Dissociation of eIF1 from the 40S ribosomal subunit is a key step in start codon selection in vivo. (1/154)
Selection of the AUG start codon is a key step in translation initiation requiring hydrolysis of GTP in the eIF2*GTP*Met-tRNA(i)(Met) ternary complex (TC) and subsequent P(i) release from eIF2*GDP*P(i). It is thought that eIF1 prevents recognition of non-AUGs by promoting scanning and blocking P(i) release at non-AUG codons. We show that Sui(-) mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae eIF1, which increase initiation at UUG codons, reduce interaction of eIF1 with 40S subunits in vitro and in vivo, and both defects are diminished in cells by overexpressing the mutant proteins. Remarkably, Sui(-) mutation ISQLG(93-97)ASQAA (abbreviated 93-97) accelerates eIF1 dissociation and P(i) release from reconstituted preinitiation complexes (PICs), whereas a hyperaccuracy mutation in eIF1A (that suppresses Sui(-) mutations) decreases the eIF1 off-rate. These findings demonstrate that eIF1 dissociation is a critical step in start codon selection, which is modulated by eIF1A. We also describe Gcd(-) mutations in eIF1 that impair TC loading on 40S subunits or destabilize the multifactor complex containing eIF1, eIF3, eIF5, and TC, showing that eIF1 promotes PIC assembly in vivo beyond its important functions in AUG selection. (+info)Cardiovirus 2A protein associates with 40S but not 80S ribosome subunits during infection. (2/154)
Host translation shutoff induced in picornavirus-infected cells is a well-known phenomenon. The mechanisms by which separate genera of the picornavirus family achieve this shutoff differ. This study examined alterations in the cellular translational components in HeLa cells infected with encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), a cardiovirus. In agreement with previous reports, EMCV induced a marked decrease in host mRNA translation. The inhibition correlated with the appearance of a significantly enhanced 80S peak in cells and a concomitant decrease in polysome abundance. Characterization of the 80S material revealed that these ribosomes were virtually devoid of mRNA. Viral protein 2A was tightly associated with some of the free 40S ribosome subunits, but it was not present in the 80S pool which accumulated after infection. Expression of 2A protein in cells in the absence infection was able to modulate the cellular translational environment to increase the ratio of internal ribosome entry site-dependent translation to cap-dependent translation of a reporter construct. The results provide further evidence for a role of 2A protein in the mechanism of cardiovirus-induced host translational shutoff. (+info)Recycling of eukaryotic posttermination ribosomal complexes. (3/154)
After translational termination, mRNA and P site deacylated tRNA remain associated with ribosomes in posttermination complexes (post-TCs), which must therefore be recycled by releasing mRNA and deacylated tRNA and by dissociating ribosomes into subunits. Recycling of bacterial post-TCs requires elongation factor EF-G and a ribosome recycling factor RRF. Eukaryotes do not encode a RRF homolog, and their mechanism of ribosomal recycling is unknown. We investigated eukaryotic recycling using post-TCs assembled on a model mRNA encoding a tetrapeptide followed by a UAA stop codon and report that initiation factors eIF3, eIF1, eIF1A, and eIF3j, a loosely associated subunit of eIF3, can promote recycling of eukaryotic post-TCs. eIF3 is the principal factor that promotes splitting of posttermination ribosomes into 60S subunits and tRNA- and mRNA-bound 40S subunits. Its activity is enhanced by eIFs 3j, 1, and 1A. eIF1 also mediates release of P site tRNA, whereas eIF3j ensures subsequent dissociation of mRNA. (+info)Analysis of the in vivo assembly pathway of eukaryotic 40S ribosomal proteins. (4/154)
In eukaryotes, in vivo formation of the two ribosomal subunits from four ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and approximately 80 ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) involves more than 150 nonribosomal proteins and around 100 small noncoding RNAs. It is temporally and spatially organized within different cellular compartments: the nucleolus, the nucleoplasm, and the cytoplasm. Here, we present a way to analyze how eukaryotic r-proteins of the small ribosomal subunit (SSU) assemble in vivo with rRNA. Our results show that key aspects of the assembly of eukaryotic r-proteins into distinct structural parts of the SSU are similar to the in vitro assembly pathway of their prokaryotic counterparts. We observe that the establishment of a stable assembly intermediate of the eukaryotic SSU body, but not of the SSU head, is closely linked to early rRNA processing events. The formation of assembly intermediates of the head controls efficient nuclear export of the SSU and cytoplasmic pre-rRNA maturation steps. (+info)Cryo-EM study of the spinach chloroplast ribosome reveals the structural and functional roles of plastid-specific ribosomal proteins. (5/154)
