1. Grade hmw. 2. Review the Gel Electrophoresis Lab, complete conclusion, and hand in. (no make-up, go on class website and look up directions for alternative assignment) 3. Binder organization (to be left behind this weekend for grading) 4. Slate review on RNA types & transcription 5. New notes & hand-out on translation NO HOMEWORK. Congrats on finishing science fair project!!! No late boards will be accepted AT ALL after today. Go on the class website to get the alternative assginment (not worth as many points, but you still pass if done well) http://fwsciencejohnson.wikispaces.com
5
Grade homework: ___/15 #1 = 3 pts for completion #2 = 3 pts for completion #3= 3 pts for completion #4= all 6 drawings done= 6 pts (at least 3 done= 3 pts)
6
Look at the gel below Which colors are negative? Positive? Which are large? Small? + _
7
Make a record of what goes where!! 1. Draw a picture of your gel and indicate where each sample will go (remember there are 8 wells and 6 samples) Measure the distance each dye traveled using the ruler provided. X Sample
8
Observations Qualitative Quantitative At least 5 =20 total
9
Load and run YOUR gels!! 1. Use the yellow pipettor with a fresh tip to load each dye sample. 2. Raise your hand to have a biotech student add the buffer when you are done 3. Connect cables and run the gel at 125 volts for 15 minutes. Note the starting time. 4. While you wait, make observations and lab notes. (Note any dye spills or over flow. Did your pipettor tip puncture the gel? Can you see any thing happen in the box?) 5. While you wait, start writing the answers to the questions in complete sentences.
10
Conclusions—Write these on the back of your DNA lab! 1. Which dye is the smallest? Largest? Which dyes are positive? Negative? 2. What dyes make up the unknown (X sample)? 3. Compare the relative size of one of the positively charged dyes, to one of the negatively charged dyes. Identify dyes in this comparison by number and color. Use the side (+ or -) the dye move towards, and measure the distance from the center for this analysis. 4. How about your hypothesis?...Was it correct? Why? Hand into box when finished and get out notebook and binder, make sure all notes/hmw. Is finished
11
Binder Check On top: Translation hand-out (from today) Transcription homework (15)* Transcription simulation (10) Transcription In-class practice (10) History of DNA-scientists (10) DNA Worksheet (10) Get slates out *MUST LEAVE BINDER BEHIND FOR GRADING THIS WEEKEND Notebook check next week (all even pages filled in, 3 ?s, summary at the bottom)
12
Protein Synthesis To get from a DNA gene to a protein, the cell has to perform protein synthesis. It requires 3 types of RNA: mRNA rRNA tRNA It happens in 2 parts: Transcription Translation
13
Open binder to Transcription homework. Make SURE YOUR NAME IS ON the homework. Put binder on lab bench in order of last names:
14
RNAi (chefs, tower, recipes)
15
Translation Translation is the process of making an amino acid chain from the instructions coded in the mRNA. Occurs in cytoplasm.
16
Translation Video Clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41_Ne5m S2ls (start @ 1:56) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41_Ne5m S2ls
17
Translation- step 1 Initiation 1. mRNA binds to the ribosome & the ribosome begins reading at the START codon AUG Mature mRNA
18
Practice GCG AUG CUG GGU CGU UAA Which codon above is the START codon? On your worksheet, find the START codon in each of the 8 mature mRNA strands GCG AUG CUG GGU CGU UAAAUG GGU AGC AUC GAU UCU GAU UAA AUG CGA UUC GAC UGG GAC CCA UAU UAGAUG CGC CGU UUG UGA GAU CUG AUG CCU AAC UGC AUC UAG GCAAUG CAU AGA UCA GUC CCG UGA AUG GAC CGA GUU AGC UGA GAU CUGGGC AUG CGA UAC CUC UAA CGA
19
Translation- step 2 tRNA matching 2. The ribosome move along mRNA & reads each codon, matching it up with a tRNA that has the complementary anti-codon Mature mRNA
20
Practice What is the anticodon on tRNA that will match with the START codon on mRNA? AUG CCG GCA UGC GGA CUG On your worksheet, fill out the tRNA anticodons for each codon in the mature mRNA strand
21
Translation- step 3 Elongation 3. Each tRNA that enters the ribosome adds an amino acid to the growing chain. A peptide (protein) bond is formed between each amino acid in the chain.
22
FYI There are 20 amino acids Each tRNA can only carry ONE type of amino acid tRNA w/ anticodon “UAC” can ONLY carry methionine (M)
23
Translation- step 4 Termination 3. When a STOP codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) on mRNA enters the ribosome, the large & small rRNA subunits fall apart and translation ends
24
Practice How many amino acids are coded for in the mature mRNA strand below? (hint: think about start & stop codons) GAU CUG AUG CCU AAC UGC AUC UAG GCA On your worksheet circle the START codon, Box the STOP codon, and record how many amino acids will be in the chain after translating each of the 8 mRNA strands. Start: 12345 STOP (no amino acid) AUG CGA AUG GAC UGG GAC CCA UAU UAG What if there are 2 “start” codons?? Start at the FIRST one and keep going until you hit a STOP!

38
Bellwork 2-6-13 1) Summarize the four steps of translation. 2) What carries the anti-codon?
39
Translation Simulation You and your partner will receive an envelope full of mature mRNA transcripts Take the mRNA out of the nucleus & into the cytoplasm (lab table) for translation Pull the mRNA through the ribosome, & match up the correct tRNA Record the amino acids that would be added to the growing chain Figure out the secret phrase! **If you finish early, work on your translation HW probs
40
Simulation Run-down Each tRNA can only carry ONE amino acid (UAC always carries Methionine)….but were there some amino acids that were carried by multiple tRNAs? Why might this overlap be beneficial?
41
Short-cut mRNA Codon Wheel Determine an amino acid sequence from the mature mRNA…without having to match up tRNA anticodons! AUG = Methionine (M)
42
