Chemical Languages:
The best way to understand the next section is to think of there being a DNA language, an RNA language, and a polypeptide language
![Page 4: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DNA Language:
DNA has 4 kinds of monomers (nucleotides):A,T, C, G
Monomers are the letters in this language
The language of DNA is written as a linear sequence of nucleotides:
AAACCGGCAAAA
![Page 5: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DNA Language:
Gene:A specific sequence of bases, each with
a beginning and an end
A typical gene can consist of thousands of nucleotides
One DNA molecule can contain thousands of genes
![Page 6: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
RNA Language:
RNA has 4 kinds of monomers (nucleotides):A,U, C, G
The language of RNA is written as a linear sequence of nucleotides:
UUUGGCCGUUUU
![Page 7: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Transcription
When the language of DNA is transcribed into the language of RNA
This is how a mRNA molecule is built:
DNA sequence is AAACCGGCAAAA
mRNA sequence is UUUGGCCGUUUU
![Page 8: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Figure 10.10
![Page 9: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Transcription
The nucleotide bases of the RNA molecule are complementary to the ones on the DNA strand
The DNA molecule was used as a template to make mRNA
![Page 10: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Translation
Conversion of the nucleic acid language to thepolypeptide language
The monomers or letters of the polypeptide language are the 20 different amino acids
![Page 11: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Translation
The sequence of nucleotides in a mRNA molecule dictates the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide
mRNA UUU GGC CGU UUU
Polypeptide AA1 AA2 AA3 AA4
![Page 12: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Figure 10.10
![Page 13: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Triplet Code
Every 3 bases codes for one amino acid
Each triplet in the mRNA is called a Codon
mRNA UUU GGC CGU UUU
Polypeptide AA1 AA2 AA3 AA4
![Page 14: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why a triplet code?
This is the only way to get enough “words” to specify all of the required amino acids
4 bases (in mRNA): A, G, C, U
20 different amino acids
43 = 64 different possible codons
![Page 15: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
With 64 possible code words,can have redundant coding for each amino acid
Example:Glutamic Acid codons: GAA, GAG
Glycine codons: GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG
REDUNDANCY in the code, but not AMBIGUITY
![Page 16: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Also, can have START and STOP codons
START codonAUGNote: also codes for an amino acid
(Met)
STOP codons UAAUAGUGA
![Page 17: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
First Base
Second Base
Third Base
In a codon, first base is the first letter, second base is the second letter, third base is the third letter
AUG
![Page 18: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Question:What are these codons or triplets?
Answer: The Genetic Code
It is shared by all organisms, although there is a tiny bit of variation
![Page 19: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Figure 10.00d
Should say most, not all share the same genetic code—there are a few variations
Tobacco plant + a Firefly gene
![Page 21: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Transcription (more details)
A mRNA molecule is transcribed from the DNA molecule in the nucleus of the cell
Enzyme required: RNA Polymerase
![Page 22: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Transcription (con't)
Similar to DNA Replication, but not quite the same
1. DNA molecule is split apart by RNA Polymerase
2. One of the DNA strands serves as a template
![Page 24: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Transcription (con't)
3. Initiation of transcription
4. Elongation of mRNA strand
5. Termination of transcription
![Page 25: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

3. Initiation of Transcription
Promoter region: A specific site on the DNA where the
RNA Polymerase attaches
Located at the beginning of a gene
Dictates which DNA strand is to be transcribed
The RNA Polymerase “knows” that it starts transcription at the promoter
![Page 27: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

3. Initiation of Transcription
First, the RNA Polymerase binds to promoter
Second, RNA synthesis begins
During transcription, an entire gene is transcribed into a mRNA molecule
![Page 29: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Transcription (con't)
4. Elongation of mRNA strandDuring this phase, the mRNA grows
longer
Behind it, the DNA strands come back together
![Page 31: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Transcription (con't)
5. Termination of transcription
Eventually the RNA Polymerase reaches the Terminator region of the gene (end of the gene)
The terminator region says, “Stop transcribing”
At this point, the RNA Polymerase detaches and the mRNA leaves the nucleus
![Page 33: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Prokaryotic cells:Lack a nucleus, after mRNA is
transcribed, it immediately takes part in translation
Eukaryotic cellsHave a nucleus, after mRNA is
transcribed, it has to be processed before leaving the nucleus
![Page 34: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Processing of Eukaryotic RNA
1. Addition of extra nucleotidesCap and Tail are added to the RNA strand
Protect the mRNA from cellular enzymes
Help ribosomes recognize the mRNA
![Page 35: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Processing of Eukaryotic RNA
2. RNA Splicing
Introns are removed from the mRNA
Introns are non-coding stretches of the mRNA
Intron functions: ?? (still unknown)
![Page 37: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

2. RNA Splicing (con't)
Exons: The coding regions of the mRNA
After the Introns are removed, only the Exons are left
![Page 39: Bio 1010 Dr. Bonnie A. Bain. DNA Structure and Function Part 2.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b6262c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
2. RNA Splicing (con't)
In humans, the Exons in the mRNA can be selectively removed, making different polypeptide “recipes”
Allows 25,000 genes (in humans) to make lots more than 25,000 different polypeptides

Transfer RNA or tRNA
Source of amino acids:Cytoplasm of the cell
tRNA tasks:
1. Pick up the appropriate amino acids
2. Bring them to the ribosome and place them on the right spot in the mRNA