Protein synthesis in the chloroplast is carried out by chloroplast ribosomes (chloro-ribosome) and regulated in a light-dependent manner. Chloroplast or plastid ribosomal proteins (PRPs) generally are larger than their bacterial counterparts, and chloro-ribosomes contain additional plastid-specific ribosomal proteins (PSRPs); however, it is unclear to what extent these proteins play structural or regulatory roles during translation. We have obtained a three-dimensional cryo-EM map of the spinach 70S chloro-ribosome, revealing the overall structural organization to be similar to bacterial ribosomes. Fitting of the conserved portions of the x-ray crystallographic structure of the bacterial 70S ribosome into our cryo-EM map of the chloro-ribosome reveals the positions of PRP extensions and the locations of the PSRPs. Surprisingly, PSRP1 binds in the decoding region of the small (30S) ribosomal subunit, in a manner that would preclude the binding of messenger and transfer RNAs to the ribosome, suggesting that PSRP1 is a translation factor rather than a ribosomal protein. PSRP2 and PSRP3 appear to structurally compensate for missing segments of the 16S rRNA within the 30S subunit, whereas PSRP4 occupies a position buried within the head of the 30S subunit. One of the two PSRPs in the large (50S) ribosomal subunit lies near the tRNA exit site. Furthermore, we find a mass of density corresponding to chloro-ribosome recycling factor; domain II of this factor appears to interact with the flexible C-terminal domain of PSRP1. Our study provides evolutionary insights into the structural and functional roles that the PSRPs play during protein synthesis in chloroplasts. (+info)The interaction of mammalian mitochondrial translational initiation factor 3 with ribosomes: evolution of terminal extensions in IF3mt. (6/154)
Mammalian mitochondrial initiation factor 3 (IF3(mt)) has a central region with homology to bacterial IF3. This homology region is preceded by an N-terminal extension and followed by a C-terminal extension. The role of these extensions on the binding of IF3(mt) to mitochondrial small ribosomal subunits (28S) was studied using derivatives in which the extensions had been deleted. The K(d) for the binding of IF3(mt) to 28S subunits is approximately 30 nM. Removal of either the N- or C-terminal extension has almost no effect on this value. IF3(mt) has very weak interactions with the large subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome (39S) (K(d) = 1.5 muM). However, deletion of the extensions results in derivatives with significant affinity for 39S subunits (K(d) = 0.12-0.25 muM). IF3(mt) does not bind 55S monosomes, while the deletion derivative binds slightly to these particles. IF3(mt) is very effective in dissociating 55S ribosomes. Removal of the N-terminal extension has little effect on this activity. However, removal of the C-terminal extension leads to a complex dissociation pattern due to the high affinity of this derivative for 39S subunits. These data suggest that the extensions have evolved to ensure the proper dissociation of IF3(mt) from the 28S subunits upon 39S subunit joining.

(+info)Amoebozoa is a supergroup of unicellular eukaryotic organisms that includes various kinds of amoebas and slime molds. These organisms are characterized by the presence of lobose pseudopodia, which are temporary protrusions of cytoplasm used for locomotion and feeding. Amoebozoa is a diverse group with over 9,000 described species, including both free-living and symbiotic forms. Some amoebozoans can form multicellular structures during their life cycle, such as slime molds, which are known for their complex behaviors and social interactions. The study of Amoebozoa is important for understanding the evolutionary history and diversity of eukaryotic organisms.
Ribosomes are complex macromolecular structures composed of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins that play a crucial role in protein synthesis within cells. They serve as the site for translation, where messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into a specific sequence of amino acids to create a polypeptide chain, which eventually folds into a functional protein.
Ribosomes consist of two subunits: a smaller subunit and a larger subunit. These subunits are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the smaller subunit is denoted as the 40S subunit, while the larger subunit is referred to as the 60S subunit. In prokaryotic cells, these subunits are named the 30S and 50S subunits, respectively. The ribosome's overall structure resembles a "doughnut" or a "cotton reel," with grooves and binding sites for various factors involved in protein synthesis.
