1 The Mechanism of Translation
2 The central dogma Francis Crick 1956 pathway for flow of genetic information Transcription Translation Duplication DNA RNA Protein 1954 Zamecnik developed the first cell-free system (rat liver extract) to perform protein synthesis Crick postulated adaptor hypothesis that the amino acid is carried to the template by an adaptor molecule, and that the adaptor is the part that actually fits onto the RNA template Zamecnik and Hoagland discovered aminoacyl synthetases, enzymes responsible for attaching amino acids to trnas before incorporation into proteins By 1961 it was known that polypeptide chains were synthesized on ribosomes, and that different trna molecules carry the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome depending on the genetic codon on the mrna.
3 Complexity of translation [amounts in one E. coli cell] Translation machinery is 35% of dry weight of cell 20,000 ribosomes 200,000 trnas 100,000 proteins and cofactors

6 The machinery responsible for translating the language of mrnas into the language of proteins is composed of four primary components: mrna provides the information for translation. The protein-coding region of the mrna consists of an ordered series of three nucleotide- long units called codon that specify the order of amino acids. trna provides the physical interface between the amino acids being added to the growing polypeptide chain and the codons in the mrna. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases couples amino acids to specific trnas that recognize the appropriate codon(s). Ribosome coordinates recognition of the mrna by each trna and catalyzes peptide-bond formation between the growing polypeptide chain and the amino acid attached to the selected trna.
7 What is the organization of nucleotide sequence information in mrna?
8 Organization of nucleotide sequence information in mrna The protein-coding region(s) of each mrna is composed of a contiguous, non-overlapping string of codons called an OPEN READING FRAME (ORF). Each ORF specifies a single protein and starts and ends at internal sites within the mrna. The first and last codons of an ORF are known as the START and STOP CODONS.
9 Organization of nucleotide sequence information in mrna START CODON In bacteria, the start codon is usually 5 -AUG-3, but 5 -GUG-3 and sometimes even 5 -UUG-3 are also used. Eukaryotic cells always use 5 -AUG-3 as the start codon. The start codon has two important functions: First, it specifies the first amino acid to be incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain. Second, it defines the reading frame for all subsequent codons.
10 Organization of nucleotide sequence information in mrna STOP CODON Stop codons, of which there are three (5 -UAG-3, 5 -UGA-3, and 5 -UAA-3 ), define the end of the ORF and signal termination of polypeptide synthesis. MONOCISTRONIC AND POLYCISTRONIC mrna Eukaryotic mrnas almost always contain a single ORF (monocistronic mrnas). In contrast, prokaryotic mrnas frequently contain two or more ORFs and consequently can encode multiple polypeptide chains (polycistronic mrnas).
11 Prokaryotic mrnas Have a Ribosome-Binding Site That Recruits the Translational Machinery Many prokaryotic ORFs contain a short sequence upstream (on the 5 side) of the start codon called the RIBOSOME-BINDING SITE (RBS) or SHINE-DALGARNO SEQUENCE (5 -GGAGG-3 ) The RBS, typically located 3 9 bp on the 5 side of the start codon, is complementary to a sequence located near the 3 end of one of the ribosomal RNA components, the 16S ribosomal RNA (rrna)
12 Eukaryotic mrnas Are Modified at Their 5 and 3 Ends to Facilitate Translation Eukaryotic mrnas recruit ribosomes using a specific chemical modification called the 5 -CAP, which is located at the extreme 5 end of the mrna. Two other features of eukaryotic mrnas stimulate translation. One feature is the presence, in some mrnas, of a purine three bases upstream of the start codon and a guanine immediately downstream (5 - G/ANNAUGG-3, KOZAK SEQUENCE). These bases are thought to interact with the initiator trna, not with an RNA component of the ribosome as in prokaryotes)
13 Eukaryotic mrnas Are Modified at Their 5 and 3 Ends to Facilitate Translation A second feature that contributes to efficient translation is the presence of a poly-a tail at the extreme 3 end of the mrna. Despite its location at the 3 end of the mrna, the poly-a tail enhances the level of translation of the mrna by enhancing the recruitment of key translation initiation factors.
