All of the above components are required for the initiation of protein synthesis in prokaryotes. mRNA carries the genetic information and provides the template for protein synthesis. The 30S subunit of the ribosome binds to the mRNA, along with the initiator tRNA (fMet-tRNAf) which carries the first amino acid of the protein. GTP is required for energy and to facilitate the binding of the initiator tRNA to the ribosome.
