From RNA to Protein

Nucleic Acid to Protein
• How does the information in codons of mRNA get translated into amino acids in polypeptides?
• Through adapter molecules:tRNA
• tRNA has anticodon that base pairs with the codon in mRNA and carries an amino acid corresponding to that codon.

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs)
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.
Short, about 80 nucleotides in length.
Complex secondary and tertiary structures.
Folding follows rules – complementary base pairs
Stems and loopsContain non-standard base pairsContain modified bases

What is the correspondence between the mRNA nucleotides and the amino
acids of the protein?Proteins are formed from 20 amino acids in humans.
Codons of one nucleotide:AGCU
Can only encode 4 amino acids
Codons of two nucleotides:AA GA CA UAAG GG CG UGAC GC CC UCAU GU CU UU
Can only encode16 amino acids

Note that 3rd Base Position is Variable
The genetic code is nearly universal.

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.

Translation – where all the guys from the last hour come together…
Initiation - translation begins at start codon (AUG methionine)
Elongation - the ribosome uses the tRNA anticodon to match codons to amino acids and adds those amino acids to the growing peptide chain
Termination - translation ends at the stop codonUAA, UAG or UGA