14 trna structure
15 trna loops functions Every trna has the sequence ACC on the 3 to which the amino acid is attached T-loop Involved in recognition by the ribosome. D loop recognition by the aminoacyl trna synthetases that charge the appropriate amino acid Anticodon loop base pairs with the mrna codon
16 Two Coaxial stacked arms form the L-shape of trna Coaxial stacking, or helical stacking, occurs when the nucleotide bases from two separate base-paired stems stack and align to form what appears as a continuous helix. 7 bp acceptor stem in trna stacks on the 5 bp T stem to form an A- type helical arm. The D stem and anticodon stem stack to form a second helical arm
17 How do aminoacyl-trna synthetases recognize and attach the correct amino acids to each trna?
18 aminoacyl-trna charging Overall Overall reaction reaction amino acid + ATP + trna aminoacyl-trna + AMP + PPi 2-step reaction 1: amino acid is activated by adenylylation 2: amino acid is transferred to to the 3 or 2 OH of the ribose of the terminal A on trna
19 aminoacyl-trna charging Adenylylation of amino acid An O atom of the amino acid α-carboxyl attacks the P atom of the initial phosphate of ATP amino acid Transfer of AMP-high energy bond adenylylated amino acid pyrophosphate
20 aminoacyl-trna charging Product retains a high-energy bond joining the amino acid to the trna Unusual in that this is an ester linkage Provides the thermodynamic energy to drive protein synthesis Hydrolysis of PPi to 2 Pi can drive the synthesis of aminoacyl-trna Transfer of adenylylated amino acid to trna adenylylated amino acid the 2' or 3' OH of the terminal adenosine of trna attacks the amino acid carbonyl C atom high-energy bond
21 aminoacyl-trna charging Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases 20 enzymes, 1 per amino acid One synthetase for each amino acid a single synthetase may recognize multiple trnas for the same amino acid Each aa-trna synthetase: must recognize several cognate trnas several or all the trnas whose anticodons complement the codons specifying a particular amino acid must recognize the correct amino acid Two different classes of aminoacyl-trna synthetases, based on 3D structure
22 aminoacyl-trna charging trna O (terminal 3 nucleotide of appropriate trna) There are 2 families of Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases: Class I & Class II. O P O O CH 2 H H O C O 3 2 O H H OH Adenine HC R NH 3 + Aminoacyl-tRNA Two different ancestral proteins evolved into the 2 classes of aars enzymes, which differ in the architecture of their active site domains. They bind to opposite sides of the trna acceptor stem, aminoacylating a different OH of the trna (2' or 3').
