Ch. 17 From Gene to Protein Now we begin to understand the story beyond DNA . . . Thanks to the many “shoulders”.

Let’s start at the end of this chapter
Page 347 Gene = a region of DNA that can be expressed to produce a final functional product, either a Polypeptide (or set of related polypeptides via alternative splicing) RNA molecule Gene Expression is by Transcription into RNA Translation into a polypeptide that forms a specific protein Proteomics = proteins interact to bring about a phenotype Cell Differentiation = a given type of cell expresses only a subset of its genes. Gene expression is precisely regulated –Ch.18

Search for Definition of Gene
1940’s Beadle & Tatum mutated mold genes with x-rays & notice they then were unable to produce a specific nutrient in order to grow. When they identified the missing nutrient they knew the mutated gene could not produce the enzyme (protein) needed for that reaction Conclusion: support for the one gene – one enzyme hypothesis

Transcription: Definition & Stages
= DNA copies its genetic code onto RNA 1. Initiation RNA polymerase binds to promoter,DNA unwinds 2. Elongation RNA nucleotides constructed on template DNA Multiple copies of a section can be made Different kinds of RNA result 3. Termination RNA is released Animation

Cracking the Code How can DNA with only 4 different bases carry a code for 20 different amino acids that will be put together to form specific proteins? 4= = =64 triplet codons 1960’s Tie Club discloses the amino acid translations of each of the 64 RNA codons

Theme: Unity & Diversity
Unity - Triplet codon translation into specific amino acid is nearly universal i.e. RNA codon CCG is translated into amino acid proline in all organisms whose genetic code has been examined Therefore, genes can be transplanted from one species to another leading to Gene Therapy Diversity - Order of amino acids affects final end product, the protein, which interacts with other proteins to cause the unique phenotype of the organism

Pre-mRNA processing Occurs in Eukaryotic cells
Both ends are altered with a cap on one end and a poly-A-tail on the other end to Protect the mRN and facilitate its export from nucleus and its binding to ribosomes Splicing out of noncoding segments called introns leaving coding segments, exons, that exit the nucleus on mRNA In humans, about 98.5% of DNA is noncoding!

Translation: Definition & Stages
= triple codons on mRNA are interpreted to bring a specific amino acid to ribosome(rRNA) where the polypeptide is synthesized The interpreters are tRNA molecules with a anticodon on one end and the corresponding amino acid on the other 1. Initiation=a start codon begins the process 2. Elongation=amino acids are covalently bonded by the ribosome via peptide bonds to form a polypeptide 3. Termination=1 of 3 stop codons releases the polypeptide

Protein Processing 1. Free ribosomes deliver polypeptides that are destine for the cytosol 2. Bound ribosomes move polypeptides from ER to Golgi Apparatus for modification and may secreted out of cell via vesicles i.e. Insulin is a protein that is secreted

Point Mutations in Proteins
Substitutions i.e. CCG on template mutated to GCG Could be “Silent”, good thing last base does not always determine the amino acid i.e. CCG mutates to CCA Insertions or Deletions Frame shift mutation occurs The dog ate the cat T hed oga tet hec at
