PROTEIN SYNTHESIS PROTEIN SYNTHESIS Section 12.3
2
How your cell makes (“synthesizes”) proteins General steps:General steps: DNA RNA Protein Occurs in 2 phasesOccurs in 2 phases: 1. Transcription (DNA RNA) – occurs in the nucleus 2. Translation (RNA Protein) – occurs on the ribosome in the cytoplasm
3
DNA RNA Protein

RNADNA RNA is DIFFERENT from DNA RNAsugar ribose 1.RNA has a sugar ribose DNAsugar deoxyribose DNA has a sugar deoxyribose RNAuracil (U) 2.RNA contains uracil (U) DNAthymine (T) DNA has thymine (T) RNAsingle-stranded 3.RNA molecule is single-stranded DNAdouble-stranded DNA is double-stranded
6
3 types of RNA A.messenger RNA (mRNA) B.transfer RNA (tRNA) C.ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
7
mRNA – the “Messenger” Carries instructions from DNA to the ribosome. Gives the ribosome the “recipe” for making a specific protein
8
rRNA Part of the structure of a ribosome Helps in protein production tRNA “go-getter” Gets the right parts (amino acids) to make the right protein according to mRNA instructions
10
Phase 1: Transcription mRNA is produced by copying part of DNA into a complementary sequence of RNA Occurs inside the nucleus because DNA CANNOT leave the nucleus
11
Question: RNADNAWhat would be the complementary RNA strand for the following DNA sequence? GCG TAT
12
ANSWER: GCG TATDNA: GCG TAT RNA: CGC AUA
13
CODONS Bases are read in groups of 3, called codons. Each codon stands for 1 amino acid.

DNA: TAC CTT GTG CAT GGG ATC mRNA AUG GAA CAC GUA CCC UAG A.A MET G.A HIS VAL PRO STOP

PHASE 2: Translation - making proteins -mRNA lays across the ribosome -bases are read one CODON (3 bases) at a time -tRNA molecules with complementary ANTICODONS deliver the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome -amino acids are linked together in a long chain to form a protein (“polypeptide”
17
PHASE 2: Translation - making proteins 3 Steps: 1.Initiation 2.Elongation 3.Termination
