What is effect of eliminating the ribosome binding site for the gene that encodes the leader peptide? Provide your rationale.

Ribosomes are the main factories for synthesis of protein . In eukaryotes it is 80S and in prokaryotes it is 70S ribosome which help in translation. Ribosomes have 3 sites A, P & E sites. A for binding of amino acyl tRNA , P for binding peptidyl tRNA and E for exit . For initiating the process of translation ribosomes have to nind to mRNA . Now you have eliminated the ribosome binding site for the gene as a result the mRNA & tRNA complex will not be able to bind to the ribosome, as a result the protein synthesis machinery will be hampered and the peptide chain will not form.

There are certain group of antibiotics which works on this princple eg. TETRACYCLINE which inhibits binding of tRNA & ribosomes and finally stopping protein synthesis of the bacteria. ERYTHROMYCIN prevents translocation in by binding to the ribosome.

Hope you get it. Cheers and all the best!!

A gene is 8,001 nucleotides in length. Studies of this gene show that it encodes a protein only 400 amino acids long – far shorter than the 2,667 amino acids that were expected. This is best explained by the fact: nucleotides often break off and are lost during the transcription process. the genetic code is ambiguous (unclear). in some cases, many nucleotides are used to encode a single amino acid. many of the 8,001 nucleotides of the gene are ultimately...
