Where are the genes? Where does a gene start?Where does the gene end? How do cells make proteinsfrom DNA? How is one gene read and another one not? How do proteinscreate phenotype?

  10. A B C D E disease disease disease disease Metabolism taught us about genes • Inheritance of metabolic diseases • suggested that genes coded for enzymes • each disease (phenotype) is caused by non-functional gene product • lack of an enzyme • Tay sachs • PKU (phenylketonuria) • albinism Am I just the sum of my proteins? metabolic pathway     enzyme 1 enzyme 2 enzyme 3 enzyme 4

  12. 1 gene – 1 enzyme hypothesis • Beadle & Tatum • Compared mutants of bread mold, Neurospora fungus • created mutations by X-ray treatments • X-rays break DNA • damage a gene • wild type grows on minimal media • sugars + required nutrients allows fungus to synthesize essential amino acids • mutants require added amino acids • each type of mutant lacks a certain enzyme needed to produce a certain amino acid • non-functional enzyme from damaged gene

  13. X rays or ultraviolet light Wild-type Neurospora asexual spores Minimal medium Growth on complete medium spores Select one of the spores Grow on complete medium Test on minimal medium to confirm presence of mutation Minimal media supplemented only with… Choline Pyridoxine Riboflavin Minimal control Nucleic acid Arginine Niacin Inositol Folic acid p-Amino benzoic acid Thiamine Beadle & Tatum create mutations positive control negative control mutation identified experimentals amino acidsupplements

  15. 1941 | 1958 Beadle & Tatum one gene : one enzyme hypothesis George Beadle Edward Tatum "for their discovery that genes act by regulating definite chemical events"

  16. The “Central Dogma” • Flow of genetic information in a cell • How do we move information from DNA to proteins? transcription translation RNA DNA protein trait DNA gets all the glory, but proteins do all the work! replication

  17. RNA • ribose sugar • N-bases • uracil instead of thymine • U : A • C : G • single stranded • lots of RNAs • mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, siRNA… transcription DNA RNA

  18. Transcription fromDNA nucleic acid languagetoRNA nucleic acid language

  19. Transcription • Making mRNA • transcribed DNA strand = template strand • untranscribed DNA strand = coding strand • same sequence as RNA • synthesis of complementary RNA strand • transcription bubble • enzyme • RNA polymerase coding strand 3 A G C A T C G T 5 A G A A A C G T T T T C A T C G A C T DNA 3 C T G A A 5 T G G C A U C G U T C unwinding 3 G T A G C A rewinding mRNA template strand RNA polymerase 5 build RNA 53

  20. Bacterial chromosome Transcription in Prokaryotes Transcription mRNA Psssst…no nucleus! Cell membrane Cell wall

  21. Transcription in Prokaryotes • Initiation • RNA polymerase binds to promoter sequence on DNA Role of promoter • Starting point • where to start reading • start of gene • Template strand • which strand to read • Direction on DNA • always read DNA 35 • build RNA 53

  22. Transcription in Prokaryotes • Promoter sequences enzymesubunit RNA polymerase read DNA 35 bacterial DNA Promoter TTGACA TATAAT –35 sequence –10 sequence RNA polymerase molecules bound to bacterial DNA RNA polymerase strong vs. weak promoters

  23. Transcription in Prokaryotes • Elongation • RNA polymerase copies DNA as it unwinds • ~20 base pairs at a time • 300-500 bases in gene • builds RNA 53 • Simple proofreading • 1 error/105 bases • make many mRNAs • mRNA has short life • not worth editing! reads DNA 35

  24. Transcription in Prokaryotes • Termination • RNA polymerase stops at termination sequence RNA GC hairpin turn

  25. Transcription in Eukaryotes Transcription RNA Processing Psssst…DNA can’tleave nucleus! Translation Protein

  26. Prokaryotes DNA in cytoplasm circular chromosome naked DNA no introns Eukaryotes DNA in nucleus linear chromosomes DNA wound on histone proteins introns vs. exons intron = noncoding (inbetween) sequence exon = coding (expressed) sequence Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote genes intronscome out! eukaryotic DNA

  27. Transcription in Eukaryotes • 3 RNA polymerase enzymes • RNA polymerase 1 • only transcribes rRNA genes • makes ribosomes • RNA polymerase 2 • transcribes genes into mRNA • RNA polymerase 3 • only transcribes tRNA genes • each has a specific promoter sequence it recognizes

  28. Transcription in Eukaryotes • Initiation complex • transcription factors bind to promoter region upstream of gene • suite of proteins which bind to DNA • turn on or off transcription • TATA box binding site • recognition site for transcription factors • transcription factors trigger the binding of RNA polymerase to DNA

  29. intron = noncoding (inbetween) sequence exon = coding (expressed) sequence Post-transcriptional processing • Primary transcript (pre-mRNA) • eukaryotic mRNA needs work after transcription • mRNA processing (making mature mRNA) • mRNA splicing = edit out introns • protect mRNA from enzymes in cytoplasm • add 5 cap • add polyA tail 3' poly-A tail 3' A A A A A mRNA 50-250 A’s 5' cap P P P 5' G ~10,000 bases eukaryotic DNA pre-mRNA primary mRNA transcript ~1,000 bases mature mRNA transcript spliced mRNA

  31. Splicing must be accurate • No room for mistakes! • splicing must be exactly accurate • a single base added or lost throws off the reading frame AUGCGGCTATGGGUCCGAUAAGGGCCAU AUGCGGUCCGAUAAGGGCCAU AUG|CGG|UCC|GAU|AAG|GGC|CAU Met|Arg|Ser|Asp|Lys|Gly|His AUGCGGCTATGGGUCCGAUAAGGGCCAU AUGCGGGUCCGAUAAGGGCCAU AUG|CGG|GUC|CGA|UAA|GGG|CCA|U Met|Arg|Val|Arg|STOP|

  35. Bacterial chromosome Translation in Prokaryotes Transcription mRNA Translation Psssst…no nucleus! protein Cell membrane Cell wall

  36. Translation in Prokaryotes • Transcription & translation are simultaneous in bacteria • DNA is in cytoplasm • no mRNA editing • ribosomesread mRNA as it is being transcribed

  37. Translation: prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes • Differences between prokaryotes & eukaryotes • time & physical separation between processes • takes eukaryote ~1 hour from DNA to protein • RNA processing

  48. Loading tRNA • Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase • enzyme which bonds amino acid to tRNA • bond requires energy • ATP  AMP • energy stored in tRNA-amino acid bond • unstable • so it can release amino acid at ribosome easily Trp C=O Trp Trp C=O H2O OH O OH C=O O activating enzyme tRNATrp A C C mRNA U G G anticodon tryptophan attached to tRNATrp tRNATrp binds to UGG condon of mRNA

  49. Ribosomes • Facilitate coupling of tRNA anticodon to mRNA codon • organelle or enzyme? • Structure • ribosomal RNA (rRNA) & proteins • 2 subunits • large • small E P A

  50. Ribosomes • A site (aminoacyl-tRNA site) • holds tRNA carrying next amino acid to be added to chain • P site (peptidyl-tRNA site) • holds tRNA carrying growing polypeptide chain • E site (exit site) • empty tRNA leaves ribosome from exit site Met C A U 5' G U A 3' E P A
