  1. DNA RNA Protein

  2. Flow of Information • DNA  RNA  Protein REPLICATION DNA

  3. Flow of Information • DNA  RNA  Protein TRANSCRIPTION

  4. Flow of Information • DNA  RNA  Protein TRANSLATION

  5. Defintions • Replication – DNA synthesis • Occurs in the nucleus • Transcription – RNA synthesis • Occurs in the nucleus • Translation – protein synthesis • Occurs in the cytoplasm at a __________

  6. Eukaryotic gene expression (overview)

  7. RNA Structure – review • Single strand of covalently bonded RNA nucleotides • RNA nucleotides: • Ribose – 5 carbon sugar • Phosphate group bonded to carbon 3 or carbon 5 of ribose • Nitrogenous base bonded to carbon 1 of ribose • Adenine -- Uracil (replaces thymine) • Guanine -- Cytosine

  8. RNA nucleotides • 5 C Sugar = ribose • Phosphate • Base – A, G, C, or U • purine vs pyrimidine? 5’ 1’ 3’ RNA BASES ADENINE CYTOSINE URACIL GUANINE

  9. Transcription • RNA is made complementary to a short segment of DNA • Section of DNA transcribed is called a gene • DNA opens up at the location of a gene • RNA polymerase attaches to a promotersequence (TATA sequence) on one of the DNA strands

  10. Transcription • RNA is made complementary to the sense strand of DNA by RNA polymerase • No primer sequence is needed • RNA is made in the 5’  3’ direction • RNA is made anti-parallel to the DNA strand

  11. Transcription • Newly synthesized RNA detaches from the chromosome • DNA reforms the double helix

  12. Fate of the RNA • RNA may be one of three types: • mRNA = messenger RNA • Needs to be processed before leaving the nucleus • rRNA = ribosomal RNA • Used to make a ribosome • tRNA = transfer RNA

  13. Processing of mRNA • mRNA is modified before leaving the nucleus 1. “Cap” is added to the 5’ end • cap is often a phosphate and/or methyl group 2. Poly-A tail is added to the 3’ end • The longer the tail the longer the mRNA can be used to direct protein synthesis See page 194

  14. Processing of mRNA 3. Segments called introns are removed and the remaining mRNA segments, called exons, are joined – page 194 • Splicing of exons may occur in more than one way • Each results in synthesis of a different mRNA and a different protein

  15. RNA Processing 5’ 5’

  16. mRNA • Function: order of the bases in the mRNA determines the primary structure of a protein • Primary structure = ____________________ • mRNA strands are fairly long, ~ 1,000 -10,000 nucleotides long

  17. Ribosome Review • The ribosomal subunits are made at the _________ • Ribosomes function in the ______________

  18. rRNA • Function: structural component of a ribosome • Ribosomes: • Made of 2 subunits, large and small • Each is made up of rRNAs and proteins • Two subunits come together in the cytoplasm during protein synthesis

  19. tRNA • Function: each tRNAs brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

  20. tRNA • There are 61 different tRNA in the cell • There are only ____ amino acids • Therefore, most amino acids can be brought to the ribosome by more than one tRNA • Each tRNA is ~ 80 bases long and folds into a cloverleaf formation

  21. tRNA • At the bottom of the cloverleaf is a 3 base sequence called the anticodon • A specific a.a. attaches to the top of the cloverleaf at the sequence ACC • The anticodon specifies which a.a. the tRNA will carry

  22. tRNA

  23. AMINO ACID The codon on the mRNA is correlated to the amino acid on the tRNA – see chart on page 192 tRNA mRNA mRNA Bases H bond With tRNA Bases

  24. trNA, mRNA, and aa • The anticodon on tRNA hydrogen bonds to the complementary codon on mRNA • mRNA codon: A U G • tRNA anticodon: _________ • Amino acid on tRNA: __________

  25. Anticodons • There are 61 different tRNA/anticodons each carrying a specific amino acid • Yet there are 64 possible anticodons…..

