Solution
The signal to start translation is the initiator codon, usually AUG, the codon for methionine.

AUG is the usual initiation (start) codon on mRNA and specifies the amino acid methionine; the initiator tRNA brings methionine to begin translation (in bacteria, this methionine is formylated).
