  2. Ribosome-binding site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome-binding_site

    The RBS in prokaryotes is a region upstream of the start codon. This region of the mRNA has the consensus 5'-AGGAGG-3', also called the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence. [1] The complementary sequence (CCUCCU), called the anti-Shine-Dalgarno (ASD) is contained in the 3’ end of the 16S region of the smaller (30S) ribosomal subunit.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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]

  7. Eukaryotic initiation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_initiation_factor

    Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are proteins or protein complexes involved in the initiation phase of eukaryotic translation.These proteins help stabilize the formation of ribosomal preinitiation complexes around the start codon and are an important input for post-transcription gene regulation.

  8. Untranslated region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untranslated_region

    The 5' UTR of prokaryotes consists of the ShineDalgarno sequence (5'-AGGAGGU-3'). [6] This sequence is found 3-10 base pairs upstream from the initiation codon. The initiation codon is the start site of translation into protein.

  9. 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 ...