Ribosomes can be found floating freely within the cytoplasm of cells or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, forming part of the rough ER. Membrane-bound ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins that will be transported across the ER and ultimately secreted from the cell or inserted into the membrane. In contrast, cytoplasmic ribosomes synthesize proteins destined for use within the cytoplasm or organelles.
In summary, ribosomes are essential components of cells that facilitate protein synthesis by translating mRNA into functional polypeptide chains. They can be found in various cellular locations and exist as either free-floating entities or membrane-bound structures.
A ribosome is a complex molecular machine found in all living cells that translates messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Ribosomes are composed of two subunits: a small subunit and a large subunit. The small subunit is responsible for recognizing and binding to the mRNA, as well as decoding the genetic information it contains.
Archaeal ribosomes are similar in structure and function to eukaryotic ribosomes, but they have some distinct differences in their composition and sequence. Archaeal small ribosomal subunits, like those of bacteria, are composed of a 16S rRNA molecule and approximately 20 proteins. However, the archaeal small ribosomal subunit has a unique structure and composition that is distinct from both bacterial and eukaryotic small ribosomal subunits.
The small ribosomal subunit of Archaea is referred to as the "small, archaeal" subunit. It plays a crucial role in the initiation of protein synthesis by recognizing and binding to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence in the mRNA, which helps position the start codon for translation. The small, archaeal ribosomal subunit also contains the decoding center, where the genetic information in the mRNA is translated into a corresponding amino acid sequence during protein synthesis.
Overall, the small, archaeal ribosomal subunit is an essential component of the archaeal translational machinery, responsible for accurately and efficiently decoding genetic information and initiating the synthesis of new proteins.
A large archaeal ribosomal subunit refers to the larger of the two components that make up the archaeal ribosome, which is the complex molecular machine responsible for protein synthesis in archaea. The large ribosomal subunit plays a crucial role in the elongation phase of translation, where it helps catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis.
The large ribosomal subunit of archaea is composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. Specifically, the archaeal large ribosomal subunit contains a 23S rRNA molecule, a 5S rRNA molecule, and around 30-40 different proteins. These components are organized into several distinct structural domains, including the central protuberance, the L1 stalk, and the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), which is where peptide bond formation occurs.
It's worth noting that while archaeal ribosomes share some similarities with eukaryotic ribosomes, they are more closely related to bacterial ribosomes in terms of their structure and composition. However, the large ribosomal subunit of archaea is still distinct from both bacterial and eukaryotic subunits in its specific rRNA sequences and protein composition.

In prokaryotic cells like bacteria, the small ribosomal subunit consists of a single 16S rRNA and approximately 21 ribosomal proteins, while the large ribosomal subunit contains three rRNAs (5S, 5.8S, and 23S) and around 30-33 ribosomal proteins.
These ribosome subunits come together during protein synthesis to form a functional ribosome, which translates the genetic code present in mRNA into a polypeptide chain (protein).

The large ribosomal subunit plays a crucial role in the elongation phase of protein synthesis, where it helps catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids.
The Large Ribosomal Subunit, also known as the 60S subunit in eukaryotic cells (50S in prokaryotic cells), is composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and numerous proteins. In humans, the large ribosomal subunit contains three rRNA molecules (28S, 5.8S, and 5S rRNA) and approximately 49 distinct proteins. Its primary function is to bind to the small ribosomal subunit and form a functional ribosome, which then translates messenger RNA (mRNA) into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.
The large ribosomal subunit has several key features, including the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), where peptide bonds are formed between amino acids, and the exit tunnel, through which the nascent polypeptide chain passes as it is being synthesized. The PTC is a crucial component of the large subunit, as it facilitates the transfer of activated amino acids from transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to the growing polypeptide chain during translation.

A ribosome is a complex molecular machine found in all living cells that serves as the site for protein synthesis. In bacteria, ribosomes are composed of two subunits: a smaller subunit and a larger subunit. The large bacterial ribosomal subunit is referred to as the 50S subunit.
The 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes is a large ribonucleoprotein complex with an estimated molecular weight of approximately 1.5-2 MDa. It is composed of three ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and around 30 distinct proteins.

