Ribosome structure [3]
Ribosome is a highly complex cellular machine. It is mainly composed of Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and dozens of different Ribosomal protein (r- protein )Composition (the exact number of species varies slightly). Ribosomal protein And rRNA are arranged into two different sizes Ribosomal subunit , commonly referred to as the size subunit of ribosome. Ribosome large and small subunits cooperate with each other in protein synthesis Transforming mRNA into Polypeptide chain
prokaryote The diameter of ribosome is about 20 nm, which is composed of 65% rRNA and 35% ribosomal protein [4] Eukaryote The diameter of ribosomes is between 25 and 30 nm, and the ratio of rRNA to protein is close to 1 [5] The ribosomal subunits of bacteria and eukaryotes are very similar [6]
Ribosome under electron microscope [7]
Used to describe ribosomes Subunit And rRNA fragments Unit of measurement It is a Svedberg unit, representing the sedimentation rate of subunit during centrifugation rather than its size. For example, bacteria 70S ribosome It is composed of 50S and 30S subunits.

Translation of mRNA

The main function of ribosome is to convert genetic code into amino acid sequence and construct protein polymer from amino acid monomer. MRNA contains a series of Codon , decoded by ribosomes to produce proteins. The ribosome uses mRNA as a template. The ribosome passes through each codon (3 nucleotide ), combine it with aminoacyl group- tRNA Appropriate amino acid pairing provided. Aminoacyl tRNA has codon complementary Anticodon The other end carries appropriate amino acids. Ribosomes use large conformational changes to quickly and accurately identify appropriate tRNAs [8] It is usually associated with the first amino acid methionine Aminoacyl tRNA binding Ribosome small subunit Combine with AUG codon and recruit Ribosome large subunit The ribosome contains three RNAs binding site : A, P and E site Site A Binding of aminoacyl tRNA or termination Release factor [9] P-site binding Peptide group -TRNA (tRNA binding to tRNA) Polypeptide chain The E site (exit) binds free tRNA. Protein synthesis begins near the end of mRNA5 ' Initial codon AUG P site combination. Ribosome by using prokaryote The Shine Dalgarno sequence of mRNA in and the Kozak box in eukaryotes identify the starting codon.

Translation co folding

Ribose volume polar participation protein folding [10] In some cases, ribosomes are essential for obtaining functional proteins. For example, folding of deeply knotted proteins depends on the ribosome pushing the chain through the attached ring [11]
Add translation independent amino acids
The existence of ribosome quality control protein Rqc2 is related to the extension of mRNA independent protein polypeptide chain [12] This extension is the result of ribosome adding CAT tail through tRNA brought by Rqc2.
Peptide transfer and peptide hydrolysis
Ribosomes in Peptide group Transfer and peptide hydrolysis are two extremely important biological processes Catalysis [13]

bacterial ribosome

Ribosome of bacteria 70S ribosome By 30S Small subunit And 50S Large subunit form. 30S small subunit contains 16S RNA (1540 nucleotides) and 21 kinds Ribosomal protein The large subunit consists of 5S RNA (120 nucleotides), 23S RNA (2900 nucleotides) and 31 ribosomal proteins [6]

Eukaryotic ribosome

The eukaryotic ribosome 80S ribosome is located in its Cytoplasm Each ribosome consists of 40S small subunit and 60S large subunit. 40S subunit has 18S RNA (1900 nucleotides) and 33 proteins [14-15] The 60S large subunit consists of 5S RNA (120 nucleotides), 28S RNA (4700 nucleotides), 5.8S RNA (160 nucleotides) and 46 ribosomal proteins [6] [14-15]
Mitochondrial ribosomes and plastid ribosomes
Eukaryotes, located in mitochondrion The ribosome in is called Mitochondrial ribosome (mitoribosomes), located at Plastid The ribosomes of chloroplast In Chloroplast ribosome (chloroplastic ribosomes)。 They are also 70S ribosomes combined by large and small subunits and proteins, similar to bacteria [6] In both, chloroplast ribosomes are closer to bacteria than mitochondrial ribosomes. Many of the mitochondria Ribosomal RNA Is shortened, and its 5S rRNA is replaced by other structures in animals and fungi [16]
Pharmaceutical chemists use the difference between bacteria and eukaryotic ribosomes to produce antibiotics such as Aminoglycoside antibiotics Tetracycline antibiotics etc. Protein synthesis inhibitor Antibiotics like, Specificity To destroy bacterial infection. Because of their different structures, bacterial 70S ribosomes are vulnerable to these antibiotics, while eukaryotic 80S ribosomes are not [17] Although mitochondria have ribosomes similar to bacteria, they are not affected by these antibiotics, because they are surrounded by double membranes and are not easy to bring these antibiotics into Organelle [18] The same is true of chloroplasts [19]

Free ribosome

Free ribosome It can move anywhere in the cytoplasm, but is excluded from nucleus And other organelles. Proteins generated from free ribosomes are released into the cytoplasm and used in cells. Because the cytoplasm contains high concentration of glutathione , it is a kind of Reducibility Therefore, the free ribosomes in the cytoplasm cannot produce Cysteine Residue Formed containing Disulfide bond Protein.

membrane-bound ribosomes

When ribosomes begin to synthesize proteins needed by certain organelles, ribosomes can bind to membranes. stay Eukaryotic cell The combination occurs in rough Endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ribosome directly inserts the newly generated polypeptide chain into ER, and these polypeptide chains pass through Secretory pathway Is transferred to its destination. membrane-bound ribosomes The protein produced is usually plasma membrane Internal use, or through Exocytosis Excretion from cells [20]

It is generally believed that the ribosome Prokaryote and Eukaryote There are two kinds of ribosomes. But ribosomes Heterogeneity Surprisingly, ribosomes have different compositions in different species. And main Model organism Compared with typical ribosomes in, heteroribosomes have different structures and therefore have different activities.
Heterogeneity of ribosome composition is involved in protein synthesis Translation control [30] Different Cell population Specific ribosomes can affect the way genes are translated [31] some Ribosomal protein Exchangeable with cytoplasmic replicates from the assembled complex [32] It shows that the structure of ribosomes in vivo can be modified without synthesizing new ribosomes.

A group of highly acidic ribosomal proteins (RP), also known as P proteins, exist in 60S as multiple copies in the ribosomal stem Subunit P protein mediates selective translation [33] These P proteins can be found in yeast and Mammalian cell Found in. If there is no P protein in yeast, yeast is sensitive to cold. If Human cells Loss of P protein, induction Autophagy [34]
Some ribosomal proteins are absolutely critical, while others Nucleoprotein Is not. For example, in mice, Rpl38 is necessary for the translation of Hox mRNA subgroups, and the mutation of Rpl38 results in Short tail Homology of Heteromorphic transformation [35]
The modification of core ribosomal protein (RP) can also lead to the formation of heterogeneous ribosomes.
