蛋白质合成过程中相互作用的核糖体对mRNA的运输:单个核糖体化学力学的影响

Traffic of interacting ribosomes on mRNA during protein synthesis: effects of chemo-mechanics of individual ribosomes

Aakash Basu, Debashish Chowdhury

摘要:

许多{ \it核糖体}同时在同一信使RNA(mRNA)上移动,每个核糖体分别合成同一蛋白质的一个拷贝。与早期的模型相反,{ \it我们在这里发展了一个"统一的“理论模型},它不仅包含了相互作用的核糖体的{ \it互斥},而且还明确地描述了蛋白质合成过程中这些大分子机器中的每一个的机械化学。利用非平衡统计力学的分析和数值技术,我们分析了该模型中蛋白质合成的速率和核糖体的时空组织。我们还预测了这些性质将如何随着每个核糖体中各种化学机械过程的速率的变化而变化。最后,我们通过对{ \it E-coli}中某些mRNA的蛋白质合成速率和核糖体密度分布进行实验可检验的预测来说明该模型的能力。

英文摘要:

Many {\it ribosomes} simultaneously move on the same messenger RNA (mRNA), each synthesizing separately a copy of the same protein. In contrast to the earlier models, here {\it we develop a ``unified'' theoretical model} that not only incorporates the {\it mutual exclusions} of the interacting ribosomes, but also describes explicitly the mechano-chemistry of each of these macromolecular machines during protein synthesis. Using analytical and numerical techniques of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, we analyze the rates of protein synthesis and the spatio-temporal organization of the ribosomes in this model. We also predict how these properties would change with the changes in the rates of the various chemo-mechanical processes in each ribosome. Finally, we illustrate the power of this model by making experimentally testable predictions on the rates of protein synthesis and the density profiles of the ribosomes on some mRNAs in {\it E-coli}.