The 50S subunit has a complex structure, with several distinct domains and functional centers, including the peptidyl transferase center, the decoding center, and the exit tunnel for nascent polypeptides.
Understanding the structure and function of the large bacterial ribosomal subunit is important for developing new antibiotics that target bacterial protein synthesis and for understanding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance.
A small bacterial ribosomal subunit refers to a component of the ribosome in bacteria, which is responsible for protein synthesis. Specifically, it refers to the 30S subunit, which is composed of one 16S rRNA molecule and approximately 21 distinct proteins. This subunit plays a crucial role in decoding the mRNA template during translation, ensuring that the correct amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain. The small ribosomal subunit interacts with the mRNA and tRNAs during this process, facilitating accurate and efficient protein synthesis.
A large ribosomal subunit in eukaryotic cells is a complex macromolecular structure composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. It is one of the two subunits that make up the eukaryotic ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The large subunit is responsible for catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis.
In eukaryotes, the large ribosomal subunit is composed of three rRNA molecules (5S, 5.8S, and 28S) and approximately 49 proteins. The large subunit has a characteristic shape with a prominent protuberance called the "stalk" that contains proteins involved in binding translation factors and messenger RNA (mRNA).
The large ribosomal subunit plays a critical role in the elongation phase of protein synthesis, where it binds to the small ribosomal subunit and mRNA to form a functional ribosome. The large subunit moves along the mRNA, reading the genetic code and catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids as they are brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.
A small ribosomal subunit in eukaryotic cells is a complex cellular structure composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. It is one of the two subunits that make up the eukaryotic ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The small subunit is responsible for recognizing and binding to the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and decoding the genetic information it contains into a specific sequence of amino acids.
In eukaryotic cells, the small ribosomal subunit is composed of a 18S rRNA molecule and approximately 30 different proteins. The 18S rRNA molecule forms the core of the subunit and provides the structural framework for the binding of the proteins. Together, the rRNA and proteins form a compact and highly organized structure that is capable of carrying out the precise and efficient decoding of mRNA.
The small ribosomal subunit plays a critical role in the initiation of protein synthesis, as it is responsible for recognizing and binding to the cap structure at the 5' end of the mRNA molecule. This interaction allows the subunit to scan along the mRNA until it encounters the start codon, which signals the beginning of the protein-coding region. Once the start codon is located, the small subunit recruits the large ribosomal subunit and initiates the process of elongation, in which the amino acids are linked together to form a polypeptide chain.
Overall, the small ribosomal subunit is an essential component of the eukaryotic protein synthesis machinery, and its proper function is critical for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and the regulation of gene expression.
Eukaryotic cells are complex cells that characterize the cells of all living organisms except bacteria and archaea. They are typically larger than prokaryotic cells and contain a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. The nucleus houses the genetic material, DNA, which is organized into chromosomes. Other organelles include mitochondria, responsible for energy production; chloroplasts, present in plant cells and responsible for photosynthesis; endoplasmic reticulum, involved in protein synthesis; Golgi apparatus, involved in the processing and transport of proteins and lipids; lysosomes, involved in digestion and waste disposal; and vacuoles, involved in storage and waste management. Eukaryotic cells also have a cytoskeleton made up of microtubules, intermediate filaments, and actin filaments that provide structure, support, and mobility to the cell.
A protein subunit refers to a distinct and independently folding polypeptide chain that makes up a larger protein complex. Proteins are often composed of multiple subunits, which can be identical or different, that come together to form the functional unit of the protein. These subunits can interact with each other through non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and van der Waals forces, as well as covalent bonds like disulfide bridges. The arrangement and interaction of these subunits contribute to the overall structure and function of the protein.
Ribosomal proteins are a type of protein that play a crucial role in the structure and function of ribosomes, which are complex molecular machines found within all living cells. Ribosomes are responsible for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins during the process of protein synthesis.
Ribosomal proteins can be divided into two categories based on their location within the ribosome:
1. Large ribosomal subunit proteins: These proteins are associated with the larger of the two subunits of the ribosome, which is responsible for catalyzing peptide bond formation during protein synthesis.
2. Small ribosomal subunit proteins: These proteins are associated with the smaller of the two subunits of the ribosome, which is responsible for binding to the mRNA and decoding the genetic information it contains.
