Protein synthesis in eukaryotes is different from prokaryotes. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about steps in initiation of eukaryotic protein synthesis?
Correct Answer: Binding of mRNA to the 60S preinitiation complex to form the 43S initiation complex
Description: Initiation of protein synthesis can be divided into four steps: Dissociation of the ribosome into its 40S and 60S subunits; Binding of a ternary complex consisting of the initiator methionyl-tRNA, (met-tRNAi), GTP, and eIF-2 to the 40S ribosome to form the 43S preinitiation complex; Binding of mRNA to the 40S preinitiation complex to form the 48S initiation complex; and Combination of the 48S initiation complex with the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex.
