It was soon demonstrated that the amino acidactivating enzyme in the ph 5 fraction also catalyzed the transfer of the activated amino acid to the trna berg and ofengand 1958. What is the enzyme involved in amino acid activation answers. In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or er synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of dna to rna in the cells nucleus. Peptide chain falls off, and then the whole translation complex falls apart. Amino acids are the basic structural building units of protein and other biomolecules. As reported in the jbc classic reprinted here, he isolated an enzyme fraction that, in the presence of atp and amino acids, catalyzed the first step in. Activation by insulin and amino acids of signaling components leading to translation initiation in skeletal muscle of neonatal pigs is developmentally regulated. In conclusion, the results suggest that the postprandial rise in insulin stimulates skeletal muscle protein synthesis through the activation of insulinsignaling components leading to mrna translation, whereas the postprandial rise in amino acids regulates this process through the activation of mtorsignaling pathways downstream of tsc2. Recent findings have demonstrated that the branchedchain amino acid leucine can activate the translational regulators, phosphorylated heat and acidstable protein regulated by insulin phasi and p70 s6 kinase p70s6k, in an insulinindependent and rapamycinsensitive manner through mammalian target of rapamycin mtor, although the mechanism for this activation is undefined.
