Reminder of Friday’s lecture:• Translation is the process of making protein
from an RNA template• Fidelity is affected by several steps• tRNAs are the “adapters” that translate the
4-nucleotide language of DNA/RNA into the 20-amino acid language of proteins.
• Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are ancient, but accurate enzymes.
• Ribosomes are large, complicated “machines”.

I will start with a general overview of translation (the example is eukaryotic)

The ribosome is the ribozyme that catalyzes peptide bond formation.
What other factors participate in translation, and how is the whole process orchestrated?

The ribosome is the ribozyme that catalyzes peptide bond formation.

Translation consists of three steps:1) Initiation2) Elongation3) Termination

In bacteria, the first codon in the mRNA (AUG) leads to initiation and recruitment of the formyl-methionyl tRNA
So, where does this start?
![Page 8: Protein Synthesis 2 Major topics covered: Translation: initiation, elongation and termination](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681671f550346895ddb9ef8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Base pairing between the Shine Dalgarno sequence and the 3´ end of 16S rRNA facilitates translation initiation. Consequently, the efficiency of translation initiation is determined by:
1) How well the S.D. sequence conforms to the consensus sequence that is complementary to the 3´ end of 16S rRNA.
2) The distance between the S.D. sequence and the start codon (a 7 base spacer is optimal).
How does the ribosome find the first codon?
The “Shine-Delgarno” sequence in the mRNA:

Three translation initiation factors are required (in addition to the ribosome and aa-tRNA)

High translation initiation rates lead to multiple ribosomes per message (“polysomes”)

Note of interest: ribosome occupancy on mRNA plays a major role in determining mRNA decay rate

The translation elongation cycle

Translation terminates when a stop codon
(UAA, UAG, UGA) enters the A-site
Translation termination factors:RF-1 = recognizes UAA and UAGRF-2 = recognizes UAA and UGARF-3 = G-protein; helps trigger hydrolysis
(by the 23S rRNA)RRF = liberates ribosome/release factors

Important term = molecular mimicry
Translation factors use molecular mimicry to
utilize common binding sites on the ribosome

Translation is a highly conserved process among all living things…
However, important differences exist between bacteria and eukaryotes
(e.g. you!)
![Page 19: Protein Synthesis 2 Major topics covered: Translation: initiation, elongation and termination](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681671f550346895ddb9ef8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Important difference #1: Ribosomes are substantially different
![Page 20: Protein Synthesis 2 Major topics covered: Translation: initiation, elongation and termination](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681671f550346895ddb9ef8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Consequence: translation mechanisms are different, primarily at the initiation step
Important difference #2: mRNA is very different in prokaryotes versus eukaryotes
Bacterial mRNA: lacks 5’ cap, poly-A tail not required, multiple orfs per transcript, SD sequence
eukaryotic mRNA: 7-MeG cap, poly-A tail, one orf per transcript, no sequence specific binding
![Page 21: Protein Synthesis 2 Major topics covered: Translation: initiation, elongation and termination](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5681671f550346895ddb9ef8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The structural arrangement and required factors for translation
initiation are substantially different in eukaryotes, compared to bacteria

Met-eIF2:GTP is recruited
Step 2: eIF4 proteins associate with mRNA (cap and tail) and bind 43S

Step 3: eIF5-mediated ejection of IFs and 60S binds

Translation termination in eukaryotes is
mechanistically similar to prokaryotes…
Important difference:only one release factor is
required

What have we learned (lectures 1&2)?
•tRNAs “adapt” the 4-base nucleotide code to a 20 amino acid protein code.
•Charging of tRNAs and codon:anticodon interactions are critical for fidelity.
•Ribsomes are big-big-big ribozymes… that we can now visualize in some detail.
•Translation is a complicated process that is geared to be efficient and accurate!
•Eukaryotic translation varies from prokaryotic translation most significantly at the initiation step.

We know that translation and ribosome composition varies between bacteria and eukaryotic cells
Why does this matter?

We know that translation and ribosome composition varies between bacteria and eukaryotic cells
Why does this matter?
Fungi and bacteria often occupy the same environment and battle for the same resources. Thus, they try to kill each
other
We benefit!
