What is translational control?
Switching translation on and off
2
New cards
If we don't want translation to occur, what happens?
Degrade mRNA
OR
Inhibitory proteins binding to the mRNA.
3
New cards
Inhibitory proteins binding to the mRNA
This will stop the mRNA from binding with the ribosome.
4
New cards
If we want translation to occur, what happens?
Activate initiation factors
5
New cards
Activate initiation factors
This allows mRNA to bind to the ribosome.
This is done by phosphorylation. We add a phosphate group to the proteins to activate them using protein kinases.
Protein kinases can be activated by cAMP.
