A2486 and 2'OH of ribose) 4. pre-translocational state: the peptide translocates from the A site to the P site on 50S because they have affinity for the E site on 50S while the codon-anticodon interactions on 30S remains the same 5. EFG binding and hydrolysis of GTP drive the translocation-- movement of both tRNA and mRNA by exactly 3 nucleotides 6. Translocation process is spontaneous, however with the help from EFG and GTP hydrolysis, the process is much faster

What are the 3 modifications of the primary transcript of tRNA?

Simple steps for translation initiation

1. dissociation of 30S/50S 2. formation of 30S initiation complex 3. formation of 70S initiation complex

What are the two steps of amino acid recogniztion?

1. first and inaccurate synthetic step (charging) 2. eliminates misactivated non-cognate amino acids

What are the two steps of proofreading of tRNA syntheses?

1. hydrolyze the adenylate (AMP) before it goes on to tRNA (activated amino acid) 2. hydrolyze the tRNA-amino acid ( the charged tRNA)

Decoding proofreading is a two step process

1. recognition at codon/anticodon position 2. aminoacyl tRNA fully moves into the A site after the hydrolysis of GTP by EFTU This means GTP hydrolysis is going to be much faster when it is in the correct tRNA mRNA pair than if it is the incorrect pair; or GTP hydrolysis is faster for cognate tRNA== Kinetic proofreading

What is the function of ribosome?

1. recognize mRNA and tRNA (30S) 2. catalyze peptide bond formation (50S) 3. ribosome undergoes movement so that it can translate sequential codons

How did they figure out the actual code?

1. synthesis of oligonucleotide: pulled down radio labled AA, modified tRNA by binding to nitrocellulose bound ribosome and then figured out which mRNA corresponds to Amino acid 2. cell free translation system: used just mRNA, ribosomal components and tRNA prove that all you need to code was mRNA and don't need the original DNA

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases

1. the amino acid reacts with ATP to form aminoacyl-AMP or aminoacyl-adenylate The subsequent hydrolysis of pip makes this reaction irreversible 2. The amino acid, which has been activated by its adenylation, reacts with tRNA and forms aminoacyl-tRNA ( charged)

Translation Termination

1. when the ribosome moves to the stop codon, the release factor RF1 or RF2 binds to the A site and triggers the hydrolysis of the peptide (H2O is nucleophile) from the tRNA at the P site 2. The binding of GTP-RF3 and the subsequent hydrolysis leads to the release of RF1/2 from the active site 3. RF3-GDP leaves 4. The binding of EFG-GTP and Ribosomal Release factor: RRF 5. Hydrolysis of GTP by EFG drives RRF to the P site and the release of tRNA from P and E sites 6. Finally, the RRF, mRNA, EFG are released from the 70S, which is inactive again and needs to be reinitiated again

What removed the extra 5' nucleotide on tRNA?

Rnase P

Ribosome helping the correct recognition between codon and anticodon

The orientation of A1492, A1493, and G530: when the correct basepair is formed, the Adenines are flipped in and the ribosome kind of clamps down on it and helps with the recognition. It clamps down and help form the competent complex

Kinetic proofreading

if I put the wrong tRNA in, GTP hydrolysis is slow and lets the tRNA to have a change to move out and the correct one to move in. This is a lag that allows the correct tRNA to pair. this is proofreading by slowing down the incorrect process and speeding up the correct process

What does IF3 do?

it prevents binding of tRNA other than N-formyl-met-tRNA

In order to make a protein, how much energy is needed?

it takes a lot of ATP to make a protein-- in fact-- 30% to 50% of energy consumption in a growing cell forms peptide bonds at rate greater or equal to 10S-1

For Class I synthetase, it initially acylate the 2'OH first but

it will eventually migrate to the 3'OH position because thats the most thermodynamic stable

What is the catalytic unit of Rnase P?

the RNA is the catalytic unit

polysome

the association of multiple ribosomes with mRNA leads to the formation of the structure called poly ribosome or polysome

Peptide bond formation

the peptide is transferred from the p site tRNA to the amino acid on the A site tRNA. Your chain is now in the A site. So, then the peptide tRNA is then translocated from the A site to the P site

Translation energy:

there is 10 "ATP equivalents" per amino acid residue 30-50% goes to protein synthesis

Why is rate enhancement form not acid/ base catalysis?

this is because the pKa of N3 of A2486 is 3.5 and is not good enough to deprotonant the amino group (pKa=10) (needs to be within 2-3 pH units, like around pH 7) Rate enhancement comes around proximity and desolventing

weak and allows for wobble position

How does A 1492, A 1493, and G530 of the 30S subunit help?

when the EFtu comes in , you are going to have the correct competent recognition and thats going to help to get the correct conformation for the hydrolysis of EFTu

The third position is the

wobble position. It can vary but still give the same amino acid

is the translocation process spontaneous?

yes, it will happen no matter what but with the help from EFG and GTP hydrolysis, the process is much faster

DO you have enough tRNA for all of those codons?

you don't always have the same number of tRNAs available for each of the different codons. Some codons are used more rarely than others, which leads to slight pauses in translation( good for proofreading)