Ribosomal proteins have a variety of functions, including helping to stabilize the structure of the ribosome, assisting in the binding of substrates and cofactors necessary for protein synthesis, and regulating the activity of the ribosome. Mutations in ribosomal proteins can lead to a variety of human diseases, including developmental disorders, neurological conditions, and cancer.
Protein biosynthesis is the process by which cells generate new proteins. It involves two major steps: transcription and translation. Transcription is the process of creating a complementary RNA copy of a sequence of DNA. This RNA copy, or messenger RNA (mRNA), carries the genetic information to the site of protein synthesis, the ribosome. During translation, the mRNA is read by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which bring specific amino acids to the ribosome based on the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA. The ribosome then links these amino acids together in the correct order to form a polypeptide chain, which may then fold into a functional protein. Protein biosynthesis is essential for the growth and maintenance of all living organisms.
Molecular sequence data refers to the specific arrangement of molecules, most commonly nucleotides in DNA or RNA, or amino acids in proteins, that make up a biological macromolecule. This data is generated through laboratory techniques such as sequencing, and provides information about the exact order of the constituent molecules. This data is crucial in various fields of biology, including genetics, evolution, and molecular biology, allowing for comparisons between different organisms, identification of genetic variations, and studies of gene function and regulation.
'Escherichia coli' (E. coli) is a type of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium that commonly inhabits the intestinal tract of humans and warm-blooded animals. It is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae and one of the most well-studied prokaryotic model organisms in molecular biology.
While most E. coli strains are harmless and even beneficial to their hosts, some serotypes can cause various forms of gastrointestinal and extraintestinal illnesses in humans and animals. These pathogenic strains possess virulence factors that enable them to colonize and damage host tissues, leading to diseases such as diarrhea, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and sepsis.
E. coli is a versatile organism with remarkable genetic diversity, which allows it to adapt to various environmental niches. It can be found in water, soil, food, and various man-made environments, making it an essential indicator of fecal contamination and a common cause of foodborne illnesses. The study of E. coli has contributed significantly to our understanding of fundamental biological processes, including DNA replication, gene regulation, and protein synthesis.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that is a key component of ribosomes, which are the cellular structures where protein synthesis occurs in cells. In ribosomes, rRNA plays a crucial role in the process of translation, where genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) is translated into proteins.
Ribosomal RNA is synthesized in the nucleus and then transported to the cytoplasm, where it assembles with ribosomal proteins to form ribosomes. Within the ribosome, rRNA provides a structural framework for the assembly of the ribosome and also plays an active role in catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis.
There are several different types of rRNA molecules, including 5S, 5.8S, 18S, and 28S rRNA, which vary in size and function. These rRNA molecules are highly conserved across different species, indicating their essential role in protein synthesis and cellular function.
An amino acid sequence is the specific order of amino acids in a protein or peptide molecule, formed by the linking of the amino group (-NH2) of one amino acid to the carboxyl group (-COOH) of another amino acid through a peptide bond. The sequence is determined by the genetic code and is unique to each type of protein or peptide. It plays a crucial role in determining the three-dimensional structure and function of proteins.
A base sequence in the context of molecular biology refers to the specific order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule. In DNA, these nucleotides are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). In RNA, uracil (U) takes the place of thymine. The base sequence contains genetic information that is transcribed into RNA and ultimately translated into proteins. It is the exact order of these bases that determines the genetic code and thus the function of the DNA or RNA molecule.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, the process by which cells create proteins. In protein synthesis, tRNAs serve as adaptors, translating the genetic code present in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the corresponding amino acids required to build a protein.
Each tRNA molecule has a distinct structure, consisting of approximately 70-90 nucleotides arranged in a cloverleaf shape with several loops and stems. The most important feature of a tRNA is its anticodon, a sequence of three nucleotides located in one of the loops. This anticodon base-pairs with a complementary codon on the mRNA during translation, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
Before tRNAs can participate in protein synthesis, they must be charged with their specific amino acids through an enzymatic process involving aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes recognize and bind to both the tRNA and its corresponding amino acid, forming a covalent bond between them. Once charged, the aminoacyl-tRNA complex is ready to engage in translation and contribute to protein formation.
