Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 18RQ
A scientist introduces a mutation that makes the 60S ribosomal subunit nonfunctional in a human cell line. What would be the predicted effect on translation?
- Translation stalls after the initiation AUG codon is identified
- The ribosome cannot catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between the tRNAs in the A and P sites
- The ribosome cannot interact with mRNAs
- tRNAs cannot exit the E site of the ribosome.

Which of the following statements about translation is false?
In eukaryotes, the 5' cap and the 3' poly(A) tail are involved in translation initiation.
Peptidyl-transferase activity during translation is the property of a ribozyme.
A base at the first position of an anticodon on the tRNA would pair with a base at the third position of the mRNA.
The growing peptide chain is transferred from the tRNA in the P site to the tRNA in the A site.
Ribosomes move along an mRNA in the 3’ → 5' direction.

For example, tetracycline blocks the A site on the bacterial ribosome, and chloramphenicol blocks peptidyl transfer.

A stop codon enters the A site on the ribosome. A Release Factor enters the A site A terminal amino acid is added to the polypeptide to signal the end of translation. Release Factor mediates the hydrolysis of the polypeptide from the tRNA at the P site. The polypeptide and tRNA are released and the ribosomal subunits are separated.arrow_forwardWhich of the following events would NOT result in ribosomes stalling on an MRNA during translation? The MRNA in a given region is very highly folded, and the ribosome stalls because the RNA structure blocks its movement. O The correct tRNA is scarce because it is not transcribed very much in the prevailing conditions. The ribosome stalls while waiting for one of the scarce tRNAS to diffuse into the A site. O the release tactor enters the A site, decodes a stop codon and transfers an oxxYgen from water to the carboxyl group of the peptidyl-tRNA in the P site, causing stalling O Starvation for amino acids will reduce the amount of amino-acylated (charged) tRNA the ribosome will stall while waiting for a charged tRNA to enter the A site to decode the next codonarrow_forward
