Question

The E-site A) is found on the RNA polymerase enzyme. B) is responsible for the release of the tRNA. C) is found on the 35S polysome. D) is the aminoacyl site on the ribosome. E) is another name for anticodon.

Answer 1

B) is responsible for the release of the tRNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

A transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is an RNA molecule that connects a particular triplet of nucleotides or 'codon' of a messenger RNA (mRNA) to a particular amino acid during protein synthesis (translation) in the ribosomes. In a cell, tRNAs can be found in three different forms: aminoacyl-tRNAs, peptidyl-tRNAs, or deacylated tRNAs. Moreover, during translation, the tRNA binds to the ribosome at three different sites. The E-site (E for exit) refers to the final binding site for deacylated tRNAs in the ribosomes (i.e., before their dissociation from the ribosomes) during protein synthesis. The first binding site for tRNA in the ribosome is the A-site (A for aminoacyl), while the second binding site is called P-site (P for peptidyl). These three sites are oriented in inverse sense (5' to 3' E-P-A) with respect to the mRNA.
