    Study Notes

    Codons

    • There are 64 codons.
    • 61 codons code for 20 amino acids.
    • 3 codons are non-sense codons or termination codons (UAA, UAG, UGA).

    Initiation Codon

    • AUG codes for methionine and acts as the initiation codon for translation.

    Translation Process

    • Translation requires initiation, elongation and termination steps.
    • Initiation: Involves initiation factors (IF).
    • Elongation: Involves elongation factors (EF).
    • Termination: Involves releasing factors (RF).
    • Energy Sources: ATP & GTP.

    Activation of Amino Acids

    • Amino acids must be activated before translation.
    • Amino acids bind to specific tRNA molecules via an ester bond.
    • This process is called aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis.

    Termination

    • Elongation continues until the A site is occupied by a non-sense codon (UAA, UAG, UGA).
    • This signals the termination of translation.

    Energy Needs

    • Four high energy phosphate bonds are cleaved for each new peptide bond formed:
      • 2 ATP: Used for activation of amino acids.
      • 1 GTP: Used for binding aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site.
      • 1 GTP: Used for translocation.

    Translation Overview

    • mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.
    • tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
    • Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
    • Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase connects specific amino acids to their corresponding tRNA molecules.

    Ribosome Formation and Function

    • Prokaryotic ribosomes are composed of a 30S and a 50S subunit, which assemble to form a 70S ribosome.
    • The formation of a peptide bond is catalyzed by peptidyl transferase, an enzyme located within the 60S subunit.
    • Following the formation of a peptide bond, the ribosome moves three nucleotides along the mRNA towards the 3' end.

    Energy Requirements

    • Four high-energy phosphate bonds are cleaved for each new peptide bond formed:
      • Two ATP molecules are required for amino acid activation.
      • One GTP molecule is used for the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site.
      • One GTP molecule is used for translocation.

    Polyribosomes

    • Multiple ribosomes can translate a single mRNA molecule simultaneously, forming a polyribosome (or polysome).
    • This process allows for the production of many polypeptides from a single mRNA molecule, increasing protein synthesis efficiency.
