Cecie Starr Christine Evers Lisa Starr www.cengage.com/biology/starr Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.4 - 9.7) Albia Dugger • Miami Dade College 9.4 RNA and the Genetic Code • Three types of RNA interact to translate DNA’s information into a protein: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) Genetic Code • The protein-building information in mRNA consists of a sequence of three mRNA bases (codon); each is a code for a particular amino acid • The four bases A, C, G, and U can be combined into 64 different codons, which constitute the genetic code • Example: AUG codes for the amino acid methionine (met), and UGG codes for tryptophan (trp) Key Terms • codon • In mRNA, a nucleotide base triplet that codes for an amino acid or stop signal during translation • genetic code • Complete set of sixty-four mRNA codons Codons and Amino Acids • There are only twenty kinds of amino acids found in proteins, so some amino acids are specified by more than one codon • Some codons signal the beginning and end of a proteincoding sequence: • AUG (methionine) start translation • UAA, UAG, and UGA are stop codons • The order of mRNA codons determines the order of amino acids in the polypeptide that will be translated from it The Genetic Code Animation: Genetic Code DNA, mRNA, and Proteins DNA, mRNA, and Proteins a gene region in DNA transcription codon codon codon mRNA translation methionine (met) tyrosine (tyr) serine (ser) amino acid sequence Fig. 9.8, p. 143 rRNA and tRNA: The Translators • Ribosomes (containing rRNA and structural proteins) and tRNAs interact to translate an mRNA into a polypeptide • One large and one small ribosomal subunit join with mRNA, and rRNA enzymatically catalyzes the formation of a peptide bond between amino acids • Transfer RNAs deliver amino acids to ribosomes in the order specified by mRNA Ribosome Structure • A polypeptide chain threads through the tunnel in the large subunit as it is being assembled by the ribosome Ribosome Structure tunnel large subunit small subunit intact ribosome Fig. 9.9, p. 143 ANIMATION: Structure of a ribosome To play movie you must be in Slide Show Mode PC Users: Please wait for content to load, then click to play Mac Users: CLICK HERE tRNA Structure • Each tRNA has two attachment sites: • A triplet of nucleotides (anticodon) base-pairs with an mRNA codon • Another attachment site binds to the amino acid specified by the codon • Transfer RNAs with different anticodons carry specific amino acids to a ribosome during translation of an mRNA tRNA Structure tRNA Structure anticodon amino acid attachment site A B Fig. 9.10, p. 143 ANIMATION: Structure of a tRNA To play movie you must be in Slide Show Mode PC Users: Please wait for content to load, then click to play Mac Users: CLICK HERE Key Concepts • RNA • Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries DNA’s protein-building instructions • Its nucleotide sequence is read three bases at a time • Sixty-four mRNA base triplets—codons—represent the genetic code • Two other types of RNA interact with mRNA during translation of that code 9.5 Translating the Code: RNA to Protein • Translation converts the information carried by an mRNA into a polypeptide • Translation occurs in the cytoplasm • Translation proceeds in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination 6 Steps in Translation (1) Translation initiates when ribosome subunits and an initiator tRNA (attached to a start codon) converge on an mRNA • A second tRNA binds to the second codon, and so on… 6 Steps in Translation (2) The ribosome catalyzes formation of a peptide bond between the first two amino acids 6 Steps in Translation (3) The first tRNA is released and the ribosome moves to the next codon. • A third tRNA binds to the third codon 6 Steps in Translation (4) A peptide bond forms between the second and third amino acids 6 Steps in Translation (5) The second tRNA is released and the ribosome moves to the next codon • A fourth tRNA binds the fourth codon 6 Steps in Translation (6) A peptide bond forms between the third and fourth amino acids • Process repeats until the ribosome encounters a stop codon 6 Steps in Translation start codon (AUG) Ribosome subunits and an initiator tRNA converge on an mRNA. A second tRNA binds to the second codon. 1 initiator tRNA first amino acid of polypeptide Fig. 9.11.1, p. 144 6 Steps in Translation A peptide bond forms between the first two amino acids. 2 peptide bond Fig. 9.11.2, p. 144 6 Steps in Translation The first tRNA is released and the ribosome moves to the next codon.

A third tRNA binds to the third codon. 5 The second tRNA is released and the ribosome moves to the next codon. A fourth tRNA binds the fourth codon. peptide bond 2 A peptide bond forms between the first two amino acids. 4 A peptide bond forms between the second and third amino acids. 6 A peptide bond forms between the third and fourth amino acids.

C A base-pair deletion causes the reading frame for the rest of the mRNA to shift, so a completely different protein product forms. The mutation shown results in a defective beta globin. The outcome is beta thalassemia, a genetic disorder in which a person has an abnormally low amount of hemoglobin. D A base-pair substitution replaces a thymine with an adenine. When the altered mRNA is translated, valine replaces glutamic acid as the sixth amino acid of the polypeptide. Hemoglobin with this form of beta globin is called HbS , or sickle hemoglobin.
