1
Protein Synthesis Computer Filename: Protsyna.ppt
Material for Introductory Microbiology
2
Overview Genes are composed of DNA within the chromosome
Genes code for proteins DNA is transcripted into RNA RNA is translated into protein by ribosomes Genes regulated by control of RNA production
3
Lecture Outline Protein synthesis tRNA structure
adding amino acids to tRNA ribosome structure ribosome attachment protein synthesis :initiation, elongation, attachment
4
Concepts from OAC Structure & Function of DNA & RNA Genetic code
Transcription & translation Protein synthesis
5
Background Terms & Concepts
Structure of DNA & RNA Ribosomes Enzymes
6
CODONS sequences of three adjacent nucleotides that code for one amino acid or polypetide termination 64 codons encrypt of ~ 20 amino acids degenerate ACU, ACC,ACA, ACG threonine Start codon AUG (also codes for methionine) Stop codon UAA,UAG,UGA (nonsense codons)
7
Interpreting the Genetic Code
Two step process :Transcription -translation Transcription DNA --> RNA Translation RNA--> protein
8
Transcription Production of an RNA copy of the gene occurs in nucleus
DNA unravels- single strand RNA Polymerase binds to Promotor site Reads to stop codon assembles complementary single strand of RNA (primary RNA) Disengages when reaches stop codon
9
Ribosomal RNA called rRNA found in Ribosomes catalytic site
provides site for protein assembly ribosomal structure different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes
10
Prokaryotic ribosome 70S large ribosomal subunit 50S 1,600,000
34 proteins 5S RNA 120 nucleotides 23S RNA 2900 nucleotides Small ribosomal subunit 30S 900,000 21 proteins 16s RNA 1540 nucleotides
11
Eukaryotic ribosome 80 S 4,200,000 large subunit 60S 2,800,000
49 proteins 5s RNA 120 nucleotides 28s RNA 4700 nuclotides 5.8 s RNA 160 nuclotides Small subunit 40S 1,400,000 33 proteins 18s RNA 1900 nuclotides
12
Transfer RNA called tRNA Smaller than mRNA or rRNA found in cytoplasm
40 different kinds of tRNA transports amino acids to ribosome positions amino acids on elongating polypeptide
13
tRNA
14
tRNA
15
tRNA Activating Enzymes
Specific for each type of tRNA called tRNA synthetase binds to specific amino acid binds to specific nucleotides in tRNA covalently crosslinks amino acid to free 0H water is lost
16
Large Ribosomal Subunit
Two tRNA binding sites
17
Polysomes
18
Ribosomes on Rough ER
19
EM of Ribosomes
20
Protein Synthesis Formation of an initiation complex Chain elongation Chain termination
21
