Presentation Transcript

  1. Genetic Code and Translation

  2. Outline • The Breaking of the Genetic Code • Examples of two experimental approaches • Concepts and Terms related to genetic code • Wobble • Degeneracy • isoaccepting • Translation • prokaryote • eukaryotes

  3. The Genetic Code and Translation

  4. The Breaking of the Genetic Code

  5. Experiments that “broke the genetic code” • 1. Cell Free experiments • Applied to the Homopolymer experiment • 2. Known RNA sequences and ribosomal bound tRNA

  6. 1. Overview 3 2 1 All these experiments used a cell free system. 4 5 ppt. protein

  7. Application of experimental design 1 hot amino acid translation + 19 cold amino acids Cell free system 20X each a different “hot amino acid

  8. 2. Known mRNA sequences + Ribosomal bound tRNA Amino acid This is transfer RNA Now link this idea to The genetic code table Anti-codon

  9. Amino Acid Transfer RNA ribosome

  10. Mix with Codon of mRNA 2. EXPERIMENT Isolate ribosome bound tRNA Analyze amino acid

  11. Close up of a possible result:

  12. Genetic Code Table 1968 Wobble Degeneracy & mRNA

  13. Isoaccepting & tRNAs Different tRNAs accept same amino acid!

  14. The process of translation

  15. We will approach our discussion of translation as a “Nonoverlapping Code” mRNA sequences

  16. Steps of Translation • 1. Binding of amino acids to tRNA • 2. Initiation • 3. Elongation • 4. Termination • 5. Peptide Release • 6. Protein modification

  17. Step 1 Binding of amino acid to tRNA

  18. It takes two steps to “charge” the tRNA Aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetase Amino acid+ATP tRNA is charged

  19. Up close view of “charged” tRNA

  20. Bacterial Initiation Step 2: Initiation of Translation IF3

  21. 30S

  22. Note 3 ribosomal sites P A E 70S E A

  23. Kozak Eukaryotic Initiation key differences

  24. Peptidyl transferase 3. ELONGATION: look at the “EPA” sites

  25. Up close view of translation

  26. Elongation continues on ribosomes

  27. UAA UAG UGA Steps 4 and 5: Termination and Release

  28. Animation of Translation http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter14/animations.html See chapter 15

  29. 6. Lipoprotein Glycoprotein

  30. Many antibiotics target prokaryotic translation.

  31. Tetracyclines Chloramphenicol Streptoymycin Erythromycin Bind and block bacterial ribosomes “A” site Binds to large subunit; blocks peptide formation Blocks initiation step Blocks translocation step Antibiotics and Translation

  32. Review: The Structure and Function of Proteins

  33. Amino Acids-R groups • Nonpolar, aliphatic • Polar, uncharged • Aromatic • Positively charged • Negatively charged

  34. Protein: Levels of structural organization

  35. For your review: Summary of important steps involved in translation

  36. 1. 2.

  37. 3.

  38. 4.

  39. 5.

  40. 6. Protein Modifications

  41. Eukaryotic translation is very similar except: • More IF’s • Kozak sequence • 5’CAP • 3’poly-A tail
