Protein Synthesis Computer Filename: Protsyna.ppt Material for Introductory Microbiology
Overview Genes are composed of DNA within the chromosome Genes code for proteins DNA is transcripted into RNA RNA is translated into protein by ribosomes Genes regulated by control of RNA production
Lecture Outline Protein synthesis tRNA structure adding amino acids to tRNA ribosome structure ribosome attachment protein synthesis :initiation, elongation, attachment
Concepts from OAC Structure & Function of DNA & RNA Genetic code Transcription & translation Protein synthesis
Background Terms & Concepts Structure of DNA & RNA Ribosomes Enzymes
CODONS sequences of three adjacent nucleotides that code for one amino acid or polypetide termination 64 codons encrypt of ~ 20 amino acids degenerate ACU, ACC,ACA, ACG threonine Start codon AUG (also codes for methionine) Stop codon UAA,UAG,UGA (nonsense codons)
Interpreting the Genetic Code Two step process :Transcription -translation Transcription DNA --> RNA Translation RNA--> protein
Transcription Production of an RNA copy of the gene occurs in nucleus DNA unravels- single strand RNA Polymerase binds to Promotor site Reads to stop codon assembles complementary single strand of RNA (primary RNA) Disengages when reaches stop codon
Ribosomal RNA called rRNA found in Ribosomes catalytic site provides site for protein assembly ribosomal structure different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Prokaryotic ribosome 70S large ribosomal subunit 50S 1,600,000 34 proteins 5S RNA 120 nucleotides 23S RNA 2900 nucleotides Small ribosomal subunit 30S 900,000 21 proteins 16s RNA 1540 nucleotides
Eukaryotic ribosome 80 S 4,200,000 large subunit 60S 2,800,000 49 proteins 5s RNA 120 nucleotides 28s RNA 4700 nuclotides 5.8 s RNA 160 nuclotides Small subunit 40S 1,400,000 33 proteins 18s RNA 1900 nuclotides
Transfer RNA called tRNA Smaller than mRNA or rRNA found in cytoplasm 40 different kinds of tRNA transports amino acids to ribosome positions amino acids on elongating polypeptide
