How Do You Spell TRANSLATION STOP SIGNALS?

Pronunciation: [tɹanslˈe͡ɪʃən stˈɒp sˈɪɡnə͡lz] (IPA)

Translation Stop Signals refers to the signals that indicate the end of translation in genetic code. The correct spelling of this term is /tɹæn(l)zˈleɪʃən stɒp ˈsɪɡnəlz/. The first three sounds are /t/ + /ɹ/ + /æ/, which represent the voiceless alveolar plosive, voiced alveolar approximant, and the vowel sound "a". The word "translation" is spelled with six letters, and the stress is placed on the second syllable. The word "stop" is spelled with four letters and has a consonant cluster /st/ at the beginning. Finally, "signals" is spelled with seven letters, and the stress is placed on the first syllable.

TRANSLATION STOP SIGNALS Meaning and Definition

  1. Translation stop signals are molecular signals that instruct the cellular machinery to terminate protein synthesis during the process of translation. Translation is the process by which the genetic information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to synthesize proteins. In this process, ribosomes, the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis, move along the mRNA strand, decoding the genetic information and assembling the corresponding amino acids into a polypeptide chain.

    Translation stop signals, also known as stop codons or termination codons, are specific sequences of three nucleotides (RNA building blocks) that are recognized by specific proteins called release factors. These signals mark the end of the protein-coding region on the mRNA and serve as a termination point for the ribosome.

    There are three different stop signals in the standard genetic code: UAA, UAG, and UGA. When a ribosome encounters one of these stop signals during translation, it releases the newly synthesized polypeptide chain and disassembles from the mRNA. This marks the completion of protein synthesis and signals the end of translation.

    Translation stop signals are crucial for the accurate and controlled synthesis of proteins in living cells. Mutations or alterations in these signals can lead to disruptions in protein production and functional defects. Furthermore, certain viruses have evolved strategies to manipulate translation stop signals to their advantage, enabling the production of viral proteins and modulating host cell functions.
