Document Summary

Once in the cytoplasm, mrna is able to react with a whole new set of cytoplasmic proteins which are factors in translation. Many of the proteins found in these mechanisms are gtp-binding and act as great switches which can be used to regulate translation levels of a protein. The genetic code indicates which amino acid should be added onto a growing polypeptide chain by a series of three nucleotides on an mrna molecule, known as the codon. Along with these codons is a start codon, aug, which codes for the initiation of translation and a stop codon, either uaa, uag or uga, which code for translational termination. Rna plays three important roles in proteins synthesis: They are synthesized by pol iii within the nucleus. An important processing of the trna occurs before it can be fully functional: the 5" end sequence s removed, a short intron is removed, a cca is added to the 3" end.
