From Gene to Protein Central Dogma

Bodies are made up of cells All cells run on a set of instructions spelled out in DNA Bodies Cells DNA

What makes it possible for different people… … to have different faces? i.ivillage.com www.learnwell.org symonsez.files.wordpress.com …to be different heights? neveryetmelted.com www.saidaonline.com …to have different colored eyes?
6
Makes this protein… or this protein… or this protein! Each DNA makes a specific protein. Those proteins give us our looks. cr4.globalspec.com gamespot.com
7
Remember… Bases match together A pairs with T A : T C pairs with G C : G weak bonds between bases join 2 strands can separate easily Now it is time to find out how DNA manages to create so many different kinds of organisms using only FIVE pieces of information!
8
What do we know? DNA DNA is the genetic information Proteins proteins run living organisms enzymes all chemical reactions in living organisms are controlled by enzymes (proteins) structure all living organisms are built out of proteins DNA is the instructions for making proteins
9
What else do we know? DNA DNA is in the nucleus want to keep it there = protected Proteins made by a “protein factory” in cytoplasm ribosomes Need to get gene (DNA) information from nucleus to cytoplasm need a messenger! need a copy of DNA mRNA

deoxyribose sugar nitrogen bases – G, C, A, T T = thymine – T : A – C : G double stranded ribose sugar nitrogen bases – G, C, A, U U = uracil – U : A – C : G single stranded D NA R NA

mRNADNA transcription nucleus cytoplasm protein translation trait A brief overview of what happens…
12
DNA (double helix) is too big to go through the pores in the nuclear envelope. The problem with DNA… RNA (single helix) is small. DNA gives its information to mRNA (messenger RNA) to carry out of the nucleus. TOO BIG! Just right.
13

What do we know NOW? DNA instructions remain in nucleus mRNA has the instructions for building proteins from DNA Proteins built as chains of amino acids What reads RNA? need a mRNA reader! rRNA in ribosomes a a a aaa a UCCCCCCAAUGUGAAAAAGGGGUU

mRNA has the instructions for building proteins from DNA Proteins built as chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds What reads mRNA? ribosome What brings the right amino acid to attach to the protein chain? need an amino acid transporter! tRNA a a a aaa a What do we ALSO know now?

22
Protein Synthesis Let’s build a flow chart! TRANSCRIPTION DNA gives mRNA blueprints for making a specific protein. mRNA carries the blueprints out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm and finds a ribosome. TRANSLATION rRNA reads the mRNA inside the ribosome.
23
tRNA brings the correct amino acid to the mRNA. An amino acid chain is built: PROTEIN. Protein give us our traits. BUILD DNA AND DISCOVER GENES! http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/dna/ 1. What is DNA? 2. What is a Gene? 3. Build a DNA Molecule.
24
How does tRNA know which amino acid to bring? When mRNA leaves nucleus it has a blueprint of DNA’s instructions. mRNA goes to ribosomes in cytoplasm Ribosomes read the blueprint on mRNA. aa mRNA UCCCCCCAAUGUGAAAAAGGGGUU ribosome

Using the template… TACGCACATTTACGTACGCGG DNA AUGCGUGUAAAUGCAUGCGCC mRNA Met Arg Val Asn Ala Cys Ala protein ? How can you code for 20 amino acids with only 4 nucleotide bases (A,U,G,C)?

27
The code is UNIVERSAL! Since all living organisms… – use the same DNA – use the same code book – read their genes the same way AUG
28
What amino acids are coded for by these codons? UGA ACU AAC GAG
29
For ALL life! – Uses only 4 bases for ALL life. (strongest support for a common origin for all life) Code is redundant – several codons for each amino acid – mutation insurance! The mRNA code Start codon AUG methionine Stop codons UGA, UAA, UAG

EXPLAIN DIVERSITY… Each organism has a unique sequence of DNA. The DNA sequence determines the order of amino acids in the organism’s proteins. The order of amino acids determines the shape that the protein made will take. The shape of the protein determines what it can do. What the protein does determines everything about the organism. Gene Regulation determines when a sequence of DNA will be put to use and when it won’t.
35
Gene Regulation…Keeping Control! Every species has its own number of chromosomes in each cell. Organism Number of Chromosomes Cat32 Chimpanzee48 Dog78 Cow60 Human46 Horse64 Pea plant14 Corn plant20 Mosquito6 Honeybee32 Sugarcane80 Sand dollar62 Notice: More is not always better... Sometimes it’s just more.
36
Remember…a section on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait is called a GENE. And… There are lots and lots of genes on each chromosome! The job of a gene is to control the production of proteins.
37
Not every gene is expressed (turned on) at the same time. Gene Regulation = what controls when a gene is expressed and when it is not. In bacteria, genes are in groups called Operons. Example: E. coli that’s in our digestive system helps us break down milk. Each Operon codes for a specific protein. Baby features (birth – 5 yrs) Child features (5 yrs – 12 yrs) Teen features (12 yrs – 17 yrs) Adult features (17 yrs – 60 yrs) Elderly features (60 yrs – death)
38
RNA polymerase Promoter Sequence = area “upstream” (toward the 5’ end) from the gene where the RNA polymerase attaches. Start Codon = set of three nucleotide bases where transcription begins. Stop Codon = set of three nucleotide bases where transcription ends. Terminator Sequence = area “downstream” from the gene where the polymerase detaches. Gene 5’ 3’
