Cell
|November 1, 1980
Resumen
El trifosfato de adenosina (ATP) alimenta la migración de las subunidades ribosómicas 40S a lo largo del ARN mensajero (ARNm). Sin ATP, estas subunidades se detienen cerca del ARNm.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- El inicio de la traducción eucariota implica la unión de la subunidad ribosómica 40S al ARNm.
- El modelo de exploración propone que las subunidades 40S se muevan a lo largo del ARNm para encontrar el codón inicial.
- El papel del ATP en este proceso de escaneo sigue siendo incompletamente entendido.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el requisito de ATP para la migración de la subunidad ribosómica 40S en el ARNm.
- Para proporcionar evidencia a favor o en contra del modelo de escaneo dependiente de ATP de iniciación de la traducción.
Principales métodos:
- Desarrolló dos ensayos: un ensayo de escorrentía de dos pasos y un ensayo de protección de ARNm etiquetado con extremo 3'.
- Utilizado el ARNm del reovirus y el ARNm del virus del mosaico del bromo con ribosomas de germen de trigo.
- Empleó el antibiótico edeína para inhibir la adición de ribosomas y hexokinasa para agotar el ATP.
Principales resultados:
- La adición de ATP permitió la disociación de complejos de ARNm-subunidad 40S preformados (ensayo de escorrentía).
- Las subunidades 40S migraron al extremo 3' del ARNm etiquetado de una manera dependiente del ATP.
- El agotamiento de ATP impidió la migración de la subunidad 40S, atrapándola cerca de la terminal 5'.
Conclusiones:
- La migración de la subunidad ribosómica 40S en el ARNm es un proceso dependiente del ATP.
- Los hallazgos apoyan el modelo de escaneo, prediciendo que el ATP es esencial para el movimiento hacia el codón de inicio.
- El agotamiento de ATP lleva a que las subunidades 40S se acumulen aguas arriba de los codones AUG.

Ribosomes
Ribosomes translate genetic information encoded by messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes. Cells that synthesize large quantities of protein—such as secretory cells in the human pancreas—can contain millions of ribosomes.Ribosome Structure and AssemblyRibosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotes, rRNA is transcribed from genes in the nucleolus—a part of the nucleus that specializes in ribosome production. Within the...
Ribosomal RNA Synthesis
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...
