Ribosome
The term proposed by Roberts (1958)for the small cellular components (Gk. soma, body) composed of specialized ribosomal RNA and protein (ribonucleoprotein); site of protein synthesis.

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. They are not membrane-bound and thus occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Eukaryotic ribosomes are slightly larger than prokaryotic ones.

ribosomes: organelle bodies that may be bound to the ER that are the sites of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells; the bodies in which amino acids are bound together to form proteins.

The ribosome is the main machine in the cell. It is the molecular mechanism that takes the information stored in the gene and translates it into information in protein sequence.

The ribosome has sites, which allow another specialized RNA molecule, known as tRNA, to bind to the mRNA. Binding of the correct tRNA to the mRNA on the ribosome is accomplished by an "anticodon" that is part of the tRNA.

Ribosomes are multimolecular aggregates containing RNAs and proteins. They can be separated into two subunits, a large and a small subunit. The ribosomes contain binding sites for mRNA, for tRNAs and for a variety of protein factors.

The amino acid sequence of proteins synthesized on ribosomes is thus determined by the sequence of the nucleotides in the genome.

The components of a typical prokaryotic cell are a cell wall, a cytoplasmic membrane, a single molecule of DNA, ribosomes and the cytoplasm. All other components, although they might be present, are essentially dispensable.

Messenger RNA is then translated via cellular machinery called ribosomes into a string of amino acids -- a protein. Some proteins function as enzymes, catalysts that speed the chemical reactions in cells.

The vector may also carry a ribosome binding sequence (for bacterial expression) and a start codon, depending on the nature of the inserted DNA. Some expression vectors produce fusion proteins.
