DNA mRNA tRNA (ribosomes) Protein

6 DNA Replication

7 Steps in DNA Replication
Occurs when chromosomes duplicate (make copies) An exact copy of the DNA is produced with the aid of the enzyme DNA polymerase Hydrogen bonds between bases break and enzymes “unzip” the molecule Each old strand of nucleotides serves as a template for each new strand New nucleotides move into complementary positions are joined by DNA polymerase DNA polymerase is an enzyme.

8 Two New, Identical DNA Strands Result from Replication
Replication is called semiconservative because each new double helix is composed of an old (parental) strand and a new (daughter) strand.

9 Another View of Replication
Use of the ladder configuration better illustrates how complementary nucleotides available in the cell pair with those of each old strand before they are joined together to form a daughter strand.

10 RNA

11 RNA Differs from DNA DNA has a sugar deoxyribose
1. RNA has a sugar ribose DNA has a sugar deoxyribose 2. RNA contains the base uracil (U) DNA has thymine (T) 3. RNA molecule is single-stranded DNA is double-stranded

12 Structure of RNA Like DNA, RNA is a polymer of nucleotides. In an RNA nucleotide, the sugar ribose is attached to a phosphate molecule and to a base, either G, U, A, or C. Notice that in RNA, the base uracil replaces thymine as one of the pyrimidine bases. RNA is single-stranded, whereas DNA is double-stranded.

13 . Three Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information to the ribosomes Ribosomal RNA (rRNA), along with protein, makes up the ribosomes Transfer RNA (tRNA) transfers amino acids to the ribosomes where proteins are synthesized

14 Making a Protein

15 Genes & Proteins Proteins are made of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds 20 different amino acids exist Amino acids chains are called polypeptides Segment of DNA that codes for the amino acid sequence in a protein are called genes

16 Two Parts of Protein Synthesis
Transcription makes an RNA molecule complementary to a portion of DNA Translation occurs when the sequence of bases of mRNA DIRECTS the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide

17 Genetic Code DNA contains a triplet code
Every three bases on DNA stands for ONE amino acid Each three-letter unit on mRNA is called a codon Most amino acids have more than one codon! There are 20 amino acids with a possible 64 different triplets The code is nearly universal among living organisms The fact that the genetic code is about universal in living things suggests that the code dates back to the first organisms on earth and that all living things are related.

18 Notice that in this chart, each of the codons (white rectangles) is composed of three letters representing the first base, second base, and third base. For example, find the rectangle where C for the first base and A for the second base intersect. You will see that U, C, A, or G can be the third base. CAU and CAC are codons for histidine; CAA and CAG are codons for glutamine.

19 Transcription Translation
Transcription occurs when DNA acts as a template for mRNA synthesis. Translation occurs when the sequence of the mRNA codons determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Translation

20 Overview of Transcription
During transcription in the nucleus, a segment of DNA unwinds and unzips, and the DNA serves as a template for mRNA formation RNA polymerase joins the RNA nucleotides so that the codons in mRNA are complementary to the triplet code in DNA

21 Steps in Transcription
The transfer of information in the nucleus from a DNA molecule to an RNA molecule Only 1 DNA strand serves as the template Starts at promoter DNA (TATA box) Ends at terminator DNA (stop) When complete, pre-RNA molecule is released

22 Transcription

23 During transcription, complementary RNA is made from a DNA template
During transcription, complementary RNA is made from a DNA template. A portion of DNA unwinds and unzips at the point of attachment of RNA polymerase. A strand of mRNA is produced when complementary bases join in the order dictated by the sequence of bases in DNA. Transcription occurs in the nucleus, and the mRNA passes out of the nucleus to enter the cytoplasm.

24 What is the enzyme responsible for the production of the mRNA molecule?

25 RNA Polymerase Enzyme found in the nucleus
Separates the two DNA strands by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the bases Then moves along one of the DNA strands and links RNA nucleotides together

26 DNA pre-mRNA RNA Polymerase

27 Question: What would be the complementary RNA strand for the following DNA sequence? DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’

28 Answer: DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’ RNA 3’-CGCAUAC-5’

29 Processing Pre-mRNA Also occurs in the nucleus
Pre-mRNA made up of segments called introns & exons Exons code for proteins, while introns do NOT! Introns spliced out by splicesome-enzyme and exons re-join End product is a mature RNA molecule that leaves the nucleus to the cytoplasm

30 RNA Processing pre-RNA molecule Mature RNA molecule intron exon exon
splicesome exon Mature RNA molecule

31 Messenger RNA (mRNA) Carries the information for a specific protein
Made up of 500 to 1000 nucleotides long Sequence of 3 bases called codon AUG – methionine or start codon UAA, UAG, or UGA – stop codons

33 Transfer RNA (tRNA) Made up of 75 to 80 nucleotides long
Picks up the appropriate amino acid floating in the cytoplasm Transports amino acids to the mRNA Have anticodons that are complementary to mRNA codons Recognizes the appropriate codons on the mRNA and bonds to them with H-bonds

39 Translation Let’s Make a Protein ! Three steps:
1. initiation: start codon (AUG) 2. elongation: amino acids linked 3. termination: stop codon (UAG, UAA, or UGA). Let’s Make a Protein !
