Chapter 16 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance PowerPoint Lectures for Biology, Seventh Edition Neil Campbell and Jane Reece Lectures by Chris Romero Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Edited by L. Bridge 2011 DNA, the substance of inheritance – Is the most celebrated molecule of our time • Chromosomes are composed of atoms arranged into molecules = field of “Molecular Genetics" • Hereditary information is encoded in the chemical language of DNA and reproduced in all the cells of your body • It is the DNA “program” that directs the development of many different types of traits Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Concept 16.1: DNA is the genetic material • Early in the 20th century – The identification of the molecules of inheritance loomed as a major challenge to biologists • What was "The Language of Life”? early studies asked • Proteins? (made up of 20 different AA’s) or DNA (made of only 4 bases)? No one was sure back then... Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nature of DNA: history • 1869- DNA First isolated by Swiss biologist, Friedrich Miescher, called it “nuclein” – His procedure: – http://www.dnalc.org/view/16003-Miescher-and-the-isolation-of-DNA.html • 1914- Robert Feulgen found DNA staining with fuchsin (red dye) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nature of DNA • 1920- P.A. Levene biochemically broke down DNA into: – 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose) – Phosphate – 4 Nitrogen bases adenine/guanine= purines; thymine/cytosine= pyrimidines • Each unit = "Nucleotide“ • At the time, Levene (mistakenly) assumed a 1:1:1:1 ratio between the bases Figure 16.5 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Sugar-phosphate backbone 5 end O– 5 O P O CH2 O 1 O– 4 H H H H 2 3 H O O P O CH2 O O– H H H H H O O P O CH2 O O– H H H H H O 5 O P O CH2 O 1 O– 4 H H Phosphate H H 3 2 H OH Sugar (deoxyribose) 3 end Nitrogenous bases CH3 O H N N H O Thymine (T) H N H N N N N H H Adenine (A) H H H N H N N O Cytosine (C) H N N N O N H N H H Guanine (G) DNA nucleotide Erwin Chargaff (1905-2002) • Analyzed the base composition of DNA from a number of different organisms: In 1947, Chargaff reported: • DNA “Base Pairing Rules” • DNA composition varies from one species to the next http://www.dnai.org/text/mediashowcase/in dex2.html?id=569 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Search for the Genetic Material: Scientific Inquiry • The role of DNA in heredity – Was first worked out by studying bacteria and the viruses that infect them Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Evidence That DNA Can Transform Bacteria • 1928, Frederick Griffith was studying Streptococcus pneumoniae – A bacterium that causes pneumonia in mammals • He worked with two strains of the bacterium – A pathogenic strain (S) and a nonpathogenic (R) strain Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococci) growing as colonies on the surface of a culture medium. Left: The presence of a capsule around the bacterial cells gives the colonies a glistening, smooth (S) appearance. Right: Pneumococci lacking capsules have produced these rough (R) colonies. (Research photographs of Dr. Harriet Ephrussi-Taylor, courtesy of The Rockefeller University.) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings “Sugar-coated microbes” • Griffith found that when he mixed heat-killed remains of the pathogenic strain – With living cells of the nonpathogenic strain, some of these living cells became pathogenic EXPERIMENT Bacteria of the “S” (smooth) strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae are pathogenic because they have a capsule that protects them from an animal’s defense system. Bacteria of the “R” (rough) strain lack a capsule and are nonpathogenic. Frederick Griffith injected mice with the two strains as shown below: Living S (control) cells Living R Heat-killed (control) cells (control) S cells Mixture of heat-killed S cells and living R cells RESULTS Mouse dies Mouse healthy Mouse healthy Mouse dies Living S cells are found in blood sample. Figure 16.2 CONCLUSION Griffith concluded that the living R bacteria had been transformed into pathogenic S bacteria by an unknown, heritable substance from the dead S cells. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The “Transformation Factor” From Griffith’s work, O.T. Avery: • 1943, Avery teamed up with MacCleod and McCarty (Rockefeller Institute), and showed that DNA was the genetic material found in extracts from killed virulent bacteria that could make the living , harmless bacteria into the virulent type, and called the phenomenon “transformation” • defined as a “change in genotype and phenotype due to the assimilation of external DNA by a cell” Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Further Evidence for DNA Alfred Mirsky – • Isolated DNA in the late 1940’s • Found that all somatic cells (of a species) contain same amount of DNA (gametes contain 1/2) • This evidence of molecular diversity among species – Made DNA a more credible candidate for the genetic material Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Evidence That Viral DNA Can Program Cells • Additional evidence for DNA as the genetic material came from studies of a virus that infects bacteria • Viruses that infect bacteria, bacteriophages are widely used as tools by researchers in molecular genetics Phage head DNA Bacterial cell Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 100 nm Tail Tail fiber The Bacteriophage Experiments Max Delbrück and Salvador Luria • Developed a simple model system using phage for studying how genetic information is transferred to host bacterial cells. • Studied a type of bacterial virus called the T phage that consists of a protein coat containing DNA. • 7 different phages attack E.coli bacteria, named T1 T7 • Life cycle of the T2 phage narrated animation Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase • Performed the famous "blender experiment“ showing that DNA, rather than protein, is the genetic material of a phage known as T2 • Advantages: small, cheap, easy to maintain in lab, replicated in 25 minutes Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Hershey and Chase • Viruses made of: (1) protein coat “capsid” ; and (2) DNA • The question was, which part carried the info? • Labeled phage DNA with 32P, and the capsid protein with 35S. • Next allowed the labeled phage to begin to infect a bacterial colony. • In the infection process, the phage land on the bacterial wall and then inject their genetic material into the host cell. • Hershey allowed this to occur, but then at the crucial moment he whirred them in a Waring Blender, which he had discovered produced just the right shearing force to tear the phage particles from the bacterial walls while not rupturing the bacteria. • Upon examining the bacteria, Hershey found that only phage DNA, no detectable protein, had been inserted into them. • By process of elimination, they found it was indeed DNA that was inserted into the host cell, and thus was the “information” molecule. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter14/animations.html# Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1969 Max Delbrück, Alfred D.

