From DNA to Protein

From DNA to Protein. Remember Genes On Chromosomes???. Some genes contain the instructions to make a protein. Some proteins are:. Structural. Functiona l. Gives form and structure…… Examples: Keratin (skin, nails, horns), Collagen (connective tissue), Actin and Myosin (muscles).

Presentation Transcript

  1. From DNA to Protein

  2. Remember Genes On Chromosomes??? • Some genes contain the instructions to make a protein

  3. Some proteins are: Structural Functional Gives form and structure…… Examples: Keratin (skin, nails, horns), Collagen (connective tissue), Actin and Myosin (muscles) Have a job to do…..Examples: Hormones (signal proteins such as insulin), enzymes, antibodies

  4. ***Proteins are polymers made up of single subunits called amino acids ***Amino acids bonded together (a peptide bond)

  5. From Gene to Protein • DNA can’t do it alone. Needs the help of another nucleic acid molecule called RNA (Ribonucleic acid) mRNA, messenger RNA ** RNA involved: tRNA, transfer RNA

  6. Compare DNA and RNA DNA RNA A, G, C, T A, G, C, U *Double-Stranded *Deoxyribose sugar *Single-Stranded *Ribose sugar

  7. How are Proteins Assembled?? • 2 step process make up protein synthesis: • Transcription • Translation

  8. Protein Synthesis Basics

  9. Protein Synthesis is Like a Factory………. DNA, has the instructions (genetic code) to build a protein

  10. TRANSCRIPTION The process by which DNA is ‘read’ to produce a strand of mRNA. Notice there are NO T’s in mRNA!!! RNA polymerase 5’ 3’ A G T C G T C A A T G C T A T G C A T T C C G T A C T C A G C A G T T A C G A T A C G T A A G G C A T G DNA 3’ 5’ A G U C G U C A A U G C U A U G C A U U C C G U A C mRNA 5’ 3’

  11. Three mRNA Bases Are Called Codons ** mRNA’s codons code for one of 20 naturally occurring amino acids (See your handout) ** Eample; AUG is amino acid Methionine (Met), the codon that begins translation **A stop codon (*UAA, UAG or UGA) ends the process

  12. mRNA binds to a ribosome that “reads” the mRNA codons mRNA codon

  13. When tRNA (transfer RNA) has an anti-codon that compliments mRNA’s codon, it will release its amino acid Amino Acid tRNA Anti-Codon mRNA Codon

  15. Polypeptides • Proteins are polypeptides • They fold according to its function such as enzymes and antibodies

  16. Recall Enzymes proteins thatcontrol biochemical reactions including the synthesis ofDNA, RNA and Proteins

  17. Let’s Synthesize! ** Look at your table of mRNA codons! ** Remember, to decipher amino acid sequence you read the mRNA codonNOT the tRNA anti-codon DNA Instruction Code TAC CCG AGC GTA TGC TTC GGA GTA ATT mRNA’s Transcription AUG GGC UCG CAU ACG AAG CCU CAU UAA tRNA’s Translation UAC CCG AGC GUA UGC UUC GGA GUA AUU Amino Acid (based on mRNA!!!) Met Gly Ser His Thr Lys Pro His Stop Start ** Notice that tRNA is EXACTLY the same as DNA but the T’s have been replaced with U’s
