Taylor CHAPTER 10 Molecular Biology of the Gene Modules 10.6 – 10.16 From PowerPoint® Lectures for Biology: Concepts & Connections Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings THE FLOW OF GENETIC INFORMATION FROM DNA TO RNA TO PROTEIN 10.6 The DNA genotype is expressed as proteins, which provide the molecular basis for phenotypic traits • The information constituting an organism’s genotype is carried in its sequence of bases Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • A specific gene specifies a polypeptide – The DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is translated into the polypeptide DNA TRANSCRIPTION RNA TRANSLATION Protein Figure 10.6A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Evolution of Crick’s Central Dogma from the 1950s to today 1950’s DNA RNA Protein Phosphorylation Splicing 1980’s DNA RNA Alternative Splicing Polypeptide Glycosylation Methylation Acetylation Histone modifications Today DNA RNA Other epigenetic factors MicroRNAs Splicing Alternative Splicing Other catalytic regulator RNAs Editing Polypeptide Conformational Isomers Phosphorylation Glycosylation Methylation Acetylation Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Other 10.7 Genetic information written in codons is translated into amino acid sequences • The “words” of the DNA “language” are triplets of bases called codons – The codons in a gene specify the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Gene 1 Gene 3 DNA molecule Gene 2 DNA strand TRANSCRIPTION RNA Codon TRANSLATION Polypeptide Figure 10.7 Amino acid Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 10.8 The genetic code is the Rosetta stone of life • Virtually all organisms share the same genetic code Figure 10.8A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • An exercise in translating the genetic code Transcribed strand Template strand or antisense - strand DNA Coding Strand or Sense + strand Transcription RNA Start codon Polypeptide Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Translation Stop codon Figure 10.8B 10.9 Transcription produces genetic messages in the form of RNA In eukaryotes, RNA poly 1 Synthesizes rRNA, II synthesizes mRNA, and III synthesizes tRNA. RNA poly. Has 5 Subunits: 2 alpha bind regulatory subunits, 1 beta binds the DNA template, 1 beta binds the nucleosides, and one sigma recognizes the promoter and initiates synthesis. RNA polymerase RNA nucleotide Direction of transcription Template strand of DNA Figure 10.9A Newly made RNA Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The enzymes of transcription RNA polymerase I is responsible for transcribing RNA that becomes structural components of the ribosome. Pol 1 synthesizes a pre-rRNA 45S, which matures into 28S, 18S and 5.8S rRNAs which will form the major RNA sections of the ribosome. RNA polymerase II transcribes protein-encoding genes, or messenger RNAs, which are the RNAs that get translated into proteins. Also, most snRNA (splicing) and microRNAs (RNAi). This is the most studied type, and due to the high level of control required over transcription a range of transcription factors are required for its binding to promoters. RNA polymerase III transcribes a different structural region of the ribosome (5s), transfer RNAs, which are also involved the translation process, as well as non-protein encoding RNAs. Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • In transcription, the DNA helix unzips RNA polymerase – RNA nucleotides line up along one strand of the DNA following the base-pairing rules at the promoter. A regulatory protein binds at -25 binds the TATAAAA box. DNA of gene Promoter DNA Initiation – This either allows the Polymerase to transcribe or not. Many other protein factors comprise the transcription complex. Elongation Terminator DNA Area shown in Figure 10.9A – 50 nucleotides/sec – 12 bases in the bubble – No proofreading enzymes like DNA – The single-stranded messenger RNA peels away and the DNA strands rejoin after GC hairpin forming region.
