Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In eukaryotes, the small subunit of the ribosome recognizes and attaches to the 5' cap of mRNA before the base pairing of activated methionine-tRNA to AUG of the mRNA, binding of the larger ribosomal subunit to smaller ribosomal subunits, elongation of the polypeptide, and covalent bonding between the first two amino acids. Therefore, the small subunit of the ribosome recognizing and attaching to the 5' cap of mRNA is the first event to occur in eukaryotic translation.
