Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary A protein’s primary structure is its amino acid sequence Refer to Figure 13.7 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-34 The amino acid sequence of the enzyme lysozyme Within the cell, the protein will not be found in this linear state Rather, it will adapt a compact 3-D structure 129 amino acids long Figure 13.7 Indeed, this folding can begin during translation The progression from the primary to the 3-D structure is dictated by the amino acid sequence within the polypeptide Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-35 Levels of Structures in Proteins The primary structure of a protein folds to form regular, repeating shapes known as secondary structures There are two types of secondary structures a helix b sheet Certain amino acids are good candidates for each structure These are stabilized by the formation of hydrogen bonds Refer to Figure 13.8 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-36 Levels of Structures in Proteins The short regions of secondary structure in a protein fold into a three-dimensional tertiary structure Refer to Figure 13.8 This is the final conformation of proteins that are composed of a single polypeptide Structure determined by hydrophobic and ionic interactions as well as hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals interactions Proteins made up of two or more polypeptides have a quaternary structure This is formed when the various polypeptides associate together to make a functional protein Refer to Figure 13.8 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Recognizing a 3-base codon in mRNA 2. Carrying an amino acid that is specific for that codon Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-42 Recognition Between tRNA and mRNA During mRNA-tRNA recognition, the anticodon in tRNA binds to a complementary codon in mRNA tRNAs are named according to the amino acid they bear The anticodon is anti-parallel to the codon Figure 13.10 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-43 tRNAs Share Common Structural Features The secondary structure of tRNAs exhibits a cloverleaf pattern It contains Three stem-loop structures; Variable region An acceptor stem and 3’ single strand region The actual three-dimensional or tertiary structure involves additional folding In addition to the normal A, U, G and C nucleotides, tRNAs commonly contain modified nucleotides More than 60 of these can occur Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-51 Found in all tRNAs Not found in all tRNAs Other variable sites are shown in blue as well Figure 13.12 Structure of tRNA The modified bases are: I = inosine mI = methylinosine T = ribothymidine UH2 = dihydrouridine m2G = dimethylguanosine y = pseudouridine 13-52 1.The acceptor stem is a 7-base pair (bp) stem made by the base pairing of the 5'terminal nucleotide with the 3'-terminal nucleotide (which contains the CCA 3'terminal group used to attach the amino acid). The CCA tail This sequence is important for the recognition of tRNA by enzymes and critical in translation. In prokaryotes, In most prokaryotic tRNAs and eukaryotic tRNAs, the CCA sequence is added during processing and therefore does not appear in the tRNA gene The D arm is a 4 bp stem ending in a loop that often contains dihydrouridine. The anticodon arm is a 5-bp stem whose loop contains the anticodon. The T arm is a 5 bp stem containing the sequence TΨC where Ψ is a pseudouridine. Charging of tRNAs The enzymes that attach amino acids to tRNAs are known as aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases There are 20 types One for each amino acid Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze a two-step reaction involving three different molecules Amino acid, tRNA and ATP Refer to Figure 13.13 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-53 Charging of tRNAs The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are responsible for the “second genetic code” The selection of the correct amino acid must be highly accurate or the polypeptides may be nonfunctional Error rate is less than one in every 100,000 Sequences throughout the tRNA including but not limited to the anticodon are used as recognition sites Many modified bases are used as markers Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-54 The amino acid is attached to the 3’ end by an ester bond Figure 13.13 13-55 tRNAs and the Wobble Rule As mentioned earlier, the genetic code is degenerate With the exception of serine, arginine and leucine, this degeneracy always occurs at the codon’s third position To explain this pattern of degeneracy, Francis Crick proposed in 1966 the wobble hypothesis In the codon-anticodon recognition process, the first two positions pair strictly according to the A – U /G – C rule However, the third position can actually “wobble” or move a bit Thus tolerating certain types of mismatches Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-56 tRNAs that can recognize the same codon are termed isoacceptor tRNAs inosine 5-methyl-2-thiouridine 5-methyl-2’-O-methyluridine 2’-O-methyluridine 5-methyluridine 5-hydroxyuridine lysidine Figure 13.14 Wobble position and base pairing rules Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Permission required for reproduction or display 13-65 The Translation Initiation Stage The mRNA, initiator tRNA, and ribosomal subunits associate to form an initiation complex This process requires three Initiation Factors The initiator tRNA recognizes the start codon in mRNA In bacteria, this tRNA is designated tRNAfmet It carries a methionine that has been covalently modified to N-formylmethionine The start codon is AUG, but in some cases GUG or UUG In all three cases, the first amino acid is N-formylmethionine Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-66 The binding of mRNA to the 30S subunit is facilitated by a ribosomal-binding site or Shine-Dalgarno sequence This is complementary to a sequence in the 16S rRNA Component of the 30S subunit Hydrogen bonding Figure 13.19 Figure 13.18 outlines the steps that occur during translational initiation in bacteria Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Permission required for reproduction or display 13-69 The Translation Initiation Stage In eukaryotes, the assembly of the initiation complex is similar to that in bacteria However, additional factors are required Note that eukaryotic Initiation Factors are denoted eIF Refer to Table 13.7 The initiator tRNA is designated tRNAmet It carries a methionine rather than a formylmethionine Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-70 The start codon for eukaryotic translation is AUG It is usually the first AUG after the 5’ Cap The consensus sequence for optimal start codon recognition is show here Most important positions for codon selection C C A U G G -2 -1 +1 +2 +3 +4 These rules are called Kozak’s rules G C C (A/G) -6 -5 -4 -3 Start codon After Marilyn Kozak who first proposed them With that in mind, the start codon for eukaryotic translation is usually the first AUG after the 5’ Cap! Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-71 Translational initiation in eukaryotes can be summarized as such: A number of initiation factors bind to the 5’ cap in mRNA These are joined by a complex consisting of the 40S subunit, tRNAmet, and other initiation factors The entire assembly moves along the mRNA scanning for the right start codon Once it finds this AUG, the 40S subunit binds to it The 60S subunit joins This forms the 80S initiation complex Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-72 The Translation Elongation Stage During this stage, the amino acids are added to the polypeptide chain, one at a time In bacteria 15-18 amino acids per second In eukaryotes 6 amino acids per second Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-73 The 23S rRNA (a component of the large subunit) is the actual peptidyl transferase Thus, the ribosome is a ribozyme!

Permission required for reproduction or display 13-75 The Translation Elongation Stage 16S rRNA (a part of the 30S ribosomal subunit) plays a key role in codon-anticodon recognition It can detect an incorrect tRNA bound at the A site It will prevent elongation until the mispaired tRNA is released This phenomenon is termed the decoding function of the ribosome It is important in maintaining the high fidelity in mRNA translation Error rate: 1 mistake per 10,000 amino acids added Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-76 The Translation Termination Stage The final stage occurs when a stop codon is reached in the mRNA In most species there are three stop or nonsense codons UAG UAA UGA These codons are not recognized by tRNAs, but by proteins called release factors Indeed, the 3-D structure of release factors mimics that of tRNAs Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 13-77 The Translation Termination Stage Bacteria have three release factors RF1, which recognizes UAA and UAG RF2, which recognizes UAA and UGA RF3, which does not recognize any of the three codons It binds GTP and helps facilitate the termination process Eukaryotes only have one release factor eRF, which recognizes all three stop codons Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