Luria "for their discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of viruses" Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Building a Structural Model of DNA: Scientific Inquiry • Once most biologists were convinced that DNA was the genetic material, the challenge was to determine how the structure of DNA could account for its role in inheritance http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/genome/dna.html What must DNA do? 1. Replicate to be passed on to the next generation 2. Store information 3. Undergo mutations to provide genetic diversity Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Linus Pauling • As a result of studying X-ray photographs and constructing molecular models, Linus Pauling (and Robert Cory, in 1951) proposed that the protein structures were either in the form of an alpha helix or the beta pleated sheet. • the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin Were using a technique called X-ray crystallography to study molecular structure • Rosalind Franklin – Produced a picture of the DNA molecule using this technique (a) Rosalind Franklin Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings (b) Franklin’s X-ray diffraction Photograph of DNA Overview: Life’s Operating Instructions In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick shook the world – With an elegant double-helical model for the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA Figure 16.1 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Watson and Crick deduced that DNA was a double helix 5end 3end P T S P S P G T purine base pyrimidine base phosphate A T A P C S S 5end P P T P A A S 4 P T 5 S P C 3end 1 S 3 3 1 4 S 2 5 G S P S C P 2 A P T S O 4 S C 3end a.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings DNA Replication • Concept 16.2: Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair • Since the two strands of DNA are complementary – Each strand acts as a template for building a new strand in replication – http://highered.mcgrawhill.com/sites/dl/free/0072835125/126997/animatio n16.html Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Base Pairing to a Template Strand • In DNA replication – The parent molecule unwinds, and two new daughter strands are built based on basepairing rules T A T A T A C G C G C T A T A T A A T A T A T G C G C G C G A T A T A T C G C G C G T A T A T A T A T A T C G C G C A G (a) The parent molecule has two complementary strands of DNA. Each base is paired by hydrogen bonding with its specific partner, A with T and G with C. (b) The first step in replication is separation of the two DNA strands. Figure 16.9 a–d Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings (c) Each parental strand now serves as a template that determines the order of nucleotides along a new, complementary strand. (d) The nucleotides are connected to form the sugar-phosphate backbones of the new strands. Each “daughter” DNA molecule consists of one parental strand and one new strand. DNA replication is semiconservative – Each of the two new daughter molecules will have one old strand, derived from the parent molecule, and one newly made strand Parent cell http://highered. mcgrawhill.com/site s/007243731 6/student_vi ew0/chapter 14/animatio ns.html# Conservative model. The two parental strands reassociate after acting as templates for new strands, thus restoring the parental double helix. Semiconservative model. The two strands of the parental molecule separate, and each functions as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. Dispersive model. Each strand of both daughter molecules contains a mixture of old and newly synthesized DNA. First replication Second replication (a) (b) (c) Figure 16.10 a–c Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Experiments performed by Meselson and Stahl Supported the semiconservative model of DNA replication (1957) Meselson and Stahl experiment (1957) EXPERIMENT Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl cultured E. coli bacteria for several generations on a medium containing nucleotide precursors labeled with a heavy isotope of nitrogen, 15N. The bacteria incorporated the heavy nitrogen into their DNA. The scientists then transferred the bacteria to a medium with only 14N, the lighter, more common isotope of nitrogen. Any new DNA that the bacteria synthesized would be lighter than the parental DNA made in the 15N medium. Meselson and Stahl could distinguish DNA of different densities by centrifuging DNA extracted from the bacteria. 1 Bacteria cultured in medium containing 15N 2 Bacteria transferred to medium containing 14N RESULTS 3 DNA sample centrifuged after 20 min (after first replication) 4 DNA sample centrifuged after 40 min (after second replication) Less dense Figure 16.11 More dense The bands in these two centrifuge tubes represent the results of centrifuging two DNA samples from the flask in step 2, one sample taken after 20 minutes and one after 40 minutes. CONCLUSION: Meselson and Stahl concluded that DNA replication follows the semiconservative model by comparing their result to the results predicted by each of the three models in Figure 16.10. The first replication in the 14N medium produced a band of hybrid (15N–14N) DNA. This result eliminated the conservative model. A second replication produced both light and hybrid DNA, a result that eliminated the dispersive model and supported the semiconservative model.

