Codon-anticodon interaction
In the cleft of the ribosome, an anti-parallel formation of three base pairs occurs between the codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA.
Some highly purified tRNA molecules were found to interact with more than one codon, and this ability is correlated with the presence of modified nucleosides in the 5’-anticodon position, particularly inosine (次黄嘌呤) (formed by post-transcriptional processing of adenosine by anticodon deaminase)
Wobble
5'-anticodon base is able to undergo more movement than the other two bases and can thus form non-standard base pairs as long as the distances between the ribose units are close to normal.
To explain the redundancy of the genetic code. 18 aa are encoded by more than one triplet codons which usually differ at 5’-anticodin base
All possible base pairings at the wobble position
No purine-purine or pyrimidine-pyrimidine base pairs are allowed as ribose distances would be incorrect (Neat!).
U is not found as 5’-anticodon base
Wobble pairing: non Waston-crick base paring
Ribosome binding site (Shine-Dalgarno sequence)
• Solely for prokaryotic translation• A purine-rich sequence usually
containing all or part of the sequence 5'-AGGAGGU-3'
• Upstream of the initiation codon in prokaryotic mRNA
• To position the ribosome for initiation of protein synthesis
Shine-Delgarno element
Polysomes
• Each mRNA transcript is read simultaneously by more than one ribosome.
• A second, third, fourth, etc. ribosome starts to read the mRNA transcript before the first ribosome has completed the synthesis of one polypeptide chain.
• Multiple ribosomes on a single mRNA transcript are called polyribosomes or polysomes.
• Multiple ribosomes can not be positioned closer than 80 nt.

Initiator tRNA
• Methionine ( 甲硫氨酸 )is the first amino acids incorporated into a protein chain in both prokaryotes (modified to N-formylmethionine) and eukaryotes.
• Initiator tRNAs are special tRNAs recognizing the AUG (GUG) start codons in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
• Initiator tRNAs differ from the one that inserts internal Met residues.

Lacking alkylated A endorses more flexibility in recognition in base pairing (both AUG and GUG).
Initiator tRNA formation in E. coli
1. Both initiator tRNA and noninitiator tRNAmet are charged with Met by the same methionyl-tRNA synthetase to give the methionyl-tRNA
2. Only the initiator methionyl-tRNA is modified by transformylase to give N-formylmethionyl-tRNAfmet.

8.2: Mechanism of protein synthesis
(Prokaryote)Protein synthesis falls into three stages .1.initiation-the assembly of a ribosome on
an mRNA molecule.2.elongation-repeated cycles of amino acid
addition.3.termination-the release of the new protein
chain.
Initiation
In prokaryotes, initiation requires • the large and small ribosome
subunits,• the mRNA • the initiator tRNA • three initiation factors .
Size comparisons show that the ribosome is large enough to bind tRNAs and mRNA.
IF1 and IF3 bind to a free 30S subunits.
IF2 complexed with GTP then bind to the small subunits, forming a complex at RBS.
The initiator tRNA can then bind to the complex at the P site paired with AUG codon.
The 50S subunits can now bind. GTP is then hydrolyzed and IFs are released to give the 70S initiation complex
30S initiation complex
The assembled ribosome has two tRNA-binding sites, which are called A- and P-site, for aminoacyl(氨酰基位点) and peptidyl sites (肽酰基位点) respectively.Only fMet-tRNAfMet can be used for initiation by 30S subunits; all other aminoacyl-tRNAs are used for elongation by 70S ribosomes.
Elongation
With the formation of the 70S initiation complex, the elongation cycle can begin.
Elongation involves the three factors, EF-Tu, EF-Ts, EF-G, as well as GTP, charged tRNA and the 70S initiation complex.
The three steps of elongation
1.Charged tRNA is delivered as a complex with EF-Tu and GTP .(进位反应)
2.Peptidyl tranferase (肽酰基转移酶) (50S ribosomal subunit) makes a peptide bond by joining the two adjacent amino acid without the input of more energy. (转肽反应)
3.Translocase (EF-G), with the energy from GTP, moves the ribosome one codon along the mRNA, ejecting the uncharged tRNA and transferred the ribosome peptide from the mRNA. (移位反应)
EF-Tu-Ts exchange cycle
Peptide bond formation takes place by reaction between the polypeptide of peptidyl-tRNA in the P site and the amino acid of aminoacyl-tRNA in the A site.
Translocation• In bacteria, the discharged tRNA leaves the ribosome via another site, the E site. • In eukaryotes, the discharged tRNA is expelled directly into the cytosol.• EF-G (translocase) and GTP binds to the ribosome, and the discharged tRNA is ejected from the P-site in an energy consuming step.• the peptigly-tRNA is moved from A-site to P-site and mRNA moves by one codon relative to the ribosome
Translocation in E. coli E-siteE-site
P-siteP-siteA-siteA-site
TerminationProtein factors called release factors interact with stop codon and cause release of completed polypeptide chain.
RF1 and RF2 recognizes the stop codon with the help of RF3
The release factors make peptidyl transferase transfer the polypeptide to water, and thus the protein is released
Release factors and EF-G: remove the uncharged tRNA and release the mRNA,.
8.3: Initiation in eukaryotes
Most of the differences in the mechanism of protein between prokaryotes and eukaryotes occur in the initiation stage, where a greater numbers of eIFs and a scanning process are involed in eukaryotes.
The eukaryotic initiator tRNA does not become N-formylated.
真核细胞蛋白质合成的起始 真核细胞蛋白质合成起始复合物的形成中需要更多的起始因子参与,因此起始过程也更复杂。 ( 1 )需要特异的起始 tRNA即, -tRNAfmet,并且不需要N 端甲酰化。已发现的真核起始因子有近 10种( eukaryote Initiation factor,eIF) ( 2 )起始复合物形成在 mRNA5’ 端 AUG上游的帽子结构,(除某些病毒 mRNA外)
( 3 ) ATP水解为 ADP供给 mRNA结合所需要的能量。真核细胞起始复合物的形成过程是:翻译起始也是由 eIF-3结合在 40S小亚基上而促进 80S核糖体解离出 60S大亚基开始,同时 eIF-2在辅 eIF-2作用下,与 Met-tRNAfmet及 GTP结合,再通过 eIF-3 及 eIF-4C的作用,先结合到 40S小亚基,然后再与 mRNA结合。
mRNA结合到 40S小亚基时,除了 eIF-3 参加外,还需要 eIF-1 、 eIF-4A 及eIF-4B并由 ATP小解为 ADP 及 Pi来供能,通过帽结合因子与 mRNA的帽结合而转移到小亚基上。但是在 mRNA5’ 端并未发现能与小亚基 18SRNA配对的 S-D 序列。目前认为通过帽结合后, mRNA在小亚基上向下游移动而进行扫描,可使 mRNA上的起始密码 AUG 在 Met-tRNAfmet的反密码位置固定下来,进行翻译起始。

