10 RNA Structure & Function HW Work Time

11 Bio 9B: Tuesday, 2.28.11 Title: RNA Structure and Function
Homework: Read pages in the textbook. Take active reading notes, paying attention to important vocabulary terms and to the following purpose questions: How does the genetic code work? What are the steps of translation? Do Now: In your notebook: Next Slide Today’s Objectives: Explain the purpose of transcription and translation Describe the steps of translation Use the genetic code to translate a gene into a protein

12 MCAS Prep Question The mold Aspergillus flavus grows on grain. A. flavus produces a toxin that binds to DNA in the bodies of animals that eat the grain. The binding of the toxin to DNA blocks transcription, so it directly interferes with the ability of an animal cell to do which of the following? Produce ATP using energy released from glucose and other nutrient transport glucose across the cell membrane into the cytoplasm Transfer proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi complexes Send protein-building instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and ribosomes

13 The Genetic Code The 64 Codons that code for Amino Acids
Objectives for Class: Use the genetic code to translate a DNA or RNA sequence into an amino acid sequence to make a protein.

14 Reading The Genetic Code
mRNA codons are 3 bases long and specify a particular amino acid. To use the wheel, the 1st base (letter) of codon matches the biggest letter and you move out from the middle to read the rest of the codon. Therefore, the 2nd base in the codon is the second biggest letter (the one in the middle ring) and the 3rd base In the codon is the smallest letter (the one in the outer ring). The arrows show the direction you should read it.

15 The Genetic Code Complete Part I of the “Decoding the Genetic Code!” Activity. (we will review the first 3 examples of question 1 after you have had a chance to complete them) Objectives for Class: Use the genetic code to translate a DNA or RNA sequence into an amino acid sequence to make a protein.

16 Reading The Genetic Code: Examples
Follow along with the examples in your packet! Example 1: CAG 1st base = C 2nd base = A 3rd base = G Therefore the amino acid is… Glutamine! Example 2: GUU Valine

17 Reading The Genetic Code: Longer Example
Example 3: GCCAGCUAG Step 1: Break it into 3-letter sections (codons) GCC AGC UAG Step 2: Decode each codon GCC = Alanine AGC = Serine UAG = STOP (end of protein sequence) 1 3 2

34 Protein Synthesis Computer Lab

35 Transcribe and Translate a Gene Computer Lab
Procedure: Log onto Scroll down to the middle of the homepage and click on the link entitled “Are you ready to transcribe a DNA sequence and translate it into a protein?” A DNA sequence should appear on the screen. Transcribe the DNA strand by entering the corresponding RNA bases for the original strand. The new mRNA strand will now appear on the screen. Locate the “start” codon and click on it with your mouse. The mRNA sequence will now move to the top of the field and a flashing box will appear around the “start” codon. Using the “Universal Genetic Code” to the right, find the amino acid that corresponds with the three-base mRNA codon. Click on the appropriate amino acid and drag it to the corresponding mRNA codon (signaled by the flashing box). Repeat until the mRNA sequence has been Translated. Answer the Review and Analysis questions for Part I as you complete the lab. Answer the Review and Analysis questions for Part II after the computer portion of the lab is completed. Transcription Translation Objectives for Class: Use the steps of transcription and translation to turn a section of DNA into a protein.
