Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. DNA and Biotechnology  Form of DNA  Replication of DNA  Gene expression  Mutations  Regulating gene activity  Genetic engineering  Genomics

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Form of DNA  DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)  Double-stranded molecule twisted to form a double helix  Resembles a ladder  Each side and half of each rung is made from a string of repeating units called nucleotides

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Form of DNA  Nucleotide  One sugar (deoxyribose in DNA)  One phosphate  One nitrogenous (nitrogen-containing) base

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Form of DNA  DNA has four nitrogenous bases  Adenine (A)  Guanine (G)  Thymine (T)  Cytosine (C)

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Form of DNA  Rungs of ladder consist of paired nitrogenous bases  Bases attach according to rules of complementary base pairing  Adenine (A) pairs only with thymine (T)  Cytosine (C) pairs only with guanine (G)  Each pair of bases held together by hydrogen bonds

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Form of DNA  Genetic information is encoded in the exact sequence of bases

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Form of DNA Web Activity: The Structure of DNA

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Replication of DNA  DNA must be exactly copied before both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions  Copying process = DNA replication

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Replication of DNA  DNA replication  Begins when an enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds that hold together the paired bases of the parent molecule  Two strands of the double helix separate and unwind  Nitrogenous bases on the separated regions are temporarily exposed  Free nucleotide bases in the nucleus attach to exposed complementary bases

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Replication of DNA  DNA replication (cont.)  DNA polymerases link the sugars and phosphates  As each of the new double-stranded DNA molecules forms, it twists into a double helix

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Replication of DNA  DNA replication is described as semiconservative  In each of the new double-stranded DNA molecules:  One original (parent) strand is saved (conserved)  Other (daughter) strand is new

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Replication of DNA  Complementary base pairing creates two new DNA molecules that are identical to the parent molecule  The replication process ensures that genetic information is passed accurately from a parent cell to daughter cells

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  How does DNA direct cellular activities?  DNA codes for RNA, which codes for proteins  Proteins play structural or functional roles in cells

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Gene  Segment of DNA with instructions for producing a particular protein (or polypeptide)  Expressed when the protein it codes for is produced

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  RNA (ribonucleic acid) differs from DNA  Single-stranded  Contains the base uracil (U), and not thymine (T)  Contains the sugar ribose, not deoxyribose

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Protein synthesis occurs in two steps  Transcription  Translation

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Transcription  Synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA) using DNA as a template  mRNA carries DNA’s instructions for synthesizing a protein from the nucleus to the cytoplasm

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Steps in transcription  DNA unzips along hydrogen bonds  Free RNA nucleotides pair with the complementary DNA bases (C-G and U-A) along the exposed DNA strand, forming an RNA transcript  RNA transcript released from the DNA  DNA closes again

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Promoter  Sequence of DNA that starts transcription  RNA polymerase  Enzyme that binds with promoter, opens up DNA helix, and aligns and links together the RNA nucleotides  Another sequence of bases is the stop signal

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  Modifications to mRNA before it leaves the nucleus  Removal of introns  Introns = intervening sequences  Regions of DNA between promoter and stop signal that do not have codes that will be translated into a protein  Regions of mRNA corresponding to introns are snipped out by enzymes  Exons (= expressed sequences) left to direct protein synthesis

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression Web Activity: Transcription

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Translation  Converts the nucleotide language of mRNA into the amino acid language of a protein

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Genetic code  Converts the DNA base sequence into an amino acid sequence  Codon  “Words” in the genetic code  A three-base sequence that translates into one amino acid  Example: UUC on mRNA specifies the amino acid phenylalanine

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Stop codons  UAA, UAG, and UGA  Signal the end of a protein  Do not code for an amino acid

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression Web Activity: The Genetic Code

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Transfer RNA (tRNA)  Converts genetic message carried by mRNA into particular sequence of amino aids  Recognizes both the codon on mRNA and the amino acid specified by the codon  Enzymes ensure tRNA binds with correct amino acid  Ferries amino acid to the correct location along the mRNA strand

