DNA Gene Exon 1 Intron Exon 2 Intron Exon 3 Transcription RNA processing Translation Correspondence between exons and protein domains. Domain 3 Domain 2 Domain 1 Polypeptide Translation is the RNA-directed synthesis of a polypeptide: a closer look A cell translates an mRNA message into protein with the help of transfer RNA (tRNA) Molecules of tRNA are not identical: Each carries a specific amino acid on one end Each has an anticodon on the other end; the anticodon base-pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA
Polypeptide Trp Phe Ribosome Amino acids tRNA with amino acid attached Gly tRNA Anticodon Translation: the basic concept. As a molecule of mRNA is moved through a ribosome codons are translated into amino acids one by one. The interpreters are tRNA molecules, each type with a specific anticodon at one end and a corresponding amino acid at the other end. A tRNA adds its amino acid cargo to a growing polypeptide chain when the anticodon hydrogen bonds to a complementary codon on the mRNA. 5′ Codons 3′ mRNA The Structure and Function of Transfer RNA A tRNA molecule consists of a single RNA strand that is only about 80 nucleotides long A C C Flattened into one plane to reveal its base pairing, a tRNA molecule looks like a cloverleaf Because of hydrogen bonds, tRNA actually twists and folds into a three-dimensional molecule tRNA is roughly L-shaped
