Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2TMW
Summary Introduction
To tell:
The translation can begin even before the mRNA transcription is completed in the bacteria. Why this does not occur in eukaryotes.
Introduction:
Translation is a process where the genetic information carried out by the messenger RNA is converted into the specific amino acid sequence. The sequential amino acids together form the polypeptide chains of proteins.

- Researchers are studying the mechanism of the antibiotic chloramphenicol. They know that it prevents the formation of peptide bonds during translation. A model of the translation process is shown in the diagram. Which of the following describes where in the model chloramphenicol acts to interfere with the production of proteins from DNA? during initiation during elongation during termination during protein releasearrow_forwardTranscription is the first step in gene expression. It involves copying a gene's DNA sequence to make an RNA molecule. It is performed by enzymes called RNA polymerases, which link nucleotides to form an RNA strand (using a DNA strand as a template). Transcription has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. What is the difference between Rho Dependent and Rho Independent termination in prokaryotes?arrow_forwardIn EUKARYOTIC translation, how does initiation of translation occur? a) What components of the mature mRNA are involved (2 components) and b) what proteins are involved (at least 2 proteins)?arrow_forward
- In bacterial genes, as soon as any partial mRNA transcript is produced by the RNA polymerase system, the ribosome assembles on it and starts translating. Draw a diagram of this process, identifying 5′ and 3′ ends of mRNA, the COOH and NH2 ends of the protein, the RNA polymerase, and at least one ribosome. Why couldn’t this system work in eukaryotes?arrow_forwardWhich of the following interactions in E. coli ensures that the start codon of an mRNA is accurately positioned in a ribosome at the initiation of translation? O binding between the mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequence and ribosomal proteins base-pairing between the mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequence and rRNA of the small ribosomal subunit O binding between ribosomal proteins and the initiation factor that base-pairs with the start codon O base-pairing between the mRNA Shine-Dalgarno sequence and rRNA of the large ribosomal subunitarrow_forwardResearchers are studying the mechanism of the antibiotic chloramphenicol.

- The synthesis of multiple different protein isoforms from just one gene in eukaryotic cells would most likely result from: polycistronic mRNAs exon shuffling alternative splicing intron shufflingarrow_forwardMicrobiologists describe the processes of transcription and translation as “coupled” in bacteria. This term indicates that bacterial mRNA can be undergoing transcription at the same moment it is also undergoing translation. How is coupling possible in bacteria? Is coupling of transcription and translation possible in single-celled eukaryotes, such as yeast? Why or why not?arrow_forwardConsider this nucleotide sequence of DNA strand in the image provided. If this strand is the sense strand, Give the correct nucleotide sequence of the RNA produced after transcription. If the RNA formed in #1 is already a functional mRNA and will be used to synthesize proteins, how many codons are present here that will actually code for amino acids? What is the sequence of the stop codon in this mRNA? What is the sequence of the 3rd codon in this mRNA? What is the sequence of the last codon in this mRNA that actually code for an amino acid?arrow_forward
- What are two advantages for circularizing the mRNA during the process of eukaryotic translation? (Select two correct answers) mRNA circularization ensures that translation terminates at the proper termination codons. mRNA circularization facilitates the binding of the ribosome to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence. mRNA circularization ensures that a full-length mRNA is used in the process of translation. mRNA circularization eliminates the requirement for translation factors in the process of translation initiation. mRNA circularization allows for a more efficient re-initiation of the translation process during repeated cycles of translation.arrow_forwardBacteria use the same stop codons as eukaryotes. However, bacterial transcription is also terminated in places where the mRNA folds back on itself to form a hairpin-looped structure like the one shown below. How do you think that this structure stops transcription?arrow_forwardMany antibiotics are effective as drugs to fight off bacterial infections because they inhibit protein synthesis in bacterial cells. Using the information provided in the following table that highlights several antibiotics and their mode of action, discuss which phase of translation is inhibited: initiation, elongation, or termination. What other components of the translational machinery could be targeted to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis? Antibiotic Action 1. Streptomycin Binds to 30S ribosomal subunit 2. Chloramphenicol Inhibits peptidyl transferase of 70S ribosome 3. Tetracycline Inhibits binding of charged tRNA to the A site of the ribosome 4. Erythromycin Binds to free 50S particle and prevents formation of 70S ribosome 5. Kasugamycin Inhibits binding of tRNAfMet 6. Thiostrepton Prevents translocation by inhibiting EF-Garrow_forward
