which of the following is not involved in the initiation of translation in bacteria

a- mRNA

b- tRNA carrying N-formylmethionine that will occupy the P site

c- GTP and initiation factors

d- small and large ribosomal subunits

e- tRNA carrying the next amino acid that will occupy the A site

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer : The correct answer is E (tRNA carrying the next amino acid that will occupy the A site). This occurs during the elongation step of protein synthesis.

Explanation : During elongation the nascent polypeptide is lengthened by covalent attachment of successive amino acid units, each carried to the ribosome and correctly positioned by its tRNA, which base-pairs to its corresponding codon in the mRNA. Elongation requires cytosolic proteins known as elongation factors. The binding of each incoming aminoacyl-tRNA and the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA are facilitated by the hydrolysis of GTP as each residue is added to the growing polypeptide.

Ribosomes provide the scaffolding on which tRNAs interact with mRNA during translation of an mRNA sequence to a chain of amino acids.

Part A -tRNA interactions with mRNA and the ribosome Ribosomes provide the scaffolding on which tRNAs interact with mRNA during translation of an mRNA sequence to a chain of amino acids. A ribosome has three binding sites, each of which has a distinct function in the tRNA-mRNA interactions. Drag the appropriate tRNAs to the binding sites on the ribosome to show the configuration immediately before new peptide bond forms. Note that one of the binding sites should be left empty.
