Protein translation overview. mRNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus before it is transported to the cytosol where it is translated into protein by ribosomes. tRNA molecules serve as the link between mRNA and the ribosome by presentation of mRNA-encoded amino acids to the ribosome for elongation of the nascent polypeptide chain, generating a newly synthesized protein.
