Section 6.3
![Page 2: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
An overview:Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible in another language.
Often this means a change of script, from one we don’t understand to another we can read.
In the process of translation in a cell, the transcribed message of mRNA is translated to a totally different ‘language’, that of protein.
DNA & RNA are ‘written’ in very similar chemicals, but protein is ‘written’ in an entirely different ‘script’: amino acids.
![Page 3: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
For Translation we need:
• An ‘edited’ or ‘mature’ mRNA• Ribosomes• An unusual molecule, transfer or tRNA• Lots of available Amino Acids
![Page 4: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The overall goal:
• Use the DNA message that was copied out into mRNA to produce a polypeptide or protein.
• This is the second part of the CENTRAL DOGMA
• It relies on the GENETIC CODE.
![Page 5: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TranslationStage Events
Initiation A ribosome binds to the mRNARibosome recognizes a specific three-base
sequence on the mRNA, and binds.Elongation Ribosome moves along the strand ‘reading’ each
codon (3 nucleotides at a time)tRNA delivers the appropriate amino acids to the
ribosome for addition to the growing polypeptide chain
Ribosome catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between a.a.
Termination Transcription ceases when ribosome reaches stop codon, it falls off the mRNA (protein – release factor) and the polypeptide is released
![Page 6: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The tRNA:• Acts as a ‘taxi’ for Amino Acids
• Single stranded, but folded upon itself into a clover-like shape.
• Able to bind to Amino Acids at one end, and to mRNA at the other.
• The mRNA binding end has an ANTICODON.
• Each Anticodon codes for a different Amino Acid.
![Page 7: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The tRNA:
• Amino acids bind at the 3’ end of tRNA.
• This requires some ATP energy!
• The Anticodon binds to a complementary codon sequence on the mRNA.
• i.e. AUG codon = UAC anticodon
![Page 8: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Ribosome:
• Site of translation• Can be free in the cytoplasm, or associated with the R.E.R., Golgi Body, or Nucleolus.
• Two Subunits Lg (60S)/Sm (40S)
• Able to bind mRNA• Binds tRNA at one of three sites: E (Exit), P (Peptidyl Aminoacyl) or A (Acetyl Aminoacyl)
![Page 10: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Ribosome:• The mRNA binds in the groove between the large & small subunits.
• The first tRNA binds to the P Site.
• A second tRNA binds to the A Site.
• This brings the amino acids on each tRNA close enough to form a peptide bond.
• As the ribosome shifts down the mRNA, the first tRNA is bumped into the E site & is released.http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olc/dl/120077/micro06.swf
![Page 11: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Amino Acids:• During translation, the Amino Acids ‘meet ’ at the ribosome
• When they are brought close together (on the ribosome), the Amino Group of one reacts with the other’s Carboxyl Group.
• In a dehydration synthesis reaction, a peptide bond forms.
![Page 12: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Initiating Translation:
• mRNA binds to the Ribosome
• tRNA’s carrying amino acids arrive, binding anticodon to codon
• Peptide bond forms between Amino Acids
![Page 13: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Continuing the chain:
• The ribosome now shifts 1 codon, moving the first tRNA into the E Site, the second into the P site, and opening the A site for a new tRNA to bind.
![Page 14: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Continuing the chain:• Many ribosomes can bind to the same mRNA & translate it simultaneously, amplifying the amount of protein made.
![Page 15: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The genetic code
How exactly does the base sequence of an mRNA dictate the order of amino acids??
The genetic code
![Page 16: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reading the mRNA:• Codons in the mRNA are ‘read’ in threes
• Each three-base combination represents a specific amino acid, & matches a tRNA anticodon
• Some amino acids have only one code; others have several
• Thus, the code is redundant.
![Page 17: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

How the code works:The DNA Sequence:
TAC AAA GCC TAG GAT ACA ATT
Is translated to the mRNA sequence:
AUG UUU CGG AUC CUA UGU UAA
Which in turn encodes the following sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide:
MET—PHE—ARG—ILE—LEU—CYS—(stop)
![Page 24: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Wrapping things up:• There are three mRNA codons that signal the end of a protein
• They are called STOP CODONS: UAA, UAG, UGA
• *in DNA, these are ATT, ATC, & ACT.
• When it reaches a stop codon, the ribosome releases the mRNA, & translation ends.

“Wobble” base pairingRefers to the fact that the third base in the codon/ anticodon may not actually match
![Page 28: Section 6.3. An overview: Most commonly, what comes to mind is the process by which we take ideas expressed in one language, & make them intelligible](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f335503460f94c4f8f4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Wobble base pairing
• Allows some anticodons to bind to more than one codon
• Recall the genetic code: Multiple codons for one amino acid. Usually the third base in the codon is what differs.
• Helps overcome errors in transcription(no proofreading mechanism)

• Protein Synthesis Role Play Continued DNA students and mRNA students remain in nucleus during
transcription. After transcription, mRNA students move into cytoplasm, where tRNA students are waiting for translation.
DNA students begin by writing down the complimentary RNA sequence to their DNA sequence (transcription). They then search the nucleus for their matching mRNA student.
mRNA student then leaves the nucleus and uses the genetic code to write down the corresponding amino acids to their RNA sequence (translation). They then search the cytoplasm for their matching tRNA student.
The tRNA student then searches for the special message associated with their polypeptide chain, thus completing the task.
