Question

-this round of translation functions to detect aberrant transcripts before mass-translation is engaged. _ In this round of translation, mRNAs are bound with cap-binding complexes. If the mRNA is correct, CBC engaged with eIF4E--> mass translation ensues.

Answer 1

The initiation complex in translation recognizes the 7-methylguanosine cap and tracks along the mRNA to find the start codon. Kozak's rules help determine the efficiency of translation based on the nucleotides around the AUG start codon.

Step-by-step explanation:

In translation, the complex that assembles to start the process is referred to as the initiation complex. The eukaryotic initiation complex recognizes the 7-methylguanosine cap at the 5' end of the mRNA and tracks along the mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction, searching for the AUG start codon. The Kozak's rules state that the nucleotides around the AUG indicate whether it is the correct start codon. The closer the sequence is to the consensus sequence, the higher the efficiency of translation.
