MCDB 1041 3/9/12 Activity 6: Central Dogma Continued PART I: Types of mutations: • Point mutations: changes in a single base of DNA. Silent mutations: change in sequence of DNA results in no change in the amino acid sequence. Missense mutations: change in DNA sequence results in a different amino acid placed into the protein. Nonsense mutations: change in DNA creates a premature stop codon. • Deletions or Insertions: removal or addition of 1 or more bases. The possible consequences depend on the number of bases removed, and the position of their removal. Frame-shift mutations: change in DNA shifts the reading frame, resulting in a completely different amino acid sequence in the protein after the mutation. This can be the result of a deletion or an insertion of 1 or 2 bases, or any multiple of 2 bases. Insertions or deletions of 3 or multiples of 3 do not result in a frame shift. Why? • Expanding repeat mutations: an error in copying the DNA results in an already repeated sequence becoming longer (more repeats). This is like the STRs. Expanding repeats that happen within genes do have an effect on phenotype (unlike STRs). A sequence of amino acids coded for by an mRNA= a protein. Proteins have specific structures dictated by bonds that form between the amino acids, giving the protein a specific shape, and allowing it to perform specific functions. Thus, mutations in the DNA affect the structure of the protein (longer, shorter, can’t fold properly, different sequence of amino acids, etc). Reviewing Translation: the effects of different mutations on a protein Ever noticed this label on cans of diet soda? What does it mean? What is phenylalanine? Why can’t you eat aspartame when you have Phenylketonuria? Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the DNA that codes for an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase. This enzyme breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine, which is important because phenylalanine is toxic when it accumulates in nerve cells, and can cause brain damage in children. Most proteins contain some of the amino acid phenylalanine, so people with PKU cannot each much protein, and in particular, should never take in phenylalanine itself. The artificial sweetener Aspartame is composed of two amino acids: phenylalanine and aspartic acid. PKU can be caused by a number of different mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. Different mutations affect the activity of the enzyme to different extents, leading to more or less severe forms of PKU. Below there are some actual alleles of the gene for phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme. These are all different regions of the gene, starting with the beginning of the gene in part A and continuing along the extent of the gene. Thus, you will notice that only the sequence in part A begins with ATG, the required start codon. The promoter would be just to the left of this ATG sequence (ie, the top strand is the coding strand). Your tasks: * Find and mark where the nucleotide change has occurred between the normal and mutant DNA sequence. * Use the codon table to determine how the mutation in the DNA will affect the amino acid sequence. In some cases, you may need to look at more than just the single change…because it may affect other codons! A.

Of these four mutations, which one do you think will cause the most severe symptoms of PKU (ie, in which case will the protein be most dysfunctional?) PART II. Putting it all together 1. As a group use a series of analogies to capture the essence of the central dogma. You should include analogies for DNA replication, RNA transcription, and Translation, as well as including RNA polymerase, the ribosome, and the tRNA. 2. Now, create a concept map of the different terms you have used to describe gene expression. A concept map works like this: using the terms below, arrange them into a map, where a phrase connects each term with a line. For example, the term “DNA” could be connected with a line and the words “is composed of” to another term “nucleotides”. Do the concept map together as a group, on the white boards, and then copy it down for yourself here. Terms: DNA Replication DNA polymerase Template strand Coding strand mRNA RNA polymerase Promoter region Unique transcription factors Ribosome tRNA amino acids alternative splicing cytoplasm nucleus
