Overview of Translation1) Messenger RNA moves from the
nucleus to the cytoplasm and attaches to the ribosome.
![Page 3: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
2) As the ribosome moves along the, mRNA, tRNAs with their anticodons (matching the mRNA codons) carry the proper amino acids to the ribosomes.
The first codon is the start
codon (AUG). The tRNA
with the anticodon UAC
carries the amino acid
methionine.

3) As two amino acids are brought side-by-side, they bond by a condensation reaction (dehydration synthesis).

4) The tRNA that held the first amino acid leaves.

The ribosome continues to move along the mRNA, while a new tRNA brings the next amino acid into place.
6) This continues until the “stop” codon is reached.
(The protein is then processed for use in, or out of the cell.)

A More Detailed Look at Translation
![Page 9: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Steps in Translation• Initiation
• Elongation
• Termination
![Page 10: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Ribosome Binding sites
• There are three binding sites on the ribosome:
• One holds mRNA so codons are accessible.
• The other two hold tRNAs.
![Page 11: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The binding sites that hold tRNAs are the “A” site and the “P” site.
![Page 12: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Initiation 1) The smaller ribosome unit attaches to
the mRNA strand (at the methyl guanine MG cap.)
Many ribosomes may bond to the same mRNA. This is called a polysome.)
![Page 13: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2) The first tRNA attaches at the start codon. Its three-base anticodon matches the mRNA codon. At the other end is the attachment point for the Amino acid.
![Page 14: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3) A transfer RNA with an amino acids is called a charged amino acid. (An enzyme and ATP bind to the correct amino acid to the transfer RNA molecule. At that point it is ready to carry the amino acid to its correct place in the growing polypeptide chain.)
![Page 15: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4) The larger ribosome subunit attaches to the smaller one (with the energy from GTP or guanosine triphosphate). The Ribosome is complete at this point and protein synthesis can proceed.
![Page 16: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Elongation1) The amino acid-charged tRNA that corresponds
to the next mRNA codon binds to the A site on the ribosome.
2) A peptide bond forms between two adjacent amino acids. (condensation reaction)
![Page 17: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3) The ribosome moves along the mRNA and the process continues. The previous tRNA leaves.
The ribosome moves along so that the next tRNA has now moved from the A to the P site. Another charges tRNA brings an amino acid to the growing protein chain.
![Page 18: Protein Synthesis: Translation Making the Protein from the Code.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f175503460f94c2dc4e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Termination1) Elongation continues until
the “stop codon” is reached.
2) A special protein binds to the stop codon at the A site.
3) The newly-formed polypeptide is released. The tRNAs are released. The two ribosome subunits separate.

Where do the Proteins Go?• Proteins formed at the ribosomes, free in the
cytosol, are used within the cell.
• Proteins formed at the R.E.R. (rough endoplasmic reticulum) are transported out of the cell.

Transport and Modification
• The first few amino acids provide the direction that proteins will travel within the cell. It is known as the signal sequence.
• The polypeptide chain may be modified so that it can function properly. It may be cut into smaller segments, or a portion may be removed with special enzymes.
