1
RNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
2
Central Dogma of Biology! Genes are codes for making polypeptides (proteins) The nitrogenous bases (ATCG’s) contain the code! DNA is stored in the nucleus and proteins are made in the cytoplasm
3
How your cell makes very important proteins 1.Transcription – copy of the code 2. Translation – translation into proteins DNA RNA ProteinDNA RNA Protein Such as…. Insulin, testosterone, human growth hormone, amylase, serotonin, melatonin, melanin, dystrophin, platlets etc.…...
4
Before making proteins, Your cell must first make RNA Question:Question: RNA(ribonucleic acid) DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)How does RNA (ribonucleic acid) differ from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)?
5
RNADNA RNA differs from DNA RNAsugar ribose 1.RNA has a sugar ribose DNAsugar deoxyribose DNA has a sugar deoxyribose RNAuracil (U) 2.RNA contains uracil (U) DNAthymine (T) DNA has thymine (T) RNAsingle-stranded 3.RNA molecule is single-stranded DNAdouble-stranded DNA is double-stranded
7
1. Transcription OR RNA production RNA molecules are produced by copying part of DNA into a complementary sequence of mRNA This process is started and controlled by an enzyme called Helicase – “unzips” the double stranded DNA.
8
1. Transcription DNA mRNA (messenger RNA) Helicase Helicase opens the DNA and DNA polymerase Adds base pairs to the mRNA strand. (copy of the DNA)
9
Question: RNADNAWhat would be the complementary RNA strand for the following DNA sequence? Remember U replaces T DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’
10
Types of RNA Three types ofRNAThree types of RNA: A.messenger RNA (mRNA) B.transfer RNA (tRNA) C.ribosome RNA (rRNA)
11
mRNA Carries instructions from DNA to the rest of the ribosome. Tells the ribosome what kind of protein to make Acts like an email from the principal to the cafeteria lady.

13
rRNA Part of the structure of a ribosome Location in the cytoplasm where translation occurs Helps in protein production tRNA Gets the right amino acids to make the right Protein according to mRNA copy of instructions
14
B. Transfer RNA (tRNA) methionine
15
Ribosomes P Site A Site Large subunit Small subunit mRNA
16
2. RNA Processing pre-RNA molecule intron exon Mature RNA molecule exon intron splicesome
17
3. Translation Three parts: initiation 1.initiation: start codon (AUG) - Primer elongation 2.elongation: codon is read and amino acid attached. termination 3.termination: stop codon (UAG) Watch a PROTEIN being made!!!!!Watch a PROTEIN being made!!!!!

27
End Product primary structure of a proteinThe end products of protein synthesis is a primary structure of a protein. amino acid peptide bondsA sequence of amino acid bonded together by peptide bonds. Tyr Asp Glu Ala Stop
28
Question: The anticodon UAC belongs to a tRNA that recognizes and binds to a particular amino acid.The anticodon UAC belongs to a tRNA that recognizes and binds to a particular amino acid. What would be the DNA base code for this amino acid?What would be the DNA base code for this amino acid?
29
Answer: tRNA - UAC (anticodon)tRNA - UAC (anticodon) mRNA- AUG (codon)mRNA- AUG (codon) DNA - TACDNA - TAC
30
Mutations changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA Types: deletion, insertion, substitution, repeats, rearrangement
