ACACGCCTTAAGATC GGTTTGCAGTAGATG ATGTGCGGAATTCTAG CCAAACGTCATCAGCT A piece of DNA that contains a code is known as a __________. ACACGCCTTAAGATC GGTTTGCAGTAGATG ATGTGCGGAATTCTAG CCAAACGTCATCAGCT Genes contain the directions for making __________. Everyone’s codes are slightly different. This means that different people make ____________ proteins. Person 1 Person 2 Person 3 AAGTTCGCC AAGTTCCCA AAGGGCGCC Person 4 AAGTTCGAA Person 5 AAGTTTACC Proteins determine our looks, functions and behavior and even how we are put together while still inside our mothers! Look at your protein research and classify your protein into one of the categories on the board. Write the name of the protein and a brief function. If proteins make up our body, and DNA contains the code for proteins.. Person 1 Person 2 Person 3 AAGTTCGCC AAGTTCCCA AAGGGCGCC Person 4 Person 5 AAGTTCGAA AAGTTTACC then differences in the bases would cause differences in our bodies! Example Person 1 Person 2 CGGAAGTTAGCCTACATGC CGGAAGTTCCCATACATGC Gene Gene Different codes, different proteins, different eye colors What is Gene Expression? All cells within an organism have the same DNA, but not all genes are expressed. Ex. An epithelial cell will express only genes specific to skin, whereas a neuron cell will express genes necessary for nerve function. Therefore, some genes are active and making proteins (or expressed in some cells) and some genes are inactive and not making proteins What is Gene Expression? Genes can be “turned on” or “turned off” by chemical signals in the cell or chemical signals from other cells, this is known as: cell to cell interaction. How are proteins made? PROTEIN SYNTHESIS -the process cells use to make protein from genes found within the DNA Proteins are made in a part of the cell known as the _________________________. The _____________________ are found outside of the nucleus in the _______________________. Proteins are made of amino acids found in the cytoplasm. (strung together like beads on a necklace) DNA’s Helpers DNA never leaves the nucleus of the cell. It is protected there. So how does the code get to the ribosome?? DNA’s Helpers The DNA code can be copied to another chemical known as RNA. Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) – Copy of one gene from DNA – Carries the message from the DNA to the ribosome Types of RNA • Transfer RNA (tRNA) •Transports the amino acid to the ribosome Types of RNA • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) •Makes up the ribosome • This is where the mRNA will meet the tRNA to put together the amino acids Making Proteins Copy the picture above Step One = Transcription Step Two = Translation Transcription 1. DNA section with desired gene is unzipped by an enzyme (the blue strands) 2. A complementary mRNA strand is made (red strand) 3. DNA is rezipped by an enzyme and mRNA moves into the cytoplasm Vocabulary CODON – 3 letter sequence/”word” on mRNA ANTI-CODON – 3 letter sequence on tRNA, Translation Blue thing = ribosome Purple strand = mRNA Yellow circles = tRNA 1. Ribosome finds the first CODON of the gene on mRNA Translation 2. tRNA’s anti-codon is matched up to mRNA codon bringing the correlating amino acid Translation 3. Ribosome moves along mRNA and continues to match up tRNAs 4. Amino acids are bonded together to create a chain of amino acids (a protein) Scientists have learned which amino acid tRNA will bring based on the mRNA codons. By using the mRNA codons, you can determine the amino acid order of the protein using this chart. Decoder Chart #1 – How do determine what amino acid goes with the mRNA’s codon CODON = AUG Start in the center and work your way out A U G Amino acid is methionine Try finding the amino acid for the codon ‘CUA’ LEUCINE Explain the photo Here’s another look at the overall process of PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
