![Page 14: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One mechanism for maintaining high fidelity of proteinsynthesis is the high fidelity of aa-tRNA synthetases
![Page 15: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Amino-acyl tRNA synthetases:
One synthetase for each amino acida single synthetase may recognize multiple tRNAsfor the same amino acid
Two classes of synthetase. Different 3-dimensional structuresDiffer in which side of the tRNA they recognize and how they bind ATP
Class I - monomeric, acylates the 2’OH on the terminal riboseArg, Cys , Gln, Glu, Ile, Leu, Met, Trp Tyr, Val
Class II - dimeric, acylate the 3’OH on the terminal riboseAla, Asn, Asp, Gly, His, Lys, Phe, Ser, Pro, Thr

Two levels of control to ensure that the proper amino acidis incorporated into protein: 1) Charging of the proper tRNA
![Page 17: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2) Matching the cognate tRNA to the messenger RNA

Ribosome Assembly
The proteins of each ribosomal subunitare organized aroundrRNA molecules
16S rRNA
![Page 24: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ribosome Assembly: takes place largely in a specialized domain ofthe nucleus, the nucleolus
![Page 25: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Ribosomal Proteins decorate the surface of the ribosome
Large subunit. Grey = rRNA Gold = ribosomal proteins
![Page 30: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ribosomal proteins often have extensions that snake into the core of the rRNA structure
Crystal structure of L19 L15 (yellow) positioned in a fragmentof the rRNA (red)
![Page 31: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The ribosomal proteins are important for maintaining the stability and integrity of the ribosome, but NOT for catalysis
ie. the ribosomal RNA acts as a ribozyme
![Page 32: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Mitochondrialor Prokaryotic
Eukaryotic 60S subunit 80S ribosome 40S subunit
The large and small subunits come together to form the ribosome
![Page 33: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The association of the large and small subunits creates the structural features on the ribosome that are essential for protein synthesis
Three tRNA bindingsites:A site = amino-acyltRNA binding site
P site = peptidyl-tRNAbinding site
E site = exit site
![Page 34: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In addition to the APE sites there is an mRNA binding groovethat holds onto the message being translated
![Page 35: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
There is a tunnel through the large subunit that allows thegrowing polypeptide chain to pass out of the ribosome
![Page 36: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Initiation of Translation
Initiation is controlled differently in prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes
In prokaryotes a single transcript can give rise to multiple proteins
![Page 48: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
In prokaryotes, specific sequences in the mRNA aroundthe AUG codon, calledShine-Delgarno sequences,are recognized by an intiationcomplex consisting of a Metamino-acyl tRNA, Initiation Factors (IFs) and the smallribosomal subunit
![Page 49: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
GTP hydrolysis by IF2 coincident with release of the IFs and binding of the largeribosomal subunit leads to formation of a completeribosome,on the mRNAand ready to translate.

Messenger RNAs are translated on polyribosomes
![Page 55: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Protein synthesis is often regulated at the level of translation initiation
![Page 56: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
An example of control of specific mRNAs: regulation by iron (Fe):
Ferritin is a cytosolic iron binding protein expressed wheniron is abundant in the cell.
Transferrin receptor is a plasma membrane receptor important for the import of iron into the cytosol.
They are coordinately regulated, in opposite directions, bycontrol of protein synthesis.
![Page 57: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Regulation by iron (Fe):
![Page 58: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
There is also general control of translational initiation.
ie. all transcripts of the cell are effected (though the relativeeffect differs between specific mRNAs)
Global downregulation or upregulation can occur in response to various stimuli the most common are
1) Nutrient availabilitylow nutrient (amino acids/carbohydrate) downregulates translation
2) Growth factor signals.stimulation of cell division upregulates translation
![Page 59: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
General control of translational initiation is exerted throughtwo primary mechanisms.
Control of the phosphorylation of eIF2
Control of the phosphorylation of eIF4 binding proteins
![Page 60: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Control of translation by eIF2 phosphorylation
Stimulated byAmino acid deprivation

Poliovirus Life Cycle
![Page 65: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
The poliovirus genome is translated into a single,large polyprotein that then auto-proteolyzes itself intosmaller proteins.
One of these proteins, viral protease 2A cleavesthe translation initiation factor eIF4G so that it can no longer function as a bridge between themethyl cap binding subunit and the 40S subunit
![Page 66: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
The consequence of this cleavage is that translation of cellular mRNAs stops
But…the viral RNA is still translated due to the presence ofan internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). This acts like a bacterial initiation site to allow Cap-independent initiationfrom internal AUG codons.
What is X?

“X” is not a protein, as suggestedby the textbook model at right,rather it is a structure in the mRNAitself that can bind to the remainingfragment of eIF4G

Some cellular mRNAs are also translated using IRESs
During G2/M phase of the cell cycle, translation is generallydownregulated by activation of 4E-BPs. Many proteins expressedduring this period bypass this control by using IRES elements

Ribosomal Frameshifting
Because translationuses a triplet code,there are three potentialreading frames in each mRNA
![Page 70: Protein Synthesis Biology 12 Mr. McIntyre. Translation: From messenger RNA to protein: The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to messenger](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56649d8c5503460f94a742ff/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
As the ribosome translocates, it moves in three nucleotidesteps, ensuring that the frame defined by the AUG is usedthroughout translation
If the ribosome moves 1 or 2 (or 4 or 5) nucleotidesthis produces a frameshift

Many retroviruses induce ribosomal frameshifting in the synthesis of viral proteins
e.g. HIV
