Ch 17

2 Central Dogma DNA RNA Protein

3 Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Transcription
Prokaryotic Transcription -takes place in cytoplasm -circular DNA w/no histones -no introns / no mRNA processing Eukaryotic Transcription -takes place in nucleus -DNA has histones and linear -introns and mRNA processing

4 Prokaryotic Transcription
STEPS Initiation – RNA polymerase binds to promoter Elongation – RNA polymerase reads template 3’-5’ and builds mRNA strand 5’-3’ Termination – mRNA is released … forms hairpin loop. Transcription begins when an RNA polymerase binds to a promoter site on the 5' to 3' DNA (blueprint) strand. A small polypeptide portion of the RNA polymerase molecule called the sigma factor recognizes the promotor site sequence. A short leader sequence of about 10 DNA nucleotides separates the promoter from the actual gene sequence.

5 Eukaryotic Transcription
Initiation – Transcription factors adhere to the TATA box in the promoter signaling RNA Polymerase II to attach. Additional transcription factors attach and the transcription initiation complex is formed. Enhancers/silencers Elongation – RNA Polymerase II unzips the DNA and pairs the template with complementary mRNA nucleotides. Termination – RNA Polymerase II reaches the polyadenylation (AAUAAA) sequence and releases the pre-mRNA. Regulatory sequences which increase the rate of transcription are called enhancers - those which decrease the rate of transcription are called silencers Enhancers can work if their position is moved to a new location (but still relatively near the gene - they won't work if they are millions of base pairs away or on a different chromosome) transcription *Gene expression is most often regulated at transcription

7 mRNA processing mRNA Processing (takes place in the nucleus)
Add 5’ cap (guanine with 3 phosphates) Add Poly A tail (repeated Adenines) Introns (non coding regions) cut out Exons (coding regions) fused together

8 snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins)
snRNPs- small nuclear RNA RNA and proteins Spliceosome - several snRNPs that carry out RNA splicing Spliceosome Animation

9 Ribozyme Ribozyme – RNA that functions as an enzyme
Harvard Ribozymes Ribozyme – RNA that functions as an enzyme -splicing without proteins! How: Single stranded and forms 3-D structure Bases in RNA contain functional groups that may catalyze rxns. Forms hydrogen bonds Not all biological catalysts are proteins Thomas-Cech Ribozymes Sidney Altman Thomas Cech Yale U of Colorado

Transcription & translation are simultaneous in bacteria DNA is in cytoplasm no mRNA editing ribosomes read mRNA as it is being transcribed

32 The code Code for ALL life! Code is redundant Start codon Stop codons
strongest support for a common origin for all life Code is redundant several codons for each amino acid 3rd base “wobble” Why is the wobble good? The wobble explains why the the synonymous codons for a given amino acid most often differ in their 3rd nucleotide base. Strong evidence for a single origin in evolutionary theory. Other amino acids are specified by more than one codon--usually differing at only the third position. The "Wobble Hypothesis,"discovered by Frances Crick, states that rules of base pairing are relaxed at the third position, so that a base can pair with more than one complementary base. Some tRNA anticodons have Inosine at the third position. Inosine can pair with U, C, or A. This means that we don't need 61 different tRNA molecules, only half as many. Start codon AUG methionine Stop codons UGA, UAA, UAG

36 tRNA – “Wobble” Inosine can pair with C, A, U allowing for less tRNA’s, More relaxed at the 3rd base position.

37 Loading tRNA Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase
enzyme which bonds amino acid to tRNA bond requires energy ATP  AMP energy stored in tRNA-amino acid bond unstable so it can release amino acid at ribosome easily The tRNA-amino acid bond is unstable. This makes it easy for the tRNA to later give up the amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain in a ribosome.
