1 Translation Tutorial Place your keyboard aside. Only use the mouse.
Start from the beginning Transcription review The Genetic Code Transfer RNA Performing the Process Review Questions Place your keyboard aside. Only use the mouse.

2 Translation ribosome ribosome ribosome Translation takes place at the ribosome and it’s the process of the ribosomes creating proteins from smaller amino acids. How did we get to the ribosome? Let’s review. next

3 Transcription Review BACK CELL NUCEUS ribosome A process called transcription starts in the nucleus, where an enzyme called RNA polymerase splits the DNA molecule. next NEXT

4 Transcription Review BACK CELL NUCEUS AUG CCA UAU GGC UAA GCA ribosome NEXT A process called transcription starts in the nucleus, where an enzyme called RNA polymerase splits the DNA molecule. Next, free floating mRNA nucleotides bond to the open DNA molecule. Once finished, the mRNA breaks away and exits the nucleus. The mRNA will then join a ribosome. Now, the process of translation will begin. next next

5 Translation Process BACK ribosome The ribosome will read 3 mRNA nucleotides at a time. The 3 mRNA nucleotides are called a codon. Each codon will match for the delivery of a specific amino acid. Remember that amino acids link together to create a single protein. Click to see the codons It took scientists many years of experimentation to learn which codon creates which amino acid. next

6 BACK The Genetic Code Find AUG… This code calls for the delivery of the amino acid called methionine. Give it a click. This table is the same for almost every organism on Earth. In the chart above, click on the “AUG” codon.

7 BACK AUG codon Find CCA… This code calls for the delivery of the amino acid called proline. Give it a click. Whenever an AUG codon is read by the ribosome, the amino acid called METHIONINE will be delivered to the ribosome. Notice how the chart says “start codon” below methionine? This also means that the codon AUG will activate the ribosome to start the process of making a protein. Click on the CCA codon.

8 BACK CCA codon Find the Stop Codons… These codes tells the ribosome to stop making a protein. Give one a click. Whenever a CCA codon is read by the ribosome, the amino acid called PROLINE will be delivered to the ribosome. This process will continue until a “Stop codon” is read by the ribosome. This is how the ribosome knows that a protein is finished. Click on any of the STOP CODONS.

9 Transfer RNA Stop codons tell the ribosome to stop making a protein.
BACK Amino Acid serine Stop codons tell the ribosome to stop making a protein. So who…or what…is delivering these amino acids? In the cytoplasm, there are countless amino acids and other molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA). tRNA will pick up the proper amino acid and deliver it to the ribosome. next Amino acid proline next Amino Acid methionine next next

10 Examine the chart on your handout. Find the AUG code. AUG = methionine
Watching the Process BACK The mRNA enters the ribosome. The ribosome will begin to read the mRNA one codon at a time. Click on the amino acid that will be 1st delivered to the ribosome? Hint: Examine the Genetic Code chart on your handout to find the 1st codon. choices Now that methionine is delivered, tRNA drops off methionine and the ribosome moves to the next codon. phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan next methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Aspartic acid glycine Stop codon Amino acid methionine Examine the chart on your handout.

13 BACK Watching the Process Correct! CCA is the codon for the amino acid proline. Transfer RNA will deliver proline to the ribosome. next Again, tRNA will drop off the amino acid and exit. The ribosome will move to the next codon. choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine next isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Aspartic acid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid proline Amino acid methionine ribosome

14 Watching the Process BACK Correct! CCA is the codon for the amino acid proline. Transfer RNA will deliver proline to the ribosome. Again, tRNA will drop off the amino acid and exit. The ribosome will move to the next codon. choices phenylalanine serine histidine Glutamic acid leucine proline glutamine cysteine next isoleucine threonine asparagine tryptophan methionine alanine lysine arginine valine tyrosine Aspartic acid glycine Stop codon Amino Acid proline Amino acid methionine ribosome
