Is it possible for bacterial cell components used in translation such as Ribsomes, tRNA, and aminos acids, to be used with the addition of eukaryotic mRNA to produce a protein in the PCR system? Please explain as much as you can!
The efficiency of translation of a eukaryotic mRNA using an in vitro translation system derived from bacteria will be less. The reason is that the ribosome binding site of bacterial mRNA is the Shine-Dalgarno sequence located 4-7 bases upstream of the initiation codon. The ribosome binding site of the eukaryotic mRNA is the methylated cap that the bacterial ribosome do not recognize. However, if the AUG codon is preceded by a small part of the poly purine Shine-Dalgarno sequence, the bacterial ribosome may initiate translation resulting the production of the protein. A eukaryotic messenger can be efficiently translated in an in vitro translation system derived from bacteria when the mRNA possesses a bacterial ribosome binding site upstream of initiation codon. Such an mRNA will be efficiently translated by bacterial ribosomes using amino acyl tRNAs, initiation, elongation and termination factors of bacteria.
PCR is not an in vitro translation system. It is used for the in vitro amplification of any piece of DNA using appropriate primers, dNTPS and a thermostable DNA polymerase.

In the in vitro translation system, is it possible for bacterial cell components used in translation such as Ribsomes, tRNA, and aminos acids, to be used with the addition of eukaryotic mRNA to produce a protein? Explain it in as clear terms as possible.
You were very inspired by the PCR system you used when you first started at the molecular testing lab, where DNA replication could occur without the cell (in vitro) if you provided the enzymes and substrates for the reaction in a test tube! As such, you try to make an in vitro translation system, where you add to a test tube bacterial cell extract that includes all the components needed for translation (ribosomes, tRNA, amino acids, etc.). If eukaryotic mRNA...
a) You cut a gene out of the DNA of a eukaryotic cell and insert it into the DNA of a bacterial cell. You find that the bacteria do not produce the protein you wanted but instead, a much larger disorganized protein is produced. Explain what happened. b) Your teammate claims to have found a mutation in the serine tRNA synthetase that causes serine amino acids to be linked to a tRNA with a UAA anti-codon. Is this possible? If so,...
a. You cut a gene out of the DNA of a eukaryotic cell and insert it into the DNA of a bacterial cell. Much to your dismay you find that the protein product you want is not produced by the bacteria but instead a much larger disorganized protein is produced. Explain what is going on. b. Your lab mate claims to have found a mutation in the serine tRNA synthetase that causes serine amino acids to be linked to a...
List the steps involved in the transcription and translation of DNA into mRNA and tRNA in order? DNA replicated to RNA tRNA translates mRNA and adds amino acids to the growing peptide chain making a protein mRNA leaves nucleus Introns are excised from hnRNA Addition of 5' cap and poly-A tail to mRNA
A scientist injected a gene into a bacterial cell, expecting it to synthesize functional protein product of that gene. But rather the protein product was nonfunctional and contained more amino acids than the human gene created in a eukaryotic cells. Why did this happen, please explain as much as you can. Thank you

2. The graphs below represent various curves obtained in different in vitro bacterial translation experiments in which a mixture of radioactive amino acids are added to a cell-free translation assay. The peptide product was assayed as counts per minute (cpm) that resulted from incorporation of a mixture of radiolabeled (radioactive) amino acids. The arrows represent the times at which various substances were added to the systems. (6 points) Cpm Cpm Cpm Cpm Time Time Time Time a) The addition of...
In bacterial cells, the translation of mRNA can begin as soon as the leading 5’ end of the mRNA molecule peels away from the DNA template. This coupling can be used for eukaryotic cells as well: True / False
