31
Translation
• InitiationThe inactive 40S and 60S subunits will bind
to each other with high affinity to form inactive complex unless kept apart
This is achieved by eIF3, which bind to the 40S subunit
mRNA forms an initiation complex with a ribosome
A number of initiation factors participate in the process.
![Page 32: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812a8a550346895d8e2aec/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Translation
Cap sequence present at the 5’ end of the mRNA is recognized by eIF4
Subsequently eIF3 is bound and cause the binding of small 40S subunit in the complexes
The 18S RNA present in the 40 S subunit is involved in binding the cap sequence
eIF2 binds GTP and initiation tRNA, which recognize the the start codon AUG
This complex is also bound to 40S subunit
![Page 33: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812a8a550346895d8e2aec/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
TranslationDriven by hydrolysis of ATP, 40S complex
migrate down stream until it finds AUG start codon
The large 60S subunit is then bound to the 40S subunit
It is accompanied by the dissociation of several initiation factor and GDP
The formation of the initiation complex is now completed
Ribosome complex is able to translate

34
Translation
Extrachromosomal mRNAs have no cap site Plastid mRNA has a special ribosome binding site
for the initial binding to the small subunit of the ribosome (shine-Dalgarno sequence)
This sequence is also found in bacterial mRNA, but it is not known in the mitochondria
In the prokaryotic, the initiation tRNA is loaded with N-formylmethionine
After peptide formation, the formyl residue is cleaved from the methionine
![Page 35: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812a8a550346895d8e2aec/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Translation
• Elongation A ribosome contains two sites where the
tRNAs can bind to the mRNA. P (peptidyl) site allows the binding of the
initiation tRNA to the AUG start codon. The A (aminoacyl) site covers the second
codon of the gene and the first is unoccupied
On the other side of the P site is the exit (E) site where empty tRNA is released
![Page 37: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812a8a550346895d8e2aec/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Translation
• Elongation The elongation begins after the corresponding
aminoacyl-tRNA occupies the A site by forming base pairs with the second codon
Two elongation factors (eEF) play an important role
eEF1 binds GTP and guides the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site, during which GTP is hydrolized to GDP and P.
The cleavage of the energy-rich anhydride bond in GTP enables the aminoacyl-tRNA to bind to codon at the A site
![Page 38: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56812a8a550346895d8e2aec/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Translation
• Elongation Afterwards the GDP still bound to eEF1, is
exchange for GTP as mediated by the eEF1 The eEF1 -GTP is now ready for the next cycle Subsequently a peptide linkage is form between
the carboxyl group of methionine and the amino group of amino acid of the tRNA bound to A site
Peptidyl transferase catalyzing the reaction. It facilitates the N-nucleophilic attack on the carboxyl group, whereby the peptide bond is formed with the released of water

39
Translation
•ElongationAccompanied by the hydrolysis of one
molecule GTP to form GDP and P, the eEF2 facilitates the translocation of the ribosome along the mRNA to three bases downstream
Free tRNA arrives at site E is released, and tRNA loaded with the peptide now occupies the P Site
The third aminoacyl-tRNA binds to the vacant A site and a further elongation cycle can begin

Mitochondria More than 95% of mitochondrial proteins in plant are encoded
in the nucleus and translated in the cytosol Proteins are generally equipped with targeting signals ( a signal
sequence of 12-70 amino acids at the amino terminal) Protein import occurs at translocation site In most cases, protein destined for the mitochondrial inner
membrane after transport through outer membrane are guided directly to the location by internal targeting sequence
Protein destined for the inner mitochondrial membrane contain pro-sequence that guides first into the mitochondrial matrix. After removal of the pro-sequence by processing peptidase, the proteins are directed by second targeting signal sequence into the inner membrane

Plastids
ATP is consumed for the phosphorilation of a protein, probably the receptor OEP86
The protein transport is regulated by the binding of the GTP to OEP86 and OEP34
After the protein is delivered, the pre-sequence is removed by a processing peptidase
The protein destined to thylakoid membrane are first delivered into stroma and then directed by internal targeting signal into thylakoid membrane

Peroxisomes
Small membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelle containing oxidizing enzymes
They can be found in leaf cells where they contain some of the enzymes of glycolytic pathway
All protein have to be delivered from the cytosol The transport is accompanied by ATP hydrolysis Targeting sequence SKL (serine-lysine-leucine)
has been observed in C terminus, but this sequence is not removed after uptake

Vacuole Proteins are transferred during their synthesis to the lumen of ER This is aided by a signal sequence at the terminus of the
synthesized protein, which binds with a signal recognition particle to a pore protein present in the ER membrane and thus directs the protein to the ER lumen
In such cases, ribosome is attached to the ER membrane during protein synthesis and the synthesized protein appears immediately in the ER lumen. It is called co-translational protein transport
This protein is then transferred from the ER by vesicles transfer across the golgi apparatus to the vacuole or are exported by secretory vesicles from the cell

original base triplet in a DNA strand
As DNA is replicated, proofreadingenzymes detect the mistake andmake a substitution for it:
a base substitution within the triplet (red)
One DNA molecule carries the original, unmutated sequence
The other DNAmolecule carries a gene mutation
