Chapter 7: Molecular Biology AP Biology Exam Review

Frederick Griffith (1928) Conclusion: living R bacteria transformed into deadly S bacteria by unknown, heritable substance Oswald Avery, et al. (1944) Discovered that the transforming agent was DNA

Hershey and Chase (1952) Bacteriophages: virus that infects bacteria; composed of DNA and protein Protein = radiolabel S DNA = radiolabel P Conclusion: DNA entered infected bacteria  DNA must be the genetic material!

Edwin Chargaff (1947) Chargaff’s Rules: DNA composition varies between species Ratios: %A = %T and %G = %C

Structure of DNA Scientists: Watson & Crick Rosalind Franklin DNA = double helix “Backbone” = sugar + phosphate “Rungs” = nitrogenous bases

Structure of DNA Nitrogenous Bases Pairing: Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Pairing: purine + pyrimidine A = T G Ξ C purine pyrimidine

Structure of DNA Hydrogen bonds between base pairs of the two strands hold the molecule together like a zipper.

Structure of DNA Antiparallel: one strand (5’ 3’), other strand runs in opposite, upside-down direction (3’  5’)

DNA Comparison Prokaryotic DNA Eukaryotic DNA Double-stranded Circular One chromosome In cytoplasm No histones Supercoiled DNA Double-stranded Linear Usually 1+ chromosomes In nucleus DNA wrapped around histones (proteins) Forms chromatin

Replication is semiconservative

Major Steps of Replication: Helicase: unwinds DNA at origins of replication Initiation proteins separate 2 strands  forms replication bubble Primase: puts down RNA primer to start replication DNA polymerase III: adds complimentary bases to leading strand (new DNA is made 5’  3’) Lagging strand grows in 3’5’ direction by the addition of Okazaki fragments DNA polymerase I: replaces RNA primers with DNA DNA ligase: seals fragments together

1. Helicase unwinds DNA at origins of replication and creates replication forks

3. Primase adds RNA primer

4. DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides in 5’3’ direction on leading strand

Replication on leading strand

Leading strand vs. Lagging strand

Okazaki Fragments: Short segments of DNA that grow 5’3’ that are added onto the Lagging Strand DNA Ligase: seals together fragments

Proofreading and Repair DNA polymerases proofread as bases added Mismatch repair: special enzymes fix incorrect pairings Nucleotide excision repair: Nucleases cut damaged DNA DNA poly and ligase fill in gaps

Nucleotide Excision Repair Errors: Pairing errors: 1 in 100,000 nucleotides Complete DNA: 1 in 10 billion nucleotides

Problem at the 5’ End DNA poly only adds nucleotides to 3’ end No way to complete 5’ ends of daughter strands Over many replications, DNA strands will grow shorter and shorter

Eukaryotic germ cells, cancer cells Telomeres: repeated units of short nucleotide sequences (TTAGGG) at ends of DNA Telomeres “cap” ends of DNA to postpone erosion of genes at ends (TTAGGG) Telomerase: enzyme that adds to telomeres Eukaryotic germ cells, cancer cells Telomeres stained orange at the ends of mouse chromosomes

Flow of genetic information Central Dogma: DNA  RNA  protein Transcription: DNA  RNA Translation: RNA  protein Ribosome = site of translation Gene Expression: process by which DNA directs the synthesis of proteins (or RNAs)

Flow of Genetic Information in Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes

one gene = one polypeptide DNA RNA Nucleic acid composed of nucleotides Single-stranded Ribose=sugar Uracil Helper in steps from DNA to protein Nucleic acid composed of nucleotides Double-stranded Deoxyribose=sugar Thymine Template for individual

RNA plays many roles in the cell pre-mRNA=precursor to mRNA, newly transcribed and not edited mRNA= the edited version; carries the code from DNA that specifies amino acids tRNA= carries a specific amino acid to ribosome based on its anticodon to mRNA codon rRNA= makes up 60% of the ribosome; site of protein synthesis snRNA=small nuclear RNA; part of a spliceosome. Has structural and catalytic roles srpRNA=a signal recognition particle that binds to signal peptides RNAi= interference RNA; a regulatory molecule

The Genetic Code For each gene, one DNA strand is the template strand mRNA (5’  3’) complementary to template mRNA triplets (codons) code for amino acids in polypeptide chain

The Genetic Code 64 different codon combinations Redundancy: 1+ codons code for each of 20 AAs Reading frame: groups of 3 must be read in correct groupings This code is universal: all life forms use the same code.

