  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. Kozak consensus sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozak_consensus_sequence

    Variation within the Kozak sequence alters the "strength" thereof. Kozak sequence strength refers to the favorability of initiation, affecting how much protein is synthesized from a given mRNA. [4] [9] The A nucleotide of the "AUG" is delineated as +1 in mRNA sequences with the preceding base being labeled as −1, i.e. there is no 0 position ...

  4. Initiation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiation_factor

    The cap end of the mRNA, being the 5’ end, is brought to the complex where the 43S ribosomal complex can bind and scan the mRNA for the start codon. During this process, the 60S ribosomal subunit binds and the large 80S ribosomal complex is formed. The eIF4G plays a role, as it interacts with the polyA-binding protein, attracting the mRNA.

  5. Ribosome display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome_display

    Ribosome display is a technique used to perform in vitro protein evolution to create proteins that can bind to a desired ligand.The process results in translated proteins that are associated with their mRNA progenitor which is used, as a complex, to bind to an immobilized ligand in a selection step.

  6. RNA-induced silencing complex - Wikipedia

    preventing the binding of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF) to the 5' cap. It has been noted RISC can deadenylate the 3' poly(A) tail which might contribute to repression via the 5' cap. [2] [17] preventing the binding of the 60S ribosomal subunit binding to the mRNA can repress translation. [20]

  7. Ribosomal protein leader - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_protein_leader

    Ribosomal leaders typically bind ribosomal proteins that normally bind ribosomal RNA. In many cases, the binding site within the leader structurally resembles the region of the ribosomal RNA to which the protein binds, in an example of molecular mimicry.

  8. Five prime untranslated region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_prime_untranslated_region

    In bacteria, the initiation of translation occurs when IF-3, along with the 30S ribosomal subunit, bind to the Shine–Dalgarno (SD) sequence of the 5′ UTR. [6] This then recruits many other proteins, such as the 50S ribosomal subunit, which allows for translation to begin. Each of these steps regulates the initiation of translation.

  9. Alpha operon ribosome binding site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_operon_ribosome...

    The alpha operon ribosome binding site in bacteria is surrounded by this complex pseudoknotted RNA structure. Translation of the mRNA produces 4 ribosomal protein products, one of which (S4) acts as a translational repressor by binding to the nested pseudoknot region.
