Question

Place the events of Translation in bacteria into the correct order. The large ribosomal subunit associates with the small subunit and mRNA. The ribosome shifts along the mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction, moving the tRNA from the aminoacyl (A) site into the peptidyl (P) site. The tRNA in the peptidyl (P) site shifts to the E site and leaves the ribosome. The next charged tRNA enters the open aminoacyl (A site of the ribosome. Aminoacyltransferase attaches the amino acid to the corresponding tRNA. The small ribosomal subunit and IF-3 associate with the 5' end of an mRNA. Translation stops when a termination factor enters the aminoacyl (A) site when it lines up with a stop codon. The amino acid from the tRNA in the peptidyl (P) site is attached to the amino acid on the tRNA in the aminoacyl (A) site. The large and small ribosomal subunits separate. An fMet-charged tRNA associates with the start codon.

Explanation / Answer

1. The small ribosomal subunit and IF-3 associate with the 5' end of an mRNA.

2. The large ribosomal subunit associates with small ribosomal subunit and mRNA.

3. Aminoacyltransferase attaches the amino acid to the corresponding tRNA

4. An Met- charged tRNA associates with the start codon

5. The amino acid from the tRNA in the P site is attached to the amino acid on the tRNA in the A site.

6. The tRNA in the peptidyl (P) site shifts to the E site and leaves the ribosome.

7. The ribosome shifts along the mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction moving the tRNA from A site to P site

8. The next charged tRNA enters the open A site of the ribosome

9. Translation stops when a termination factor enters the A site when it lines up with stop codon

10. The large and small ribosomal subunits separate.
