Question

Phosphorylation of one component of this structure by S6K1 stimulates its function. Paromomycin reduces the energetic cost of near-cognate interactions and facilitates domain closure in this structure according to a model developed by Ramakrishnan. An I.R.E.S (15[1])can recruit this structure in a cap-independent manner. This structure sequentially binds and releases the GTPases EF-Tu and EF-G. In bacteria, this structure is recruited by the (*) Shine-Dalgarno sequence, while in eukaryotes this structure scans for a (10[1])Kozak sequence. Ratcheting of the 30S subunit relative to the 50S (10[1])drives forward translocation of this structure to the next codon. Aminoacyl-tRNAs bind to this structure’s A-site before moving to the P-site to extend the nascent peptide chain. For 10 points, name this macromolecular machine that translates mRNA into protein. ■END■
