RNA and Protein Synthesis Chapter 11 C10L10C12 What are Genes? Genes are coded DNA instructions that control the production of proteins within the cell C10L10C12 Central Dogma Transcription DNA RNA Occurs in the Nucleus C10L10C12 Proteins What is RNA? Similar to DNA EXCEPT it differs in 3 ways : 1. The Sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose C10L10C12 What is RNA? Similar to DNA EXCEPT it differs in 3 ways : 2. RNA is single stranded (not double stranded like DNA) C10L10C12 What is RNA? Similar to DNA EXCEPT it differs in 3 ways : 3. RNA contains the nitrogen base Uracil instead of Thymine (but it’s still a pyrimadine) Uracil Adenine Let’s make an RNA strand DNA A T G C A C mRNA U A C G U G C10L10C12 In RNA •There is no Thymine •Adanine bonds to Uracil A–U Why use RNA? RNA is a throw away copy of DNA that can leave the nucleus DNA can not leave the nucleus RNA can!! C10L10C12 Types of RNA There are 3 types of RNA: 1. Messenger RNA (mRNA) – Carry copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins – Serve as “messengers” from DNA to the rest of the cell 2. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) – Helps build ribosomes 3. Transfer RNA (tRNA) – Transfers the aminoC10L10C12 acid to the ribosome Protein Synthesis Consists of 2 main stages: 1.Transcription – Takes place in the nucleus. 2.Translation – Takes place in the ribosome. C10L10C12 Transcription This is the stage where the RNA is made from a strand of DNA using the enzyme RNA polymerase. This occurs in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell. C10L10C12 What happens during transcription? 1. The RNA polymerase will bind to the DNA at a specific site known as the promoter. ( the start signal region of DNA) 2. RNA polymerase will unwind the DNA helix and separate the 2 strands. 3. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA using one strand of DNA as a template and base pairs a new RNA strand until it reaches a STOP codon and falls off. 4. The DNA then rewinds itself back into a C10L10C12 C10L10C12 C10L10C12
