Protein Synthesis Part 1

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Described ribosome couple   Large subunit on top of small subunit and it is inactive. Couple has to be separated to form a monosome, ribosome attaches to the mRNA & is ready to decode info  
🗑
What does the ratio of polysome to monosome reflect?   The activity of protein synthesis. More ribosomes= more protein synthesis  
🗑
Name the four stages of protein synthesis   1. Aminoacylation 2. Initiation (GTP & ATP) 3. Elongation (GTP) 4. Termination  
🗑
What has to be ensured for all tRNA's   Charged state. Amino acid is esterfied to tRNA. catalyzed by aminoacyl tRNA synthetase  
🗑
Diphthamide   Has a modified histone. Present in EF-2, highly suseptible to inhibition of synthesis by and exotoxin produced by corynebeacterium dipthariae  
🗑
Describe the role of exotoxin   Catalyzes the modification by mono-ADP-ribosylation. Consumes NAD as a substrate by breaking the ribose-nucleotinamide bond. NAD is covalently attached to N  
🗑
Hypusine   It is a composite made up of lysine and spermidine on the other end. Present in eIF-5a. Related to the destruction of pancreatic islets when you have cytokine induced inflammation  
🗑
Selenocysteine   Modified cysteine, found in 15-30 polypeptide chains in Pro and Euk. Selenoproteins play a role in defense against oxidative stress. Encoded by AUG (termination)= insert selenocysteine into selenoproteins  
🗑
What direction is proteins synthesized in?   From N terminus to C terminus. 1st aminoacyl tRNA linking to the 2nd aminoacyl tRNA to form dipeptidyl tRNA then to a 3rd and so forth  
🗑
Describe tRNA features   CCA at 3'. Adaptor molecule, 2 ends are anchoring the AA at the 3' end & at other end there is anticodon loop which interacts with mRNA. 5' loop=di-hydrouridine. 3' loop=T-psuedouridine C loop  
🗑
Feature of psudouracil   Change in Carbon Nitrogen position (RNA editing)  
🗑
Wobble position   Refers to the first base of the anticodon  
🗑
Class I amnioacyl synthetase   tRNA oriented to your right (CCA to right). Synthesase attacks from front to 2' position and need to be moved to 3'  
🗑
Class II aminoacyl synthetase   tRNA has CCA oriented to the left. Synthesase attacks from backside and attaches directly to the 3' position  
🗑
Ribosome of Pro   70s--30s and 50s subunit. 30s contains 16s which recognizes the initiation codon  
🗑
Ribosome of Euk   80s--40s and 60s  
🗑
Features of smaller subunits of ribosomes   Have E, P and A sites. First aminoacyl tRNA positions to the P site. Has enzymatic activity called the peptidyl transferase (ribozyme). Organization of small unit allos peptide bond formation.  
🗑
What do Pro mRNA lack that Euk has?   Lacks cap structure, has shine delgarno sequence which is purine rich at 5' UTR (9-16nts) Complementary with 3' end of 16s  
🗑
Describe the mRNA   Has 5' UTR--AUG--coding sequence--termination sequence--3' UTR--3' end  
🗑
AUG   Initiator condon, represents methionine. Recognized by the initiator tRNA. Pro has f-Met-tRNA (formyl group) and Euk has Met tRNA  
🗑
Degeneracy of genetic code   More codons than amino acids  
🗑
Wobble base rules   If you have A or C there is no deviation. G, T or hypoxanthine (I) you have flexibility. I can pair with A, C or U.  
🗑
What step of the process determines the incorporation of amino acids?   The charging of tRNA. cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase results in charge. ATP reacts with AA to form intermediate aminoacyl adenylate then tRNA binds  
🗑
Why would synthetase undergo editing?   To make sure tRNA is right for AA  
🗑
Role of transformylase   Only present in Pro to formylate initiator tRNA  
🗑
Energy used in each step   1. Aminoacylation: ATP to AMP. 2. Initiation: ATP and extra ATP in Euk for mRNA binding. 3. Elongation: Aminoacyl binding-GTP, tranlocation-GTP. 4. Termination: GTP  
🗑
