Protein Synthesis
DNA-->RNA-->Protein-->Trait
One Gene one Protein
• Beadle and Tatum
– Worked with the Mold Neurospora.
• Looked at metabolic pathway to synthesize the amino
acid Arginine
• Studies of inherited metabolic disorders first
suggested that phenotype is expressed
through proteins
• Studies of the bread mold Neurospora crassa
led to the one gene-one polypeptide
hypothesis

Figure 10.6B
Mutate wild type fungus
*Supply all mutant isolates with
complete media
*Grow purified mutants
with minimal media
to find nutritional mutants
*Determine what is the nutritional limitation
 find mutation
There for the gene used to produce an enzyme
that helps cells manufacture Arginine amino acid
was mutated in that fungal strain
.

RNA vs DNA
• Differences between the two nucleotides
– Sugar
• Ribose instead of deoxyribose
– Nitrogenous bases
• Uracil instead of Thymine
Types of RNA
• rRNA
– Ribosomes are made or rRNA and Proteins
• tRNA
– Folded into the “t” shape and carry an amino acid
on the end
• M-RNA
– Single Stranded
• HnRNA
– SNRPs

Transcription vs Translation
• Transcription (DNA to RNA)
–
–
–
–
Copying mRNA from DNA
Promotor sequence
Some are modified before leaving nucleus (Eukaryotes)
Prokaryotes are not modified
• Translation (RNA to Amino Acid)
– Initiation
– Elongation
– Termination
Transcription
• Sense vs Antisense.
– Sense strant is the coding strand and would have the same
sequence as the mRNA with U’s replacing T’s.
– The Antisense strand is the strand that is transcribed.
↓Template strand
RNA polymerase
Reads DNA template 3’5’,
writes mRNA 5’ 3’

– Site that the RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to
begin the process of Transcription
• RNA Polymerase
– Enzyme that reads 3’5’ and writes a 5’3’ mRNA
• Nucleoside Triphosphates
– The nucleotides that are put in by the polymerases
• Terminator
– Sequence that will code for a releasing factor

• Degenerate Code
Translation
• T-RNA molecules are matched to the proper
amino acid by an enzyme.
• Initiation, elongation, and translocation, and
termination

Ribosome
Mutations and Protein Synthesis
• Can produce new alleles
– Must be in the gametes to be passed on
• Types of Mutations
– Point
• Can be harmless because of redundency (Degenerate) of code
– Chromosomal