Transcription Transcription unit: stretch of DNA that codes for a polypeptide or RNA (eg. tRNA, rRNA) RNA polymerase: Separates DNA strands and transcribes mRNA mRNA elongates in 5’  3’ direction Uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) when pairing to adenine (A) Attaches to promoter (start of gene) and stops at terminator (end of gene)

1. Initiation Bacteria: RNA polymerase binds directly to promoter in DNA

1. Initiation Eukaryotes: TATA box = DNA sequence (TATAAAA) upstream from promoter Transcription factors must recognize TATA box before RNA polymerase can bind to DNA promoter

2. Elongation RNA polymerase adds RNA nucleotides to the 3’ end of the growing chain (A-U, G-C)

2. Elongation As RNA polymerase moves, it untwists DNA, then rewinds it after mRNA is made

3. Termination RNA polymerase transcribes a terminator sequence in DNA, then mRNA and polymerase detach. It is now called pre-mRNA for eukaryotes. Prokaryotes = mRNA ready for use

Additions to pre-mRNA: 5’ cap (modified guanine) and 3’ poly-A tail (50-520 A’s) are added Help export from nucleus, protect from enzyme degradation, attach to ribosomes

RNA Splicing Pre-mRNA has introns (noncoding sequences) and exons (codes for amino acids) Splicing = introns cut out, exons joined together

Ribozyme = RNA acts as enzyme RNA Splicing small nuclear ribonucleoproteins = snRNPs snRNP = snRNA + protein Pronounced “snurps” Recognize splice sites snRNPs join with other proteins to form a spliceosome Spliceosomes catalyze the process of removing introns and joining exons Ribozyme = RNA acts as enzyme

Why have introns? Some regulate gene activity Alternative RNA Splicing: produce different combinations of exons One gene can make more than one polypeptide! 20,000 genes  100,000 polypeptides

Components of Translation mRNA = message tRNA = interpreter Ribosome = site of translation

tRNA Transcribed in nucleus Specific to each amino acid Transfer AA to ribosomes Anticodon: pairs with complementary mRNA codon Base-pairing rules between 3rd base of codon & anticodon are not as strict. This is called wobble.

tRNA Aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase: enzyme that binds tRNA to specific amino acid

Ribosomes Ribosome = rRNA + proteins made in nucleolus 2 subunits

Ribosomes A site: holds AA to be added Active sites: A site: holds AA to be added P site: holds growing polypeptide chain E site: exit site for tRNA

Translation: 1. Initiation Small subunit binds to start codon (AUG) on mRNA tRNA carrying Met attaches to P site Large subunit attaches

2. Elongation

3.Termination Stop codon reached and translation stops Release factor binds to stop codon; polypeptide is released Ribosomal subunits dissociate

Polyribosomes A single mRNA can be translated by several ribosomes at the same time

Protein Folding During synthesis, polypeptide chain coils and folds spontaneously Chaperonin: protein that helps polypeptide fold correctly

Cellular “Zip Codes” Signal peptide: 20 AA at leading end of polypeptide determines destination Signal-recognition particle (SRP): brings ribosome to ER

The Central Dogma Mutations happen here Effects play out here

Mutations = changes in the genetic material of a cell Large scale mutations: chromosomal; always cause disorders or death nondisjunction, translocation, inversions, duplications, large deletions Point mutations: alter 1 base pair of a gene Base-pair substitutions – replace 1 with another Missense: different amino acid Nonsense: stop codon, not amino acid Frameshift – mRNA read incorrectly; nonfunctional proteins Caused by insertions or deletions

Pulmonary hypertension Sickle Cell Disease Symptoms Anemia Pain Frequent infections Delayed growth Stroke Pulmonary hypertension Organ damage Blindness Jaundice gallstones Caused by a genetic defect Carried by 5% of humans Carried by up to 25% in some regions of Africa Life expectancy 42 in males 48 in females

Sickle-Cell Disease = Point Mutation

Mutation occurs in the beta chain – have them look at their amino acid structures and think about why the change may be important

Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote

Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes Transcription and translation both in cytoplasm DNA/RNA in cytoplasm RNA poly binds directly to promoter Transcription makes mRNA (not processed) No introns Transcription in nucleus; translation in cytoplasm DNA in nucleus, RNA travels in/out nucleus RNA poly binds to TATA box & transcription factors Transcription makes pre-mRNA  RNA processing  final mRNA Exons, introns (cut out)

A Summary of Protein Synthesis Most current definition for a gene: A region of DNA whose final product is either a polypeptide or an RNA molecule
