Gene Expression How is the information in DNA used to determine an organism’s characteristics? An organisms trait’s are determined by proteins that are built according to the plans specified in its DNA. What are Genes? Hold information specifying how to build particular proteins. Referring back to the gym socks what part of the sock did the gene represent? Genes are the DNA-encoded information that specifies particular proteins; each gene is made of a specific sequence of ____________??? nucleotides Transcribe and Translate a Gene The DNA that makes up the human genome can be subdivided into information bytes called genes. Each gene encodes a unique protein that performs a specialized function in the cell. The human genome contains more than 25,000 genes. Cells use the two-step process of transcription and translation to read each gene and produce the string of amino acids that makes up a protein. The basic rules for translating a gene into a protein are laid out in the Universal Genetic Code. How do you build It a protein? goes through two steps. The first step is to undergo TRANSCRIPTION and make RNA!!! Transcription In st 1 step the nucleolus the cells machinery copies the gene sequence into messenger RNA (mRNA), a molecule that is similar to DNA. Like DNA, mRNA has four-nucleotide bases-but in mRNA, the base uracil (U) replaces thymine (T). Creating new strands DNA: Complimentary: RNA GGTATCGATTGG CCATAGCTAACC GGUAUCGAUUGG DNA vs. RNA DNA Double strand 5-C sugar deoxyribose Nitrogen bases: ATCG RNA Single strand 5-C sugar ribose Nitrogen bases: AUCG Uracil is complementary to adenine RNA polymerase Binds to a promoter Unwinds and breaks sequence Builds up sequence by pairing up each nucleotide with its complementary base What is the Role of DNA in this Process? Step 1: RNA polymerase binds to gene’s promoter Step 2: The two DNA strands unwind and separate Step 3: Complementary RNA nucleotides are added Step 4 Step 5 Transcription Transcription copies the DNA code of a gene and converts it to messenger RNA (m RNA). The m RNA will be used at the ribosome to make polypeptides (proteins). However all of the code contained in the m RNA molecule is not needed to produce the polypeptide. The sections of m RNA which do not code for translation of polypeptide are called introns. As the m RNA readies itself to leave the nucleus, enzymes cut out and remove the introns. The remaining exons are spliced back together again by a different enzyme. This modified m RNA is what comes to the ribosome to be translated into polypeptides. RNA 3 TYPES: messenger RNA (mRNA) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transfer RNA (tRNA) mRNA Holds the information from DNA and passes it on to create a protein It’s an RNA copy of a gene used as a blueprint for a protein. When a cell needs a particular protein, a specific mRNA is made. rRNA Associates with protein to form the ribosome tRNA Acts as an interpreter molecule, translating mRNA sequences into amino acid sequences Genetic Code After transcription the genetic material message is ready to be translated from the language of RNA to the language of proteins. The instructions for building a protein are written as a series of 3 nucleotide sequences called codons. Translation: nd 2 Step The protein-making machinery, called the ribosome, reads the mRNA sequence and translates it into the amino acid sequence of the protein. The ribosome starts at the sequence AUG, then reads 3 nucleotides at a time. Each 3-nucleotide codon specifies a particular amino acid. The “stop” codons (UAA, UAG, and UGA) tell the ribosome that the protein is complete. Translation Transcribe and Translate a Gene.htm Overview DNA duplicates itself in replication. DNA produces RNA in transcription. RNA produces proteins in translation. A, RNA, and Proteins Protein builder Transcribe a DNA sequence into a protein Protein Extra Slides Transcription Transcription is the process of creating RNA from DNA. Transcription occurs in the cell's nucleus. RNA polymerase is the protein molecule that reads the DNA and creates the RNA intermediary. Transcription requires: DNA, RNA polymerase, ribonucleotides, and some ATP for energy. Uracil (U) is substituted for thymine (T) in RNA. Transcription initiation is the main point of regulation of gene expression.
