Transfer RNAs (tRNAs)
Adaptor molecules that match amino acids to codons in mRNA.
Any cell contains different types of tRNA molecules sufficient to incorporate all 20 amino acids into protein.
Some tRNAs can recognise more than one codon.
About 80 nucleotides in length.
![Page 11: Gene Expression -Translation-](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62738ab006ba937dde6a3d62/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Structures of tRNAs
All tRNAs share a general common structure that includes:
• an anticodon triplet loop(pairs with mRNA codons)
• an acceptor stem(to which the amino acid is attached)
![Page 12: Gene Expression -Translation-](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62738ab006ba937dde6a3d62/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Coupling of amino acids to tRNAs
1. The amino acid is accepted by the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzyme and is adenylated
2. The proper tRNA is accepted by the enzyme and the amino acid residue is transferred to the 2’ or 3’ OH of the 3’-terminal residue of the RNA
All reactions occur on the synthetase enzyme.

The Two Steps of Decoding
The genetic code is translated by means of two adaptors that act one after another.
![Page 15: Gene Expression -Translation-](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62738ab006ba937dde6a3d62/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Procaryotic Ribosome
Synthesises polypeptides under the direction of mRNA templates
Translation = decoding of the information written in RNA into the amino acid sequence of the protein

The Mechanism of TranslationElongation in Procaryotes (1)
E = exit site
P = peptidyl binding site
A = aminoacyl binding site

The Mechanism of TranslationElongation in Procaryotes (4)
Translocation of peptidyl tRNA from A site to P site. Ribosome moves one codon to the right, and the now uncharged tRNA moves from P site to E site.
![Page 21: Gene Expression -Translation-](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050611/62738ab006ba937dde6a3d62/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Mechanism of TranslationElongation in Procaryotes (5)
Ribosome is ready to start another cycle.
The cycles will continue until a termination codon is reached.

The Regulation of Protein Synthesis
When translation is regulated, it is generally done at the initiation state:
1. The tertiary structure of the mRNA can prevent its attachment to the ribosomal subunit
2. Proteins may bind to the mRNA, blocking initiation
3. Anti-sense RNA may block initiation

Codon UsageOrganisms have preferred codons for each amino acidFor a given organism, some codons are used very often, while others are used rarelyThis codon preference is a unique trait of the organismCodon preference can be used to determine whether a newly sequenced region actually encodes a gene

Structure of Procaryotic mRNAs
mRNA has also regions that do not encode for a protein
Shine-Dalgarno sequence (SD) = Ribosome Binding Site (RBS)
The first AUG after SD-sequence is interpreted as the start site of translation
