Leaky Scanning

5.9K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA.  Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

From DNA to Protein

24.6K
The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein is described by the central dogma, which states that genes specify the sequence of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequence of amino acids making up all proteins. The decoding of one molecule to another is performed by specific proteins and RNAs. Because the information stored in DNA is so central to cellular function, it makes intuitive sense that the cell would make mRNA copies of this information for protein synthesis...

Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay

12.2K
The Upf proteins that carry out nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) are found in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Each protein has an individual role, but they need to work in collaboration. Upf1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that unwinds the RNA helix. Because Upf1 can unwind any RNA, Upf2 and Upf3 are required to help Upf1 discriminate between nonsense and normal mRNAs.
Usually, Upf3 binds to an Exon Junction Complex (EJC) at mRNA splice sites. If a ribosome fully translates the mRNA,...

Initiation of Translation

40.4K
Initiating translation is complex because it involves multiple molecules. Initiator tRNA, ribosomal subunits, and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are all required to assemble on the initiation codon of mRNA. This process consists of several steps that are mediated by different eIFs.
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...

Prokaryotic Gene Structure and Organization01:28

Prokaryotic Gene Structure and Organization

2.9K
Prokaryotic genomes exhibit a streamlined organization of coding and non-coding regions essential for gene expression and protein synthesis. While coding regions contain the genetic instructions for proteins or functional RNAs, non-coding regions regulate the precise transcription and translation of these genes.Coding Regions: Proteins and RNAsThe primary coding regions, known as structural genes, include sequences transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and ultimately translated into...

Resumen

El factor de liberación eucariota 1 (eRF1) reconoce los tres codones de parada. Las nuevas estructuras de microscopía criolectrónica revelan cómo eRF1 utiliza el ARN ribosomal para compactar el ARN mensajero, lo que permite una discriminación precisa de los codones de parada.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Biología molecular
  • Biología estructural
  • La genética

Sus antecedentes:

  • La terminación de la síntesis de proteínas se basa en el reconocimiento de codones de parada (UAA, UAG, UGA) en el sitio A del ribosoma.
  • Las bacterias usan factores de liberación distintos, mientras que las eucariotas emplean un único factor de liberación omnipotente (eRF1).
  • El mecanismo por el cual eRF1 distingue los codones de parada de los codones de sentido sigue sin estar claro.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Para aclarar la base molecular del reconocimiento del codón de parada eucariota por eRF1.
  • Para determinar las interacciones estructurales entre eRF1, los ribosomas y los codones de parada.

Principales métodos:

  • Se utilizó la microscopía criolectrónica (crio-EM) para obtener estructuras de alta resolución (3,5-3,8 Å).
  • Se analizaron los complejos ribosómicos de mamíferos unidos a eRF1 y cada uno de los tres codones de parada.

Principales resultados:

  • La unión a eRF1 induce un cambio de conformación en el ARN ribosomal 18S, volviendo el nucleótido A1825.
  • Este nucleótido se acumula en las bases de codones de parada segundo y tercero, compactando el ARN mensajero.
  • Una red de enlaces de hidrógeno entre los residuos de rRNA y eRF1 estabiliza aún más el reconocimiento de codones de parada.

Conclusiones:

  • El estudio proporciona un marco molecular para cómo eRF1 logra la especificidad del codón de parada eucariota.
  • eRF1 utiliza nucleótidos de ARN ribosomal, también involucrados en la selección de ARN t, para facilitar la compactación del ARN mensajero.
  • Los hallazgos ofrecen información sobre los mecanismos de terminación de la traducción canónica y prematura.
