Question

Two factors involved in this process are the only proteins that contain the nonstandard amino acid hypusine. One form of this process is initiated with an IRES (“I-res”), which viruses can use to trigger it in a host. In bacteria, this process begins after binding of the Shine-Dalgarno (10[1])sequence. (-5[1])Release (-5[1])factors end this process upon recognition of sequences called amber, ochre, or opal. An inosine in the third position allows wobble pairing during this process. The initiation step of this process adds charged tRNA after a start codon is read at one organelle’s A site. For 10 points, name this process in which ribosomes read mRNAs (10[1]-5[1])to make proteins, (10[1]-5[1])which follows transcription in the central dogma. ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: translation [prompt on any answer mentioning protein synthesis; prompt on gene expression; prompt on central dogma before mentioned]