In summary, transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that facilitates protein synthesis by translating genetic information from messenger RNA into specific amino acids, ultimately leading to the creation of functional proteins within cells.
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a type of protein that can inhibit the function of ribosomes, which are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosome-inactivating proteins are classified into two types: Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs) are defined as single-chain proteins that inhibit protein synthesis by depurinating a specific adenine residue in the sarcin-ricin loop of the large rRNA molecule within the ribosome. This results in the irreversible inactivation of the ribosome, preventing it from participating in further protein synthesis.
Type 1 RIPs are found in various plant species and have been identified as potential therapeutic agents for cancer treatment due to their ability to selectively inhibit protein synthesis in cancer cells. However, they can also be toxic to normal cells, which limits their clinical use. Examples of Type 1 RIPs include dianthin, gelonin, and trichosanthin.
"Saccharomyces cerevisiae" is not typically considered a medical term, but it is a scientific name used in the field of microbiology. It refers to a species of yeast that is commonly used in various industrial processes, such as baking and brewing. It's also widely used in scientific research due to its genetic tractability and eukaryotic cellular organization.
However, it does have some relevance to medical fields like medicine and nutrition. For example, certain strains of S. cerevisiae are used as probiotics, which can provide health benefits when consumed. They may help support gut health, enhance the immune system, and even assist in the digestion of certain nutrients.
In summary, "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" is a species of yeast with various industrial and potential medical applications.
Peptide chain initiation in translational terms refers to the process by which the synthesis of a protein begins on a ribosome. This is the first step in translation, where the small ribosomal subunit binds to an mRNA molecule at the start codon (usually AUG), bringing with it the initiator tRNA charged with a specific amino acid (often N-formylmethionine in prokaryotes or methionine in eukaryotes). The large ribosomal subunit then joins this complex, forming a functional initiation complex. This marks the beginning of the elongation phase, where subsequent amino acids are added to the growing peptide chain until termination is reached.
Peptide initiation factors are a group of proteins involved in the process of protein synthesis in cells, specifically during the initial stage of elongation called initiation. In this phase, they assist in the assembly of the ribosome, an organelle composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins, at the start codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. This marks the beginning of the translation process where the genetic information encoded in the mRNA is translated into a specific protein sequence.
There are three main peptide initiation factors in eukaryotic cells:
1. eIF-2 (eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2): This factor plays a crucial role in binding methionyl-tRNAi, the initiator tRNA, to the small ribosomal subunit. It does so by forming a complex with GTP and the methionyl-tRNAi, which then binds to the 40S ribosomal subunit. Once bound, eIF-2-GTP-Met-tRNAi recognizes the start codon (AUG) on the mRNA.
2. eIF-3: This is a large multiprotein complex that interacts with both the small and large ribosomal subunits and helps stabilize their interaction during initiation. It also plays a role in recruiting other initiation factors to the preinitiation complex.
3. eIF-4F: This factor is a heterotrimeric protein complex consisting of eIF-4A (an ATP-dependent RNA helicase), eIF-4E (which binds the m7G cap structure at the 5' end of most eukaryotic mRNAs), and eIF-4G (a scaffolding protein that bridges interactions between eIF-4A, eIF-4E, and other initiation factors). eIF-4F helps unwind secondary structures in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of mRNAs, promoting efficient recruitment of the 43S preinitiation complex to the mRNA.
Together, these peptide initiation factors facilitate the recognition of the correct start codon and ensure efficient translation initiation in eukaryotic cells.
Translational peptide chain elongation is the process during protein synthesis where activated amino acids are added to the growing peptide chain in a sequence determined by the genetic code present in messenger RNA (mRNA). This process involves several steps:
1. Recognition of the start codon on the mRNA by the small ribosomal subunit, which binds to the mRNA and brings an initiator tRNA with a methionine or formylmethionine amino acid attached into the P site (peptidyl site) of the ribosome.
2. The large ribosomal subunit then joins the small subunit, forming a complete ribosome complex.
3. An incoming charged tRNA with an appropriate amino acid, complementary to the next codon on the mRNA, binds to the A site (aminoacyl site) of the ribosome.
4. Peptidyl transferase, a catalytic domain within the large ribosomal subunit, facilitates the formation of a peptide bond between the amino acids attached to the tRNAs in the P and A sites. The methionine or formylmethionine initiator amino acid is now covalently linked to the second amino acid via this peptide bond.
