Presentation Transcript

  1. Mutations

  2. TACGCACATTTACGTACGCGG DNA mRNA AUGCGUGUAAAUGCAUGCGCC protein aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa trait Genes • Genes code for proteins • the order of A, T, C & G • Proteins create traits

  3. trait Transcription & Translation • Genes code for proteins through… • transcription • translation

  4. Mutations • Mutations are changes in DNA sequences • changes to the order of A, T, C & G • different order = different amino acid in protein • different protein structure = different protein function BB Bb bb

  5. Mutations • Point mutations • single base change • silent mutation • no amino acid change • redundancy in code • missense • change amino acid • nonsense • change to stop codon

  6. Point mutation leads to Sickle cell anemia What kind of mutation? Missense!

  7. Sickle cell anemia • Primarily Africans • recessive inheritance pattern • strikes 1 out of 400 African Americans

  8. Mutations • Frameshift • shift in the reading frame • changes everything “downstream” • insertions • adding base(s) • deletions • losing base(s) Where would this mutation cause the most change:beginning or end of gene?

  9. Frameshift mutations THERATANDTHECATATETHEREDBAT THERATANDTHECATATETHEREDBAT Deletion THERTANDTHECATATETHEREDBAT THERTANDTHECATATETHEREDBAT Insertion THERAATANDTHECATATETHEREDBAT THERAATANDTHECATATETHEREDBAT

  10. Cystic fibrosis • Primarily whites of European descent • strikes 1 in 2500 births • 1 in 25 whites is a carrier (Aa) • normal allele codes for a membrane protein that moves Cl- across cell membrane • mutant channel limit movement of Cl- (& H2O) across cell membrane • thicker & stickier mucus coats cells • mucus build-up in the pancreas, lungs, digestive tract & causes bacterial infections • without treatment children die before 5; with treatment can live past their late 20s

  11. Chloride channel transports chloride through protein channel out of cell Osmotic effects: H2O follows Cl- Effect on Lungs normal lungs airway Cl- Cl- channel H2O cells lining lungs cystic fibrosis Cl- H2O bacteria & mucus build up thickened mucus hard to secrete mucus secreting glands

  12. What’s the value ofmutations?

  13. Point mutation leads to Sickle cell anemia What kind of mutation?
