2  Key Concepts  Life depends on enzymes and other proteins.  All proteins consist of polypeptide chains.  The chains are sequences of amino acids that corresponds to genes—sequences of nucleotide bases in DNA.  The path leading from genes to proteins has two steps. Transcription and translation.

3  During transcription, the two stands of DNA double helix are unwound in a gene region.  Exposed chains of one strand become the template for assembling a single strand of RNA.  Only one type of RNA transcript encodes the message that gets translated into protein.  It is called messenger RNA (mRNA).

4  In transcription, the first step in protein synthesis, a sequence of nucleotide bases is exposed in a unwound region of a DNA strand.  That sequence is the template upon which a single stand of RNA is assembled from adenine, cytosine, quanine and uracil subunits.

6 6  Messenger RNA (mRNA)  Carries protein-building instruction  Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)  Major component of ribosomes  Transfer RNA (tRNA)  Delivers amino acids to ribosomes

8 8 Same two steps produce all proteins: 1) Transcription- DNA is transcribed to form mRNA  Occurs in the nucleus  mRNA moves into cytoplasm

9 9  Like DNA replication  Nucleotides added in 5’ to 3’ direction  Unlike DNA replication  Only small stretch is template  RNA polymerase catalyzes nucleotide addition  Product is a single strand of RNA

10 10  A base sequence in the DNA that signals the start of a gene  For transcription to occur, RNA polymerase must first bind to a promoter

18  In gene, transcription, a sequence of exposed bases on one of the two strands of the DNA molecule serves as a template for synthesizing a complementary strand of mRNA.  RNA polymerase assemble the RNA from four kinds of ribonucelotides that differ I their bases: A,U,C,G.  Before leaving the nucleus, each new mRNA transcript, or pre-mRNA, undergoes modification into final form.

19  Key Concepts  The nucleotide sequence in DNA is read three bases at a time.  Sixty four base triplets correspond to specific amino acids and represent the genetic code.  The code words have been highly conserved through time.  Only in a few eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and prokaryote derived organelles have slight variation on the code.

20  The correspondence between genes and proteins is encoded in protein-building “words” in mRNA transcripts.  Three nucleotide bases make up each three letter code.

21 21  Set of 64 base triplets  Codons  61 specify amino acids  3 stop translation http://learning.mgccc.cc.ms.us/jd/science /carter/chapter14/animations/genetic_co de.html

22  The gentic code is a set of 64 different codons, which are nucleotide bases in mRNA that are “read” in sets of three.  Different codons (base triplets) specify different amino acids.

23  Key Concepts  During translation, amino acids are bonded together in a polypeptide chain in a sequence specified by the base triplets in mRNA.  Transfer RNA delivers amino acids one at a time to the ribosome.  An RNA component of ribosome catalyzes the chain reaction.

24  The codons in mRNA transcript are the words in protein building messages.  Without translators, words that originated from DNA mean nothing: it take the other two classes of RNA to synthesize the proteins.

25 25 2) Translation- mRNA with tRNA and rRNA at a ribosome is translated to form polypeptide chains of amino acids, which fold to form proteins, occurs in cytoplasm

26  Only mRNA carries DNA’s protein building instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.  Transfer RNA (tRNA) deliver amino acids to ribosome.  Their anticodons base pair with codons in the order specified by mRNA.  Polypeptide chains are built on ribosomes, each consisting of a large and a small subunit made of tRNA and proteins.

27  Key Concepts  An mRNA transcript encodes DNA’s information about a protein enters an intact ribosome.  There, its codons are translated into polypeptide chain – a protein primary structure.  Translation of the protein building message proceeds through three continuous stages called: initiation, elongation and termination.

30 30  Initiator tRNA binds to small ribosomal subunit  Small subunit/tRNA complex attaches to mRNA and moves along it to an AUG “start” codon  Large ribosomal subunit joins complex http://learning.mgccc.cc.ms.us/jd/science/carter/chapter14/animatio ns/ribosome.html

31 31 binding site for mRNA P (first binding site for tRNA) A (second binding site for tRNA)

32 32  mRNA passes through ribosomal subunits  tRNAs deliver amino acids to the ribosomal binding site in the order specified by the mRNA  Peptide bonds form between the amino acids and the polypeptide chain grows

33 33

34 34  Stop codon into place  No tRNA with anticodon  Release factors bind to the ribosome  mRNA and polypeptide are released new polypeptide chain mRNA http://learning.mgccc.cc.ms.us/jd/science /carter/chapter14/animations/protein_sy nthesis.html

35  Translation is initiated when a small ribosomal subunit and an initiator tRNA arrive at a mRNA transcript's start codon, and a large ribosomal subunit binds to them.  tRNA delivers amino acids to a ribosome in the order dictated by the linear sequence of mRNA codons.  A polypeptide chain lengthens as peptide bonds from between amino acids.  Translation ends when a stop codon triggers events that cause the polypeptide chain and the mRNA to detach from the ribosome.

36  Key Concepts  Gene mutations introduce changes in protein structure, protein function, or both.  The changes may lead to small variation in the shared traits that characterize individuals of a population.  When a cell taps its genetic code, it is making proteins with precise structural and functional roles that keep it alive.

37  If a gene changes, the mRNA transcribed from it may change a specify an altered protein.  If the protein has a critical role, the out come will be a dead or abnormal cell.

42 42  DNA segments that move spontaneously about the genome  When they insert into a gene region, they usually inactivate that gene

43 43  Each gene has a characteristic mutation rate  Average rate for eukaryotes is between 10 -4 and 10 -6 per gene per generation  Only mutations that arise in germ cells can be passed on to next generation

44 44  Ionizing radiation (X rays)  Nonionizing radiation (UV)  Natural and synthetic chemicals

45  A gene mutation is permanent in one or more bases in the nucleotide sequence of DNA.  The most common types are base pair substitution, deletion, and insertion.  Exposure to harmful radiation and chemicals in the environment can cause mutations in DNA.  A protein specified by a mutated gene may be harmful, neutral, or beneficial effect on the individual’s capacity to function in the environment.