5. Translocation occurs, moving the tRNA with the growing peptide chain from the P site to the E site (exit site) and shifting the mRNA by one codon relative to the ribosome. The uncharged tRNA is then released from the E site.
6. The next charged tRNA carrying an appropriate amino acid binds to the A site, and the process repeats until a stop codon is reached on the mRNA.
7. Upon encountering a stop codon, release factors recognize it and facilitate the release of the completed polypeptide chain from the final tRNA in the P site. The ribosome then dissociates from the mRNA, allowing for further translational events to occur.
Translational peptide chain elongation is a crucial step in protein synthesis and requires precise coordination between various components of the translation machinery, including ribosomes, tRNAs, amino acids, and numerous accessory proteins.
Nucleic acid conformation refers to the three-dimensional structure that nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) adopt as a result of the bonding patterns between the atoms within the molecule. The primary structure of nucleic acids is determined by the sequence of nucleotides, while the conformation is influenced by factors such as the sugar-phosphate backbone, base stacking, and hydrogen bonding.
Two common conformations of DNA are the B-form and the A-form. The B-form is a right-handed helix with a diameter of about 20 Ã… and a pitch of 34 Ã…, while the A-form has a smaller diameter (about 18 Ã…) and a shorter pitch (about 25 Ã…). RNA typically adopts an A-form conformation.
The conformation of nucleic acids can have significant implications for their function, as it can affect their ability to interact with other molecules such as proteins or drugs. Understanding the conformational properties of nucleic acids is therefore an important area of research in molecular biology and medicine.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA (ribonucleic acid) that carries genetic information copied from DNA in the form of a series of three-base code "words," each of which specifies a particular amino acid. This information is used by the cell's machinery to construct proteins, a process known as translation. After being transcribed from DNA, mRNA travels out of the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs. Once the protein has been synthesized, the mRNA may be degraded and recycled. Post-transcriptional modifications can also occur to mRNA, such as alternative splicing and addition of a 5' cap and a poly(A) tail, which can affect its stability, localization, and translation efficiency.
In the context of medical and biological sciences, a "binding site" refers to a specific location on a protein, molecule, or cell where another molecule can attach or bind. This binding interaction can lead to various functional changes in the original protein or molecule. The other molecule that binds to the binding site is often referred to as a ligand, which can be a small molecule, ion, or even another protein.
The binding between a ligand and its target binding site can be specific and selective, meaning that only certain ligands can bind to particular binding sites with high affinity. This specificity plays a crucial role in various biological processes, such as signal transduction, enzyme catalysis, or drug action.
In the case of drug development, understanding the location and properties of binding sites on target proteins is essential for designing drugs that can selectively bind to these sites and modulate protein function. This knowledge can help create more effective and safer therapeutic options for various diseases.
Macromolecular substances, also known as macromolecules, are large, complex molecules made up of repeating subunits called monomers. These substances are formed through polymerization, a process in which many small molecules combine to form a larger one. Macromolecular substances can be naturally occurring, such as proteins, DNA, and carbohydrates, or synthetic, such as plastics and synthetic fibers.
In the context of medicine, macromolecular substances are often used in the development of drugs and medical devices. For example, some drugs are designed to bind to specific macromolecules in the body, such as proteins or DNA, in order to alter their function and produce a therapeutic effect. Additionally, macromolecular substances may be used in the creation of medical implants, such as artificial joints and heart valves, due to their strength and durability.
It is important for healthcare professionals to have an understanding of macromolecular substances and how they function in the body, as this knowledge can inform the development and use of medical treatments.
Protein binding, in the context of medical and biological sciences, refers to the interaction between a protein and another molecule (known as the ligand) that results in a stable complex. This process is often reversible and can be influenced by various factors such as pH, temperature, and concentration of the involved molecules.
In clinical chemistry, protein binding is particularly important when it comes to drugs, as many of them bind to proteins (especially albumin) in the bloodstream. The degree of protein binding can affect a drug's distribution, metabolism, and excretion, which in turn influence its therapeutic effectiveness and potential side effects.
Protein-bound drugs may be less available for interaction with their target tissues, as only the unbound or "free" fraction of the drug is active. Therefore, understanding protein binding can help optimize dosing regimens and minimize adverse reactions.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It serves as the adaptor molecule that translates the genetic code present in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the corresponding amino acids, which are then linked together to form a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.
