Protein Synthesis

Protein Synthesis. “ From code into Flesh & Blood ”. Why RNA Synthesis is “easier”. Whole DNA molecule not unwound:  no single-stranded binding proteins  no topoisomerase RNA polymerse, not DNA polymerase  no primer needed  still 5’ 3’ (but no lagging strand, no Okazaki fragments).

Presentation Transcript


  1. Protein Synthesis “From code into Flesh & Blood”

  2. Why RNA Synthesis is “easier” • Whole DNA molecule not unwound:  no single-stranded binding proteins  no topoisomerase • RNA polymerse, not DNA polymerase  no primer needed  still 5’ 3’ (but no lagging strand, no Okazaki fragments)

  3. Protein Synthesis: Prok vs. Euk • Location • mRNA processing

  9. mRNA “processing” • “Head” end – “5’ cap” = modified guanine • “Tail” end – 3’ “poly-A’ tail • “splicing” of message!?! • Cut out “introns” • “exons” are expressed

  10. Eukaryotic cells modify RNA after transcription

  11. Three Types of RNA • mRNA • tRNA • rRNA • All single stranded • All transcribed from DNA “genes” • Only mRNA translated into protein
