Presentation Transcript

  1. transcription The first step of gene expression – synthesis of RNA molecule

  2. Some nomenclature conventions RNAP

  3. RNA DNA

  4. Similarities and Differences Between DNA and RNA RNA DNA • Similar strand structure • Can define a 5’ and 3’ end • 2’ hydroxyl in RNA: causes stability differences) • Uracil in RNA takes the place of Thymine in in DNA

  5. Secondary structure of RNA Stem & loop

  6. Difference between DNA and RNA. • DNA – Double Helix, RNA – Single Stranded • DNA --- A-T, RNA ---A-U • DNA ---Deoxyribose Sugar, RNA---Ribose • What is a similarity of DNA and RNA? • G binds with C in both DNA and RNA • Both have sugar and phosphate backbone

  7. The pathway of gene expression

  8. CAP

  9. Conserved seqences Polypyrimidine tract

  10. גן הבטא גלובין ההומני

  11. Splice sites can be included in the exons

  12. mRNA splicing lariat

  13. spliceosome מעגל מחזורי של ראקציית השיחבור ספליסוזום

  14. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Lupus is a type of immune system disorder known as an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune diseases, the body harms its own healthy cells and tissues. This leads to inflammation and damage of various body tissues. Lupus can affect many parts of the body, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems. Lupus is also known as a rheumatic disease. The rheumatic diseases are a group of disorders that cause aches, pain, and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and bones.

  20. Compared to worm and fly, human has shorter exons and longer introns on the extremes of the distribution 150 nt – drosophila 125 nt – Ciona intes. 119 nt - human

  21. 5000 genes 234 introns Multi-introns genes 7.8 introns per gene

  22. Sequences of human-mouse homologous exons are 88% conserved

  23. Alternative splicing Alternative splicing פוליפרימידין טראק 40% 18% 8% ? 3% isoform
