Study Notes
Protein Synthesis Overview
- mRNA carries instructions from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
- The P site on the ribosome is responsible for the initiation of protein synthesis.
- Key steps in protein synthesis include initiation, elongation, and termination, while any step outside these is not part of the process.
tRNA and Ribosomal RNA
- tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome, matching them to the codons on mRNA.
- rRNA is a structural component of ribosomes, essential for their function.
Protein Synthesis Products
- The end product of protein synthesis is a polypeptide chain that folds into a functional protein.
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and each amino acid is encoded by a specific codon.
Codons and Genetic Code
- A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.
- The genetic code is universal, with specific codons representing the same amino acids across different organisms.
Stop Codons and Mutations
- Stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) signal the termination of protein synthesis.
- Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insufficient insulin production.
- A missense mutation causes a change in the amino acid due to a base alteration.
Antibiotics and Their Effects on Protein Synthesis
- Certain antibiotics inhibit protein synthesis by targeting specific ribosomal subunits:
- Streptomycin binds to the 30S subunit, inhibiting incoming tRNA to the A site.
- Chloramphenicol binds to the 50S subunit, interfering with peptide bond formation.
- Puromycin acts as a premature terminator of protein synthesis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
C-Peptide and Diabetes
- C-peptide levels can help differentiate between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes; low levels indicate Type 1 diabetes.
- Very low C-peptide levels suggest low endogenous insulin production.
Peptide Bonds and Modifications
- A peptide bond links amino acids, forming the backbone of proteins.
- R-group modifications to proteins include phosphorylation and glycosylation, which affect protein function.
Characteristics of Mutations
- A nonsense mutation leads to a premature stop in protein synthesis.
- Alterations in the third base of a codon often result in silent mutations without changing the amino acid.
Energy Consumption
- Translation, the process of protein synthesis, consumes approximately 90% of a cell's energy, requiring 4 ATP molecules per amino acid added to the chain.
Glycosylation
- "O-linked" glycosylation occurs in the Golgi apparatus and primarily involves serine and threonine residues in proteins.