Scanning
The eukaryotic 40s ribosome submit complex bind to the 5’cap region of the mRNA and moves along it scanning for an AUG start codon.
Eukaryotic ribosomes migrate from the 5’end of mRNA to the ribosome binding site, which includes an AUG initiation codon.
Initiation
In contrast to the events in prokaryotes, initiation involves the initiation tRNA binding to the 40S subuits before it can bind to the mRNA. Phosphorylation of eIf2, which delivers the initiation tRNA, is an important control point.

Elongation
The protein synthesis elongation cycle in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is quite similar.
The factors EF-Tu EF-Ts EF-G have direct eukaryotic equivalents called eEF1α eEF1βγ eEF2
Termination
Eukaryotes use only one release factors eRF, which requires GTP,recognize all three termination codons.
Termination codon is one of three (UAG, UAA, UGA) that causes protein synthesis to terminate.
8.4: Translational control and post-translational
events• Translational control• Polyproteins• Protein targeting• Protein modification• Protein degradation
Translational control
• In prokaryotes, the level of translation of different cistrons can be affected by: (a) the binding of short antisense molecules, (b) the relative stability to nucleases of parts of the polycistronic mRNA , (c) the binding of proteins that prevent ribosome access.
In eukaryotes, 1. protein binding can also mask the mRNA
and prevent translation, 2. repeats of the sequence 5'-AUUUA -3' can
make the mRNA unstable and less frequently translated.
Polyprotein
• A single translation product that is cleaved to generate two or more separate proteins is called a polyprotein. Many viruses produce polyprotein.
Protein targeting
• The ultimate cellular location of proteins is often determined by specific, relatively short amino acid sequence within the proteins themselves. These sequences can be responsible for proteins being secreted, imported into the nucleus or targeted to other organelles.
Prokaryotic protein targeting: secretion
Eukaryotic protein targeting
• Targeting in eukaryotes is necessarily more complex due to the multitude of internal compartments:
• There are two basic forms of targeting pathways
2.1.
The secretory pathwayin eukaryotes (co-translational targeting)
• The signal sequence of secreted proteins causes the translating ribosome to bind factors that make the ribosome dock with a membrane and transfer the protein through the membrane as it is synthesized. Usually the signal sequence is then cleaved off by signal peptidase.
Protein modification
• Cleavage:– To remove signal
peptide – To release mature
fragments from polyproteins
– To remove internal peptide as well as trimming both N-and C-termini
• Covalent modification:– Acetylation; – Hydroxylation;– Phosphorylation;– Methylation;– Glycosylation;– Addition of nucleotides.
Phosphorylation
Protein degradation
• Different proteins have very different half-lives. Regulatory proteins tend to turn over rapidly and cells must be able to dispose of faulty and damaged proteins.
Faulty and damaged proteins are attached to ubiquitins (ubiquitinylation).
The ubiquitinylated protein is digested by a 26S protease complex (proteasome) in a reaction that requires ATP and releases intact ubiquitin for re-use.
Protein degradation: process
• In eukaryotes, it has been discovered that the N-terminal residue plays a critical role in inherent stability.– 8 N-terminal aa correlate with stability:
