Q

What are 2 possibilities that allows genetic code to be degenerate?

Q

aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase

A

is a dual check mechanism that couples correct amino acid to cognate tRNA, where tRNA acts like activated carrier to shuttle activated amino acid

Q

How does aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase assure correct amino acid pairing?

A

synthetase assesses nucleotide sequences of 1) anticodon, 2) amino acid acceptor arm, and 3) several other positions of tRNA

Q

EF-Tu proofreading mechanisms for improving translation fidelity?

A

1) tight codon-anticodon pairing

2) delay of peptidyl-residue transfer

18
Q

Ef-Tu: tight codon-anticodon pairing

A

16S rRNA triggers conformational change in ribosome, EF-TU catalyzes GTP hydrolysis and dissociates from amino acyl group of tRNA

19
Q

eF-tu: peptidyl-residue transfer delay

A

weakly bound tRNA in A site, will cause tRNA to dissociate before peptidyl residue can be transferred

20
Q

EF-G

A

move ribosome forward

21
Q

How do biological processes overcome limitations to complementary base-pairing?

A

induced fit, kinetic proofreading and the sequential se of both mechanisms

22
Q

Why is translation initiation important?

A

determines reading frame and translation frequency

23
Q

Translation initiation mechanism

A

1) MtRNA + eIFs bind to small rSU in P site
2) Small rSU binds to 5’ cap with bound eIF4 E + G
3) Small rSU searches for first (5’ located) AUG eIFs drives this movement via ATP hydrolysis)
4) Encounter of start codon releases eIFs and
large rSU binds

24
Q

Bacterial translation initiation is mediated by?

A

Shine-Dalgarno sequence (AGGAGGU)

25
Shine-dalgarno
initiates bacterial translation: functions as ribosome binding site through base pairing, replaces function of 5' cap of eukaryotic mRNA, enables polycistronic mRNAs
26
translation termination mechanism
-Release factors bind to stop codon - peptidyl transferase add water to growing peptide chain to release peptide from a site -ribosome disassembles
27
How is translation efficiency boosted?
polysomes (5'cap-poly A interaction allows efficient recycling of ribosomes)
28
What triggers mRNA degradation?
abnormal splicing causes ribosome to stall at stop codon in the presence of EJC
29
Co-translational protein folding
1) growing polypetide chain 2) folded N-terminal 3) folding CTD 4) folding of protein is complete after ribosomal release
30
Two types of heat shock proteins
HSP70 | -HSP60 (chaperonin)
31
HSP70 bind to?
- bind to nascent peptide chain from ribosome - hydrophobic patches - bind tightly after ATP hydrolysis and dissociate after ATP rebinding
32
HSP60
form a barrel that acts like an isolation chamber, where the opening contains hydrophobic patches where misfolded proteins can be recognized
33
E3 ligase
recognizes unfolded proteins and marks them for degradation
34
proteosomes
degrade proteins into small peptides (nucleus and cytosol)
35
Proteosomes recognize?
substrates fused to L48 linked ubiquitin chain
36
Proteosome cap
unfoldase that unfolds proteins and threads them into proteasome
37
unfoldase
hexameric AAA protein sharing structural homology to helicases and dynein
38
Regulated destruction: What does it control and how can it be induced?
proteins - activation of ubiquitin ligase - activation of degradation signal
39
activation of ubiquitin ligase
1- protein kinase phosphorylates protein 2- allosteric transition caused by ligand binding 3- allosteric transition caused by adding protein subunit
40
activation of degradation signal
1-phosphorylation by protein kinase 2- unmasking by protein dissociation 3- destabilizing N-terminus
41
Where are small and large ribosomal subunits made?
nucleolus
