What distinguishes the charged initiator tRNA, Met-tRNAi, in eukaryotes from other Met-tRNAs?
What distinguishes the charged initiator tRNA, Met-tRNAi, in eukaryotes from other Met-tRNAs?
- It cannot bind to the 5′ cap of mRNA.
- It does not require the 60S subunit for translation initiation.
- It binds fMet at the Shine-Dalgarno sequence.
- It can bind IFs. (correct)
What role does the cap-binding protein (CBP) play in eukaryotic translation initiation?
What role does the cap-binding protein (CBP) play in eukaryotic translation initiation?
- Directly binds to the 5′ cap of mRNA.
- Releases dissociated tRNAs from the E site.
- Assists in the deposition of charged tRNA at the Shine-Dalgarno sequence.
- Facilitates the movement of the ribosome to the AUG start codon. (correct)
What is the significance of the 7-methylguanosine cap at the 5′ end of mRNA in eukaryotic translation initiation?
What is the significance of the 7-methylguanosine cap at the 5′ end of mRNA in eukaryotic translation initiation?
- Indicates the first AUG start codon.
- Helps in tracking along the mRNA from 5′ to 3′ direction. (correct)
- It directly binds to IFs for translation initiation.
- Acts as a recognition site for charged initiator tRNA.