23 aminoacyl-trna charging Attach aminoacyl group to 2 hydroxyl group of 3 terminal nucleotide Mostly monomeric proteins Attach aminoacyl group to 3 hydroxyl group Mostly dimeric proteins I
24 aminoacyl-trna charging Require anticodon for proper recognition Often recognize only features in the acceptor stem Synthetase interacts with base pair G10:C25 in addition to the acceptor stem and anticodon loop. Synthetase binds to both the acceptor stem and anticodon loop. Glutaminyl-tRNA Synthetase Complex Threonyl-tRNA Synthetase Complex
25 aminoacyl-trna charging acceptor discriminator stem base 3 acceptor end 5 anticodon stem anticodon loop Highly specific elements required for aa-trna synthetase recognition on BOTH business ends of the trna anticodon 3 Cocrystal structure of glutaminyl aminoacyl-trna
26 aminoacyl-trna charging Adenylylation of amino acid Transfer of adenylylated amino acid to trna
27 aminoacyl-trna charging
28 aminoacyl-trna charging Mechanism by the aminoacyl synthetase recognizes the correct amino acid 1. Enzyme preferentially binds the correct amino acid - each amino acid fits into an active site pocket in the enzyme - network of hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions so that only amino acids with a sufficient number of favorable interactions will bind Tyrosine can be distinguished by the hydroxyl group Isoleucine is larger-excluded from valrs active site Extra CH 3 on Ile provide extra kcal/mol free energy 2. Selectively edits the the incorrect amino acid
29 aminoacyl-trna charging Hydrolytic editing Flexible CCA arm of trna moves amino acid between activation site and editing site. If amino acid fits well into editing site, it is hydrolyzed from the AMP (or from the trna if aminoacyl-trna already formed)
30 aminoacyl-trna charging The frequency of mischarging is very low; typically, less than 1 in 1000 trnas is charged with the incorrect amino acid If aminoacyl-trna synthetase makes a mistake, the wrong amino acid is incorporated. Ribosome cannot discriminate between correctly and incorrectly charged trnas
31 aminoacyl-trna charging cysteinyl-trna Cys was reacted with nickel hydride, which causes desulfurization of the aminoacyl moiety, to form alanly-trna Cys In cell-free protein synthesizing system, alanyl trna Cys introduces alanines at codons specifying cysteine The protein synthesizing machinery was unable to detect that the incorrect amino acid was attached to trna Cys
32 The ribosome
33 The Ribosome The ribosome is composed of two subassemblies of RNA and protein known as the large and small subunits. The large subunit contains the PEPTIDYL TRANSFERASE CENTER, which is responsible for the formation of peptide bonds. The small subunit contains the DECODING CENTER in which charged trnas read or decode the codon units of the mrna. By convention, the large and small subunits are named according to the velocity of their sedimentation when subjected to a centrifugal force
34 The Ribosome The unit used to measure sedimentation velocity is the SVEDBERG (S; the larger the S value the faster the sedimentation velocity and the larger the molecule) In bacteria, the large subunit has a sedimentation velocity of 50 Svedberg units whereas the small subunit is called the 30S subunit. The intact prokaryotic ribosome is referred to as the 70S ribosome. Note that 70S is less than the sum of 50S and 30S! The explanation for this apparent discrepancy is that sedimentation velocity is determined by both shape and size and is not an exact measure of mass. The eukaryotic ribosome is somewhat larger, composed of 60S and 40S subunits, which together form an 80S ribosome.

51 The Ribosome The Ribosome Has Three Binding Sites for trna To perform the peptidyl transferase reaction, the ribosome must be able to bind at least two trnas simultaneously. In fact, the ribosome contains three trna-binding sites, called the A-, P-, and E-sites. The A site is the binding site for the aminoacylated-trna, The P site is the binding site for the peptidyl-trna, and The E site is the binding site for the trna that is released after the growing polypeptide chain has been transferred to the aminoacyl-trna (E is for exiting ).

66 fmet-trna trna f Met is structurally different from the "regular" trna Met fmet-trna has unique features that distinguish it as the initiator RNA The terminal bases of the acceptor arm are not paired as they are in all other trnas. It contains 3 consecutive G C base pairs in the anticodon stem.
67 fmet-trna A single MetRS aminoacylates both trna Met and trna i Met trna f Met is functionally different from the "regular" trnamet in two important ways: It is recognized by a transformylase that will catalyse the formylation of methionyl-trna f Met. Transformylase catalyses the formylation of the methionyl-trna f Met but not of methionyl-trna Met or uncharged trna. The enzyme uses N10- formyltetrahydrofolate as the formyl group donor.
68 fmet-trna In bacteria, protein synthesis starts with a special amino acid: N-formyl-methionine a peptide bond The presence of the formyl group on the methionine after it has been attached to trna f Met serves two purposes: This will be the only charged trna that is positioned in the peptidyl (P) site on the ribosome It ensures that fmet-trna f Met will not be used for internal methionine codons