Bubble Parental (template) strand Daughter (new) strand 0.25 µm Replication fork 2 The bubbles expand laterally, as DNA replication proceeds in both directions. 3 Eventually, the replication bubbles fuse, and synthesis of the daughter strands is complete. Two daughter DNA molecules (a) In eukaryotes, DNA replication begins at many sites along the giant DNA molecule of each chromosome.

Elongating a New DNA Strand • Elongation of new DNA at a replication fork – • Is catalyzed by enzymes called DNA polymerases, which add nucleotides to the 3 end of a growing strand The Energetics of DNA Replication Powered by extra phosphates (triphosphates) ex: adenine is added to DNA strand as"deoxyadenosine triphosphate " (dATP) and guanine added as "deoxyguanosine triphosphate" (dGTP) – As the phosphate bonds are made, to attach the nucleotide to the DNA molecule, the extra phosphates are removed (thus releasing energy to power the process) New strand Template strand 3 end 5 end Sugar Phosphate OH Figure 16.13 3 end 5 end A Base T A T C G C G G C G C A T A C OH P P 3 end Pyrophosphate Nucleoside triphosphate5 end Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings C 2 P 5 end Antiparallel Elongation • How does the antiparallel structure of the double helix affect replication? • DNA is “built” in a 5’ to 3’ direction • DNA polymerases add nucleotides Only to the free 3end of a growing strand Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Leading and Lagging strands • Along one template strand of DNA, the leading strand – DNA polymerase III can synthesize a complementary strand continuously (one nucleotide at a time), moving toward the replication fork To elongate the other new strand of DNA, the lagging strand DNA polymerase III must work in the direction away from the replication fork The lagging strand Is synthesized as a series of segments called Okazaki fragments, which are then joined together by DNA ligase (enzyme) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Synthesis of leading and lagging strands during DNA replication The whole process, animated http://highered. mcgrawhill.com/olcweb/ cgi/pluginpop.c gi?it=swf::535:: 535::/sites/dl/fre e/0072437316/ 120076/micro04 .swf::DNA%20R eplication%20F ork 1 DNA pol Ill elongates DNA strands only in the 5 3 direction. 3 5 Parental DNA 5 3 Okazaki fragments 2 1 DNA pol III 3 The other new strand, the lagging strand must grow in an overall 3 5 direction by addition of short segments, Okazaki fragments, that grow 5 3 (numbered here in the order they were made).

This results in a continuous strand. Priming DNA Synthesis • DNA polymerases cannot initiate the synthesis of a polynucleotide – They can only add nucleotides to the 3 end • The initial nucleotide strand – Is an RNA or DNA primer Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Only one primer is needed for synthesis of the leading strand – But for synthesis of the lagging strand, each Okazaki fragment must be primed separately – View animations of the whole process here: http://www.mcb.harvard.edu/Losick/images/TromboneFINALd.swf http://highered.mcgrawhill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter14/animations.html# Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 1 Primase joins RNA nucleotides into a primer. 3 5 5 3 Template strand RNA primer 3 5 3 DNA pol III adds DNA nucleotides to the primer, forming an Okazaki fragment. 2 5 3 1 After reaching the next RNA primer (not shown), DNA pol III falls off.

Replication fork Primase DNA pol III Primer 4 DNA ligase DNA pol I Lagging strand 3 2 6 DNA pol I removes the primer from the 5 end of the second fragment, replacing it with DNA nucleotides that it adds one by one to the 3 end of the third fragment. The replacement of the last RNA nucleotide with DNA leaves the sugarphosphate backbone with a free 3 end.

DNA ligase Figure 16.17 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 4 DNA ligase seals the Free end of the new DNA To the old DNA, making the strand complete. Telomeres • Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecules – Have at their ends nucleotide sequences, called telomeres, that postpone the erosion of genes near the ends of DNA molecules Figure 16.19 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 1 µm Telomeres: the ends of the chromosomes • If the chromosomes of germ cells became shorter in every cell cycle – Essential genes would eventually be missing from the gametes they produce • An enzyme called telomerase – Catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres in germ cells – In somatic cells, that MITOTICALLY divide, telomeres are thought to be involved in cell aging, as the ends wear down (like the wick on a candle) – http://highered.mcgrawhill.com/sites/dl/free/0072835125/126997/animation1 9.html Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
