Prokaryotic mRNAs Have a Ribosome-Binding Site That Recruits the translational Machinery For translation to occur, the ribosome must be recruited to the mRNA.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Many prokaryotic ORFs contain a short sequence upstream (on the 5’side) of the start codon called the ribosome binding site (RBS). This element is also referred to as a Shine –Dalgarno sequence.

The RBS, typically located 3–9 bp on the 5’side of the start codon, is complementary to a sequence located near the 3’end of one of the ribosomal RNA components, the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

The 16S rRNA interacts with the RBS to position the AUG in the P-site.

Some prokaryotic ORFs lack a strong RBS but are nonetheless actively translated Using the phenomenon of translational coupling.

The initiation of prokaryotic translation commences with the small subunit and is catalyzed by three translation initiation factors called IF1, IF2, and IF3.