Aminoacyl tRNA is a specific type of tRNA molecule that has been charged or activated with an amino acid. This process is called aminoacylation and is carried out by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Each synthetase specifically recognizes and attaches a particular amino acid to its corresponding tRNA, ensuring the fidelity of protein synthesis. Once an amino acid is attached to a tRNA, it forms an aminoacyl-tRNA complex, which can then participate in translation and contribute to the formation of a new protein.
Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2 (eIF-2) is a crucial protein complex in the process of protein synthesis, also known as translation, in eukaryotic cells. It plays a role in the initiation phase of translation, where it helps to recruit and position the initiator tRNA (tRNAiMet) at the start codon on the mRNA molecule.
The eIF-2 complex is made up of three subunits: α, β, and γ. Phosphorylation of the α subunit (eIF-2α) plays a regulatory role in protein synthesis. When eIF-2α is phosphorylated by one of several eIF-2 kinases in response to various stress signals, it leads to a decrease in global protein synthesis, allowing the cell to conserve resources and survive during times of stress. This process is known as the integrated stress response (ISR).
In summary, Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2 (eIF-2) is a protein complex that plays a critical role in the initiation phase of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells, and its activity can be regulated by phosphorylation of the α subunit.
Peptide Elongation Factor G is a term used in the field of molecular biology, specifically in the process of protein synthesis. It is a bacterial enzyme that plays a crucial role in the elongation stage of translation, which is the process by which genetic information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) is converted into a polypeptide chain or protein.
More specifically, Peptide Elongation Factor G (also known as EF-G or Translocase) is responsible for the translocation step during translation. After each amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain, the mRNA and tRNAs must move relative to the ribosome so that the next codon in the mRNA can be read. EF-G facilitates this movement by using energy from GTP hydrolysis to cause a conformational change in the ribosome, resulting in the translocation of the mRNA and tRNAs by one codon.
In summary, Peptide Elongation Factor G is a bacterial enzyme that plays an essential role in the elongation stage of protein synthesis by facilitating the movement of mRNA and tRNAs relative to the ribosome during translation.
Molecular models are three-dimensional representations of molecular structures that are used in the field of molecular biology and chemistry to visualize and understand the spatial arrangement of atoms and bonds within a molecule. These models can be physical or computer-generated and allow researchers to study the shape, size, and behavior of molecules, which is crucial for understanding their function and interactions with other molecules.
Physical molecular models are often made up of balls (representing atoms) connected by rods or sticks (representing bonds). These models can be constructed manually using materials such as plastic or wooden balls and rods, or they can be created using 3D printing technology.
Computer-generated molecular models, on the other hand, are created using specialized software that allows researchers to visualize and manipulate molecular structures in three dimensions. These models can be used to simulate molecular interactions, predict molecular behavior, and design new drugs or chemicals with specific properties. Overall, molecular models play a critical role in advancing our understanding of molecular structures and their functions.
Polyribosomes, also known as polysomes, are clusters of ribosomes that are translating the same mRNA molecule simultaneously. They can be found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and are responsible for the synthesis of proteins. The mRNA molecule serves as a template for the translation process, with multiple ribosomes moving along it and producing multiple copies of the same protein. This allows for efficient and rapid production of large quantities of a single protein. Polyribosomes can be found in high numbers in cells that are actively synthesizing proteins, such as secretory cells or cells undergoing growth and division.
Bacterial RNA refers to the genetic material present in bacteria that is composed of ribonucleic acid (RNA). Unlike higher organisms, bacteria contain a single circular chromosome made up of DNA, along with smaller circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These bacterial genetic materials contain the information necessary for the growth and reproduction of the organism.
Bacterial RNA can be divided into three main categories: messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA). mRNA carries genetic information copied from DNA, which is then translated into proteins by the rRNA and tRNA molecules. rRNA is a structural component of the ribosome, where protein synthesis occurs, while tRNA acts as an adapter that brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
Bacterial RNA plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including gene expression, protein synthesis, and regulation of metabolic pathways. Understanding the structure and function of bacterial RNA is essential for developing new antibiotics and other therapeutic strategies to combat bacterial infections.