  26. Translation • Translation – protein synthesis • Occurs in the cytoplasm at a ribosome • Involves: • Ribosomal subunits • tRNA’s with their appropriate amino acids attached • mRNA, to be read in the 5’ to 3’ direction

  27. Translation • Three stages of translation: • Initiation • Elongation • Termination

  28. Eukaryotic Initiation – page 197, 10.13B • Small subunit of the ribosome binds to the mRNA at the 5’ end of the mRNA • The small subunit has the tRNA with an anticodon complementary to AUG attached • This tRNA carries the aa _______________ • Small subunit with the tRNA travels down the mRNA to the first AUG • AUG = start codon for all protein synthesis

  29. Initiation • Large subunit of ribosome binds • Initiation is now complete.

  30. More about ribosomes • A ribosome has two tRNA binding sites • “P” site • Binds the tRNA attached to the growing protein chain • “A” site • Binds the tRNA with the next amino acid to be added to the growing protein

  31. Elongation • tRNA with anticodon complementary to the next codon on the mRNA enters the “A” site of the ribosome and H bonds to the mRNA

  32. Elongation • The ribosome is now full • The tRNA for methionine is in the “P” site • The tRNA carrying the second amino acid is in the “A” site

  33. Elongation • The two amino acids in the ribosome are joined by a peptide bond • The reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme in the large subunit of the ribosome • The bond between the initiator a.a. and its tRNA breaks

  34. Elongation • The ribosome moves down 3 bases on the mRNA • the initiator (first) tRNA falls out of the ribosome • the tRNA bonded to the peptide bonded amino acids is transferred into the P site • The A site is now empty

  35. Elongation • The tRNA with an anticodon complementary to the next codon enters the A site of the ribosome

  36. Elongation • A peptide bond forms between the 3rd amino acid and the dipeptide • Bond between the tRNA in the P site and the growing protein chain breaks • This tRNA falls out of the ribosome as the ribosome moves down three bases

  37. Elongation • The next tRNA enters the A site • A peptide bond forms between the 4rd amino acid and the tripeptide • Bond between tRNA in the P site and the growing protein chain breaks • This tRNA falls out of the ribosome as the ribosome moves down three bases • Process repeats and repeats……until…..

  38. Termination • …..The ribosome reaches a stop codon • Stop codon = codon on the mRNA for which there isn’t a tRNA with a complementary anticodon • There are 3 stop codons • See page 198

  39. Termination • In response to the stop codon a release factor enters the ribosome and attaches to the A site • As a result the following are released: • Protein detaches from the tRNA in the P site • Ribosomal subunits fall off the mRNA • Last tRNA falls out of the ribosome

  40. Translation • The mRNA can be used over and over again to direct protein synthesis • Each time it is read a little of the poly A tail is destroyed • When the tail becomes too short, the mRNA is no longer functional and targeted for destruction

  41. Eukaryotic gene expression (overview)

  42. Translation • Since mRNA is fairly long it can be read by more than one ribosome at a time • Called a polysome when many ribosomes are reading the same mRNA --------------------------------------------------------- • http://vcell.ndsu.nodak.edu/animations/translation/index.htm

  43. Mutations • Mutation – permanent change in the DNA • Base substitution mutation • Addition/deletion mutations • Frameshift mutations

  44. BASE SUBSTITUTION MUTATIONS Can Have Variety of Impacts on the Protein Made # 1 - Silent Mutation # 2 and 3 – One amino acid changed in the protein, variable effects # 4 – Devastating, protein is truncated

  45. ADDITION/ DELETION mutations-> frameshift • A frameshift mutation results in a change in the • codons read by the ribosome • Can Be Very Disruptive; • Especially if Early in Sequence Mutation A added to the DNA Correct DNA: TAC,TTC,AAC,CGT,TT Correct mRNA: AUG,AAG,UUG,GCA,AA…. Mutated mRNA: AUG,AAG,UUU,GGC,UAA

  46. Mutagens • Mutagens • Ionizing radiation (x-rays, radiation) • Nonionizing radiation (UV light) • Creates thymine-thymine dimers • Chemotherapy and radiation treatment mutate the DNA of cells during DNA replication • Mutates and potentially kills both cancer cells and healthy cells
