(b) Electron micrograph of a grazing section through the outer edge of a rough ER cisterna. The ribosomes are aligned in loops and spirals, indicating their attachment to mRNA molecules to form polysomes. (c) Electron micrograph of metalshadowed polysomes isolated from reticulocytes engaged in hemoglobin synthesis. Most of these polysomes have between four and six ribosomes. mRNA + ① ② ③ In step 1, initiation of translation begins with the association of the 30S ribosomal subunit with the mRNA at the AUG initiation codon, a step that requires IF1 and IF3. The 30S ribosomal subunit binds to the mRNA at the AUG initiation codon as the result of an interaction between a plementary nucleotide sequence on the rRNA and mRNA. In step 2, a ternary (threemembered) plex consisting of formylmethionyltRNAIF2GTP bees associated with the mRNA30S ribosomal subunit plex acpanied by the release of IF3. In step 3, the 50S subunit joins the plex with the acpanying release of IF1, IF2, and the products of GTP hydrolysis (GDP and Pi). The initiation of protein synthesis in prokaryotes (a) (
