From Gene to Protein Lecture Notes Biol 100 – K.Marr 1. Topics for the next few lectures – Transcription: From DNA to RNA – Translation: From RNA to Protein – Understanding Cystic Fibrosis – Chapter 10 in Essential Biology by Campbell et al 2. Lab 7. Modeling DNA Structure, DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis Read the introduction carefully – Part 1 (through page 9)—modeling DNA Structure and Replication – Part 2—modeling transcription and translation The Flow of Genetic Information: DNA to RNA to Protein Phenotype Cytoplasm • Transcription: DNA copied into mRNA molecule • Translation: ribosomes translate mRNA into protein— a chain of amino acids • Proteins control phenotype. How? Nucleus DNA Transcription mRNA Translation Protein The one gene–one protein hypothesis: The function of a gene is to dictate the production of a specific protein. Why are proteins so important? A few of the many roles played by proteins: 1. Enzymes: catalysts for nearly all chemical reactions in cells; Determine what cells can make and digest 2. Structural components: muscles (actin and myosin), connective tissue (collagen, elastin) 3. Receptors on cell surface for growth factors, hormones, etc. 4. Hormones: e.g. insulin, growth hormone, prolactin 5. Transport: e.g. hemoglobin, spindle fibers 6. Immune system: antibodies CF phenotype • Genes determine which proteins a cell can make • Proteins control phenotype • e.g. CFTR Gene codes for CFTR protein CFTR Protein: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein Carbohydrate Chloride ions Cytoplasm of cell lining duct or lungs CFTR Protein • Pumps chloride ions (salt) into cells lining ducts or the lungs • What are the consequences when CFTR doesn’t work? • How does a gene control the production of a protein? CFTR Protein Water Inside of duct or Air sac in lungs Cell membrane Water The order of Bases in a gene determines the order of amino acids in the protein it codes for Is the order of amino acids in a protein important? Transcription: copying DNA into RNA • View animation of transcription Questions to answer: 1. What do we start with and end with? 2. Where does transcription occur? When? 3. What is needed for transcription to occur? 4. What is the sequence of events?

What do we start with and end with? Where does translation occur? What is needed for translation to occur? What is the sequence of events? What are the roles of mRNA, ribosomes, start codon, tRNA, anticodons, stop codon? Transfer RNA: tRNA tRNA 1. Acts as a molecular interpreter 2. Carries amino acids 3. Matches amino acids with codons in mRNA using anticodons Amino acid attachment site Hydrogen bond RNA polynucleotide chain Anticodon Anticodon A portion of an mRNA molecule attached to a tRNA Codon on mRNA mRNA Each Codon codes Specifies a specific tRNA—amino acid complex Amino acid A ribosome translating mRNA into protein Small subunit Ribosomes • Organelle that makes protein • Reads mRNA 5’ 3’ • Made of rRNA and protein • Consist of 2 subunits mRNA Large subunit Protein under construction 1. Initiation of Translation Codon mRNA Anticodon tRNA Amino acid Ribosome 2. Elongation Peptide bond forms 2. Elongation continues: Translocation of Ribosome Ribosome moves tRNA ejected 3. Termination of Translation Termination factor binds Ribosome moves tRNA ejected Peptide bond forms 3.

Phenylalanine (Phe) is missing Explaining the symptoms of CF • Why does CF only affect certain parts of the body? • What do the characteristics of CF have in common? 1. Mucus build-up in the lungs • Lung infections (e.g. pneumonia) 2. Male sterility (blocked vas deferens) 3. Salty sweat 4. Trouble digesting food (blocked pancreatic duct) Explaining the symptoms of CF • In CF, the faulty CFTR protein never makes it to cell membrane 1. What builds up outside of cells? Why? 2. Why salty sweat? 3. Why does mucus collect in lungs? 4. Why respiratory infections? 5. Why problems with digestion? 6. Why male sterility? CFTR Protein: Pumps Chloride ions into cell Chloride ions outside of cell Chloride ions in cell Understanding Cystic Fibrosis at the Cellular Level How does CFTR protein get from where it’s produced to its home in the cell membrane? 1. Where is the CFTR protein produced? 2. CFTR is a glycoprotein—where does it go for modification? How does it get there? 3. How does the modified CFTR protein get to the plasma membrane? 4. The defective CFTR protein is recognized at the ER as defective Where is the defective CFTR protein sent? CF symptoms may be mild or severe CFTR Gene Several hundred different mutations are associated with CF What’s a Mutation? • Any change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA • Types of Mutations – Substitution, insertion or deletion – Occur during DNA replication • Mutations may Result from: – Errors in DNA replication – Mutagens • physical or chemical agents that may cause errors during DNA replication chemicals in cigarette smoke Radiation (e.g. U.V. light, X-rays) DF508 deletion: the most common cause of cystic fibrosis • Why does isoleucine (Ile) at amino acid position 507 remain unchanged? Mutations responsible for Sickle Cell Anemia • Only one amino acid in 146 is incorrect in sickle-cell hemoglobin! Normal hemoglobin DNA mRNA Normal hemoglobin Glu Mutant hemoglobin DNA mRNA Sickle-cell hemoglobin Val Types of Mutations: Base Substitutions, Insertions or deletions • Base substitutions – May result in changes in the amino acid sequence in a protein, or – May be silent (have no effect) mRNA Protein Met Lys Phe Gly Ala Phe Ser Ala (a) Base substitution Met Lys Types of Mutations: Base Insertions and deletions • Can have disastrous effects – Change the reading frame of the genetic message mRNA Protein Met Lys Phe Gly Ala (b) Nucleotide deletion Met Lys Leu Ala His • Although mutations are often harmful – They are the source of the rich diversity of genes in the living world – They contribute to the process of evolution by natural selection SUMMARY OF KEY CONCEPTS DNA and RNA: Polymers of Nucleotides Nitrogenous base Phosphate group Sugar DNA Nucleotide Polynucleotide Review: DNA RNA Protein RNA Polymerase 1 Transcription 1.
