Chapter 3, part C Central Dogma of Molecular Biology From Genes to Protein

2 Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
mRNA Eukaryotic Cell ribosome Transcription: synthesis of mRNA from DNA by RNA polymerase protein - Two steps: 1. creating a 1o mRNA transcript 2. RNA processing (editing) to create 2o mRNA transcript Translation: ribosomes link together amino acids to create a polypeptide from the 2o mRNA code Polypeptide then coils into a specific 3-D shape to form a functional protein transcription mRNA 1o transcript RNA Processing mRNA 2o transcript ribosome translation polypeptide

Coding strand RNA polymerase Unwinding of DNA Rewinding of DNA Template strand RNA nucleotides mRNA RNA-DNA hybrid region (b)

5 3 RNA Players Involved in Translation
Central Dogma tRNA = type of RNA that carries the amino acids to the ribosome rRNA = RNA that, combined with protein, makes up the structural component of a ribosome mRNA = DNA transcript

6 Redundancy in AA Notice…several codons code for the same AA
Redundancy helps to minimize errors in protein synthesis due to mutations

7 transcription and processing

Nucleus RNA polymerase mRNA 1 mRNA transcription and processing mRNA moves out of nucleus Template strand of DNA Amino acids Released mRNA ribosome tRNA Codon A U 2 Amino acid is attached to each species of tRNA by an enzyme U U U C G C C A U A C G G E P A G A U tRNA anticodon A A U Ile Ala 4 Phe Ile A growing polypeptide chain of amino acids is created Polypeptide eventually folds into a specific protein Ser 3 ribosome translates mRNA by moving along the mRNA and matching codons with anticodons of tRNA tRNA carry amino acids to be peptide bonded together Gly Met
