Translation is one of the key energy consumers in cells, hence it is strictly regulated. Numerous mechanisms have evolved that control and regulate translation in eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. Regulation of translation can impact the global rate of protein synthesis which is closely coupled to the metabolic and proliferative state of a cell.
Wilkinson's catalyst (chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)) is a coordination complex of rhodium with the formula [RhCl(PPh 3) 3], where 'Ph' denotes a phenyl group. It is a red-brown colored solid that is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, and more so in tetrahydrofuran or chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane .
The Tsuji–Wilkinson decarbonylation reaction is a method for the decarbonylation of aldehydes and some acyl chlorides. The reaction name recognizes JirÅ Tsuji, whose team first reported the use of Wilkinson's catalyst (RhCl(PPh 3) 3) for these reactions: RC(O)X + RhCl(PPh 3) 3 → RX + RhCl(CO)(PPh 3) 2 + PPh 3
The termination of translation requires coordination between release factor proteins, the mRNA sequence, and ribosomes. Once a termination codon is read, release factors RF-1, RF-2, and RF-3 contribute to the hydrolysis of the growing polypeptide, which terminates the chain. Bases downstream the stop codon affect the activity of these release ...
Time is required for this transformation, hence the induction period. For example, with Wilkinson's catalyst, one triphenylphosphine ligand must dissociate to give the coordinatively unsaturated 14-electron species which can participate in the catalytic cycle: Wilkinson's catalyst requires activation before it can participate in the catalytic cycle
In the canonical model of translation initiation, the 43S PIC is pre-formed as a stable complex and recruited to the 5' cap of eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by the eIF4F complex. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 5 ] The 43S PIC then "scans" in the 5' --> 3' direction along the mRNA in an ATP-dependent fashion (via eIF4A and/or other RNA helicases such as Ded1 ...
1. The recognition of codons by release factors, which causes the hydrolysis of the polypeptide chain from the tRNA located in the P site [1] 2. The release of the polypeptide chain [57] 3. The dissociation and "recycling" of the ribosome for future translation processes [57] A summary table of the key players in translation is found below:
Eukaryotic transcription is the elaborate process that eukaryotic cells use to copy genetic information stored in DNA into units of transportable complementary RNA replica. [1] Gene transcription occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Unlike prokaryotic RNA polymerase that initiates the transcription of all different types of RNA, RNA ...
