Conformational changes in ribosomes during protein synthesis.
In a purified system containing poly(U) and ribosomal subunits from Escherichia coli, and purified transfer factors T and G, the active ribosomal complex passes through a cycle of contraction and expansion with the addition of each amino acid; aminoacyl-tRNA binding catalyzed by T produces the stable compact state, corresponding to the 70S conformation, whereas translocation with G expands the ...
متن کاملRibosomes and protein synthesis
Let us start at the very beginning. Between 1897 and 1899, G. Gamier, in France, published elegant microscope studies describing a basophilic component ofthe cytoplasm of glandular cells (1) . Because of what he thought its role might be in the elaboration and transformation of secretory products, he gave a Greek name to these concepts-ergastoplasm (work plasm) . Gamier's research was extended ...
متن کاملProtein synthesis by single ribosomes.
The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence. Ribosomes use cellular accessory proteins, soluble transfer RNAs, and metabolic energy to accomplish the initiation, elongation, and termination of peptide synthesis. In translocating processively along the mRNA template during the elongation cycle, ...
متن کاملTraffic of interacting ribosomes on mRNA during protein synthesis: effects of chemo-mechanics of individual ribosomes
Many ribosomes simultaneously move on the same messenger RNA (mRNA), each separately synthesizing the protein coded by the mRNA. Earlier models of ribosome traffic represent each ribosome by a “self-propelled particle” and capture the dynamics by an extension of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP). In contrast, here we develope a theoretical model that not only incorporates ...
متن کاملMessenger RNA and ribosomes in protein synthesis.
The Biochemical Society's Forty-Seventh Symposium, held in London in December 1981, assembled some of the leading workers in this area of biochemistry. The subjects for discussion were chosen for their timeliness and distinctiveness, and included accounts of ribosome and messenger RNA structure and function, initiation factors, caps and ribonucleoproteins, as well as consideration of the proces...
