    The Shine-Dalgarno sequence, of the prokaryotic RBS, was discovered by John Shine and Lynn Dalgarno in 1975. [ 1 ] [ 14 ] The Kozak consensus sequence was first identified by Marilyn Kozak in 1984 [ 15 ] while she was in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh .

  3. Kozak consensus sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozak_consensus_sequence

    The scanning mechanism of initiation, which utilizes the Kozak sequence, is found only in eukaryotes and has significant differences from the way bacteria initiate translation. The biggest difference is the existence of the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence in mRNA for bacteria. The SD sequence is located near the start codon which is in contrast to ...

  4. Shine–Dalgarno sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShineDalgarno_sequence

    The ShineDalgarno (SD) sequence is a ribosomal binding site in bacterial and archaeal messenger RNA, generally located around 8 bases upstream of the start codon AUG. [1] The RNA sequence helps recruit the ribosome to the messenger RNA (mRNA) to initiate protein synthesis by aligning the ribosome with the start codon.

  5. Five prime untranslated region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_prime_untranslated_region

    The prokaryotic 5′ UTR contains a ribosome binding site (RBS), also known as the ShineDalgarno sequence (AGGAGGU), which is usually 3–10 base pairs upstream from the initiation codon. [6] In contrast, the eukaryotic 5′ UTR contains the Kozak consensus sequence (ACCAUGG), which contains the initiation codon. [6]

  6. Prokaryotic small ribosomal subunit - Wikipedia

    The 30S subunit is an integral part of mRNA translation.It binds three prokaryotic initiation factors: IF-1, IF-2, and IF-3. [3]A portion of the 30S subunit (the 16S rRNA) guides the initiating start codon (5′)-AUG-(3′) of mRNA into position by recognizing the Shine-Dalgarno sequence, a complementary binding site about 8 base pairs upstream from the start codon. [4]

  7. Initiation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation_factor

    The bacterial 30S initiation complex, [7] also showing the Shine-Dalgarno sequence upstream of the start codon. A eukaryotic initiation factor eIF3 plays an important role in translational initiation. It has a complex structure, composed of 13 subunits.

  8. Eukaryotic translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_translation

    Ribosome profiling provides valuable insights into translation dynamics, revealing the complex interplay between gene sequence, mRNA structure, and translation regulation. Expanding on this concept, a more recent development is single-cell ribosome profiling, a technique that allows us to study the translation process at the resolution of ...

  9. Biomolecular structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_structure

    Often, the primary structure encodes sequence motifs that are of functional importance. Some examples of such motifs are: the C/D [1] and H/ACA boxes [2] of snoRNAs, LSm binding site found in spliceosomal RNAs such as U1, U2, U4, U5, U6, U12 and U3, the Shine-Dalgarno sequence, [3] the Kozak consensus sequence [4] and the RNA polymerase III ...
