20 Questions

What is the role of IF1 in the 30s complex formation?

It blocks the initiator tRNA from entering the 'A-site'

What is the role of IF2 in the 30s complex formation?

It places the initiator tRNA at P-site

Which initiation factors remain bound with the 30S subunit during 30s complex formation?

IF1 and IF3

What is the role of IF3 in the 30s complex formation?

It blocks binding of the 50s subunit with 30s subunit

What is the function of Streptomycin in inhibiting 30s complex formation?

It binds to the 16s rRNA in the 30S subunit and inhibits binding of the initiator tRNA with the start codon

What is the consequence of Streptomycin binding to the 16s rRNA in the 30S subunit?

Mis-reading of the template causes polypeptide frame shifting

What is the role of IF1 and IF2 in placing the Initiator tRNA to 'P-site'?

Both IF1 and IF2 help in placing the Initiator tRNA to 'P-site'

Which initiation factor blocks the initiator tRNA from entering the 'A-site'?

IF1

What is the consequence of mis-reading of the template during 30s complex formation?

Polypeptide frame shifting

What is the consequence of Streptomycin inhibiting binding of the initiator tRNA with the start codon?

Initiator tRNA is placed incorrectly

What is the function of IF1 in the 30s complex formation?

It blocks the initiator tRNA from entering the 'A-site'

Which initiation factor remains bound with the 30S subunit during the 30s complex formation?

IF3

What is the function of IF3 in the 30s complex formation?

It blocks binding of the 50s subunit with 30s subunit

Which initiation factor places the initiator tRNA (fmet-tRNA) at P-site during the 30s complex formation?

IF2

What is the role of both IF1 and IF2 in the 30s complex formation?

They place the initiator tRNA at P-site

Which antibiotic binds to the 16s rRNA in the 30S subunit and inhibits binding of the initiator tRNA with the start codon during the 30s complex formation?

Streptomycin

What is the consequence of streptomycin binding to the 16s rRNA during the 30s complex formation?

Initiator tRNA is placed incorrectly

Which initiation factor(s) help in blocking the binding of the 50s subunit with 30s subunit during the 30s complex formation?

IF3

Which initiation factor helps in placing the initiator tRNA to 'P-site' during the 30s complex formation?

IF2

Which initiation factor blocks the initiator tRNA from entering the 'A-site' during the 30s complex formation?

IF1

Test your knowledge on 30s complex formation and the three initiation factors required for it. Learn about the roles of IF1, IF2, and IF3 in placing the initiator tRNA in the correct position and how certain antibiotics can inhibit this process. Dive into the details of molecular biology and challenge yourself with this quiz.
