DNA contains
the information
to make RNA
and/or proteins.
Protein
General model of
Ca++ signaling
Ca++ is involved in signal
transduction for responses of:

Development
• Neurons
Cold
• Muscle movement
Guard cell closing
• Wounding
Osmotic shock
• Development
Light
• Fertilization
Fungal infection
• Hormones
Touch
• …
Pollen tube growth
Wounding…
How can there be specificity?
Everything has its
place…
2 hypotheses about
how Ca++ signals are
transduced:
Signatures vs.
Switches

Plant Biology 2003, 6:500–506
Stomata regulate gas
exchange: CO2 in, O2 and
water out

Ca++ fluxes in
guard cells in
response to
hormone or stress
that cause
stomatal closing.
Wildtype vs. det3
and gca2: mutants
that fail to close
stomata following
treatment

components
or
production of

Each nucleotide is
connected from the 5’
carbon through the
phosphate to the next 3’
carbon.

What is so magic about adding nucleotides to
the 3’ end?
How does the RNA polymerase know which
strand to transcribe?

Transcription initiation in prokaryotes:
sigma factor binds to the -35 and -10 regions and then
the RNA polymerase subunits bind and begin
transcription

RNA synthesis
Protein
Some genes
code for RNA
(tRNA, rRNA,
etc) mRNA is
used to code
for proteins
rRNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase I
tRNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase III
mRNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase II
mRNA is processed during transcription
and before it leaves the nucleus.

Addition of the 3’ poly-A tail

After the RNA sequence
AAUAAA enzymes cut
the mRNA and add 150 to
200 A’s
DNA Composition:
In humans:
•Each cell contains ~6 billion base pairs of
DNA.
•This DNA is ~2 meters long and 2 nm wide.
•~3% directly codes for amino acids
•~10% is genes
•In a single human cell only about 5-10% of
genes are expressed at a time.
mRNA is processed during transcription
and before it leaves the nucleus.

Splicing of introns
Fig 8.13
• Conserved sequences related to intron splicing
Splicing an
intron: intron
removal.
Fig 8.16
Splicing an
intron: reattach
exons.
Fig 8.16
Some introns
are selfsplicing.

Alternate splicing of introns/exons can lead to
different proteins produced from the same gene.
