CHAPTER 10 DNA REPLICATION & PROTEIN SYNTHESIS DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides – The monomer unit of DNA and RNA is the nucleotide, containing – Nitrogenous base – 5-carbon sugar – Phosphate group Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. DNA STRUCTURE • Nitrogenous Bases: A, T, G, C • Sugar: Deoxyribose Nitrogenous base (A, G, C, or T) Phosphate group Thymine (T) Sugar (deoxyribose) Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) Pyrimidines Guanine (G) Adenine (A) Purines RNA STRUCTURE • Nitrogenous Bases: A, U, G, C • Sugar: Ribose Nitrogenous base (A, G, C, or U) Phosphate group Uracil (U) Sugar (ribose) DNA is a double-stranded helix – James D. Watson and Francis Crick deduced the secondary structure of DNA, with X-ray crystallography data from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Twist Hydrogen bond Base pair Ribbon model Partial chemical structure Computer model DNA REPLICATION Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. 10.4 DNA replication depends on specific base pairing – DNA replication follows a semiconservative model – The two DNA strands separate – Each strand is used as a pattern to produce a complementary strand, using specific base pairing – Each new DNA helix has one old strand with one new strand – A binds T – C binds G Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Nucleotides Parental molecule of DNA Both parental strands serve as templates Two identical daughter molecules of DNA DNA replication proceeds in two directions at many sites simultaneously – ENZYMES involved in DNA replication: – DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to a growing chain – DNA ligase joins small fragments into a continuous chain – If enzymes are involved, what conditions are important to DNA Replication??? Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. THE FLOW OF GENETIC INFORMATION FROM DNA TO RNA TO PROTEIN: PROTEIN SYNTHESIS Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. DNA is expressed as proteins, which provide the molecular basis for genetic traits – A gene is a sequence of DNA that directs the synthesis of a specific protein – DNA is transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA) – mRNA is translated into protein – The presence and action of proteins determine the characteristics of an organism – Genes only need to code for proteins because enzymes (proteins) control the production of the other biological molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. DNA Transcription mRNA Nucleus Cytoplasm Translation Protein Genetic information written in codons is translated into amino acid sequences of proteins – The sequence of nucleotides in DNA provides a code for constructing a protein – Protein construction requires a conversion of a nucleotide sequence to an amino acid sequence – Transcription rewrites the DNA code into RNA, using the same nucleotide “language” – – – – A (DNA) codes for U (RNA) T (DNA) codes for A (RNA) C (DNA) codes for G (RNA) G (DNA) codes for C (RNA) – Each “word” is a codon, consisting of three nucleotides – Translation involves switching from the nucleotide “language” to amino acid “language” – Each amino acid is specified by a codon – 64 codons are possible – Some amino acids have more than one possible codon; WHY??? Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. DNA strand Transcription mRNA Codon Translation Polypeptide Amino acid The genetic code is the Rosetta stone of life – Characteristics of the genetic code – Triplet: Three nucleotides specify one amino acid – 61 codons correspond to amino acids – AUG codes for methionine and signals the start of transcription – 3 “stop” codons signal the end of translation Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Third base First base Second base Strand to be transcribed DNA Transcription RNA Start codon Polypeptide Met Translation Lys Phe Stop codon Transcription produces genetic messages in the form of mRNA mRNA can leave the nucleus of the cell and bring the genetic information for protein synthesis to the ribosomes Transcription requires enzymes: RNA Polymerase Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Transfer RNA molecules serve as interpreters during translation – Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules match an amino acid to its corresponding mRNA codon – tRNA structure allows it to convert one language to the other – An amino acid attachment site allows each tRNA to carry a specific amino acid – An anticodon allows the tRNA to bind to a specific mRNA codon, complementary in sequence – A pairs with U, G pairs with C Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Large ribosomal subunit Initiator tRNA P site 1 mRNA Start codon Small ribosomal subunit 2 A site Amino acid Polypeptide A site P site Anticodon mRNA Codons 1 Codon recognition Amino acid Polypeptide A site P site Anticodon mRNA Codons 1 Codon recognition 2 Peptide bond formation Amino acid Polypeptide A site P site Anticodon mRNA Codons 1 Codon recognition 2 Peptide bond formation New peptide bond 3 Translocation Mutations can change the meaning of genes – A mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA – Base substitutions: replacement of one nucleotide with another – Effect depends on whether there is an amino acid change that alters the function of the protein – Deletions or insertions – Alter the reading frame of the mRNA, so that nucleotides are grouped into different codons – Lead to significant changes in amino acid sequence downstream of mutation – Cause a nonfunctional polypeptide to be produced Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Mutations can change the meaning of genes – Mutations can be – Spontaneous: due to errors in DNA replication or recombination – Induced by mutagens – High-energy radiation – Chemicals Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
