Translation: From messenger RNA to protein:
The information encoded in the DNA is transferred to
messenger RNA and then decoded by the ribosome to
produce proteins.

Amino-acyl tRNA synthetases:
One synthetase for each amino acid
a single synthetase may recognize multiple tRNAs
for the same amino acid
Two classes of synthetase.Different 3-dimensional structures
Differ in which side of the tRNA they recognize
and how they bind ATP
Class I - monomeric, acylates the 2¶OH on the terminal ribose
Arg, Cys , Gln, Glu, Ile, Leu, Met, Trp Tyr, Val
Class II - dimeric, acylate the 3¶OH on the terminal ribose
Ala, Asn, Asp, Gly, His, Lys, Phe, Ser, Pro, Thr

An example of control of specific mRNAs: regulation by iron (Fe):
Ferritin is a cytosolic iron binding protein expressed when
iron is abundant in the cell.
Transferrin receptor is a plasma membrane receptor important
for the import of iron into the cytosol.
They are coordinately regulated, in opposite directions, by
control of protein synthesis.

There is also general control of translational initiation.
ie. all transcripts of the cell are effected (though the relative
effect differs between specific mRNAs)
Global downregulation or upregulation can occur in response
to various stimuli the most common are1) Nutrient availability
low nutrient (amino acids/carbohydrate)
downregulates translation
2) Growth factor signals.
stimulation of cell division upregulates translation

two primary mechanisms.
Control of the phosphorylation of eIF2
Control of the phosphorylation of eIF4 binding proteins

G cap binding subunit of eIF4, eIF4E, is sequestered by eIF4E binding protiens (4E-BPs). The binding of these

Modification of the translation machinery is a common
feature of viral life cycles

Picornaviruses have single stranded RNA genomes.

The poliovirus genome is translated into a single,
large polyprotein that then auto-proteolyzes itself into
smaller proteins.
One of these proteins, viral protease 2A cleaves
the translation initiation factor eIF4G so that it
can no longer function as a bridge between themethyl cap binding subunit and the 40S subunit

The consequence of this cleavage is that translation of
cellular mRNAs stops
But«the viral RNA is still translated due to the presence of
an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES). This acts like a
bacterial initiation site to allow Cap-independent initiation
from internal AUG codons.

by the textbook model at right,rather it is a structure in the mRNA
itself that can bind to the remaining
fragment of eIF4G

Some cellular mRNAs are also translated using IRESs
During G2/M phase of the cell cycle, translation is generally
downregulated by activation of 4E-BPs. Many proteins expressed
during this period bypass this control by using IRES elements

reading frames in
each mRNA

As the ribosome translocates, it moves in three nucleotide
steps, ensuring that the frame defined by the AUG
is usedthroughout translation
If the ribosome moves 1 or 2 (or 4 or 5) nucleotides
this produces a frameshift