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Anticodon  A three-base sequence on tRNA that is complementary to the mRNA codon  Binds to codon on mRNA and specific amino acid is added to growing polypeptide chain

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  Ribosomes  Structure  Two subunits, each composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein  Function  Bring tRNA bearing an amino acid close enough to mRNA to interact  Permit alignment of anticodon and codon

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  Translation consists of three stages  Initiation  Elongation  Termination

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Gene Expression  Initiation  Major players in protein synthesis come together (mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomal subunits)

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  Elongation  Occurs as enzymes in the ribosome link the amino acids, forming a growing chain of amino acids

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  Polysome  Cluster of ribosomes simultaneously translating the same mRNA

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression  Termination  Occurs when a stop codon moves into the ribosome

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gene Expression Web Activity: Translation

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Mutations  Mutations  Changes in DNA  Passed to offspring only when they occur in a gamete

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Mutations  Types  Chromosomal  Occur when whole sections of chromosomes are duplicated or deleted  Gene  Changes in the order of nucleotides in DNA  Those involving insertion or deletion of nucleotides can greatly change resulting protein

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Regulating Gene Activity  Only certain genes are active in a certain type of cell  Most genes are turned off in any given cell  This leads to specialization  Active genes produce specific proteins that determine the structure and function of a particular cell

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Regulating Gene Activity  Gene activity is regulated simultaneously at several levels  Chromosomal level  Coiling and uncoiling of DNA  When DNA tightly coiled, genes not expressed  Transcription of genes  Enhancers increase rate of transcription of certain genes  Steroid hormones turn on specific genes

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Engineering  Biotechnology  Field in which scientists make controlled use of living cells to perform specific tasks

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Engineering  Genetic engineering  A subset of biotechnology involving the manipulation of DNA for human purposes  Some uses  Produce drugs and hormones  Improve treatments of human diseases  Increase food production from plants and animals

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Engineering  Recombinant DNA  DNA made from two or more sources  Created when a gene of interest (one that produces a useful protein or trait) is put into another piece of DNA

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Engineering  Steps in genetic engineering  Create recombinant DNA  Restriction enzymes used to cut gene of interest out of original DNA and splice it into vector DNA  Plasmids are common vectors  Circular pieces of DNA that exist separately from bacterial chromosome

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Genetic Engineering  Steps (cont.)  Vector (recombined plasmids) taken up by bacteria (new host cells)  Bacteria containing gene of interest identified and isolated  Produce numerous copies of the gene (amplify the gene)  Bacterial cloning  Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Genetic Engineering Web Activity: The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Engineering  Genetic engineering  Means to produce large quantities of desired proteins (for example, growth hormone)  Allows a gene for a desirable trait to be taken from one species and transferred to the cells of another species, making a transgenic organism

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genetic Engineering  Applications of genetic engineering  Environmental  Example: oil-eating microbes that can withstand ocean conditions  Livestock  Example: cows that produce more milk  Pharmaceuticals  Example: gene pharming  Create transgenic animals that produce a protein with medicinal value in their milk, eggs, or blood  Collect and purify protein

Genetic Engineering  Gene therapy  Put functional genes into body cells affected by defective (mutant) gene  Viruses used to deliver healthy gene  Potential to cure inherited diseases  Some success with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) and X-SCID (mutant gene on X chromosome)

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Genomics  Genome  Entire set of genes carried by one member of a species  Genomics  Study of entire genomes

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genomics  Human Genome Project  Sequenced all of the DNA in a representative human cell  Human genome consists of 20,000–25,000 genes  Humans are identical in 99.9% of the sequences of their genes

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Genomics  Microarray  Tool used to analyze gene activity under different conditions  Thousands of DNA sequences stamped onto a single glass slide (DNA chip)  Can be used to identify genes that are active in cancerous cells, but not in healthy cells

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Genomics  Comparisons of genomes of different species provide evidence of common evolutionary past  We share 50% of our genes with fruit flies  We share 90% of our genes with mice
