21.1 DNA and RNA structure and function
![Page 4: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DNA structure: A review• Double-stranded helix
• Composed of repeating nucleotides (made of a pentose sugar, phosphate and a nitrogenous base)
• Sugar and phosphate make up the backbone while the bases make up the “rungs” of the ladder
• Bases have complementary pairing with cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G) and adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T)

How does DNA replicate?
• The two strands unwind by breaking the H bonds
• Complementary nucleotides are added to each strand by DNA polymerase
• Each new double-stranded helix is made of one new strand and one old strand (semiconservative replication)
• The sequence of bases makes each individual unique

RNA structure and function• Single-stranded
• Composed of repeating nucleotides
• Sugar-phosphate backbone
• Bases are A, C, G and uracil (U)
• Three types of RNA– Ribosomal (rRNA): joins with proteins to form ribosomes– Messenger (mRNA): carries genetic information from DNA to the
ribosomes– Transfer (tRNA): transfers amino acids to a ribosome where they are
added to a forming protein

2 steps of gene expression
1. Transcription – DNA is read to make a mRNA in the nucleus of our cells
2. Translation – Reading the mRNA to make a protein in the cytoplasm
21.2 Gene expression
![Page 14: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Overview of transcription and translation
21.2 Gene expression
![Page 15: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The genetic code
• Made of 4 bases
• Bases act as a code for amino acids in translation
• Every 3 bases on the mRNA is called a codon that codes for a particular amino acid in translation
21.2 Gene expression
![Page 16: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1. Transcription
• mRNA is made from a DNA template
• mRNA is processed before leaving the nucleus
• mRNA moves to the ribosomes to be read
• Every 3 bases on the mRNA is called a codon and codes for a particular amino acid in translation
21.2 Gene expression
![Page 17: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Processing of mRNA after transcription
Modifications of mRNA:• One end of the RNA
is capped
• Introns removed
• Poly-A tail is added
21.2 Gene expression
![Page 18: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Translation• 3 steps:
1. Initiation: mRNA binds to the small ribosomal subunit and causes 2 ribosomal units to associate
2. Elongation: polypeptide lengthens• tRNA picks up an amino acid • tRNA has an anticodon that is complementary to the codon
on the mRNA• tRNA anticodon binds to the codon and drops off an amino
acid to the growing polypeptide
3. Termination: a stop codon on the mRNA causes the ribosome to fall off the mRNA

Regulation of gene expression
• 4 levels:1. Transcriptional control (nucleus):
• e.g. chromatin density and transcription factors
2. Posttranscriptional control (nucleus)• e.g. mRNA processing
3. Translational control (cytoplasm)• e.g. Differential ability of mRNA to bind ribosomes
4. Posttranslational control (cytoplasm)• e.g. changes to the protein to make it functional

What did we learn from the human genome project (HGP)?
• Humans consist of about 3 billion bases and 25,000 genes
• Human genome sequenced in 2003
• There are many polymorphisms or small regions of DNA that vary among individuals were identified
• Genome size is not correlated with the number of genes or complexity of the organisms
21.3 Genomics
![Page 23: Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology. Points to Ponder What are three functions of DNA? Review DNA and RNA structure. What are the 3 types of RNA and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697bfca1a28abf838ca93a8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is the next step in the HGP?
• Functional genomics• Understanding how the 25,000 genes function• Understanding the function of gene deserts (82
regions that make up 3% of the genome lacking identifiable genes)
• Comparative genomics• Help understand how species have evolved• Comparing genomes may help identify base
sequences that cause human illness• Help in our understanding of gene regulation

New endeavors
• Proteomics – the study of the structure, function and interactions of cell proteins
• Can be difficult to study because:• protein concentrations differ greatly between cells• protein location, concentration interactions differ from
minute to minute• understanding proteins may lead to the discovery of better
drugs
• Bioinformatics – the application of computer technologies to study the genome

How can we modify a person’s genome?
• Gene therapy - insertion of genetic material into human cells to treat a disorder
– Ex vivo therapy – cells are removed for a person altered and then returned to the patient
– In vivo therapy – a gene is directly inserted into an individual through a vector (e.g. viruses) or directly injected to replace mutated genes or to restore normal controls over gene activity
• Gene therapy has been most successful in treating cancer
