The Molecules of Heredity• Each cell of our bodies contains thousands of different

proteins.• How do cells know which proteins to synthesize out of

the extremely large number of possible amino acid sequences?

• From the end of the 19th century, biologists suspected that the transmission of hereditary information took place in the nucleus, more specifically in structures called chromosomeschromosomes.

• The hereditary information was thought to reside in genesgenes within the chromosomes.

• Chemical analysis of nuclei showed chromosomes are made up largely of proteins called histoneshistones and nucleic nucleic acidsacids.

The Molecules of Heredity• By the 1940s, it became clear that deoxyribonucleic deoxyribonucleic

acids (DNA)acids (DNA) carry the hereditary information.• Other work in the 1940s demonstrated that each gene

controls the manufacture of one protein.• Thus the expression of a gene in terms of an enzyme

protein led to the study of protein synthesis and its control.

Nucleic AcidsThere are two kinds of nucleic acids in cells:• Ribonucleic acids (RNA).• Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA).

Both RNA and DNA are polymers built from monomers called nucleotides. A nucleotide is composed of: • A base, a monosaccharide, and a phosphate.

DNA—Primary (1°) StructureFor nucleic acids, primary structure is the sequence of nucleotides, beginning with the nucleotide that has the free 5’ terminus.• The strand is read from the 5’end to the 3’end.• Thus, the sequence AGT means that adenine (A) is the

base at the 5’ terminus and thymine (T) is the base at the 3’ terminus.

whose side chains have a positive charge.• The negatively-charged DNA molecules and positively-

charged histones attract one another and form units called nucleosomes.

Replication of DNAThe DNA in the chromosomes carries out two functions:• (1) It reproduces itself. This process is called

replicationreplication.• (2) It supplies the information necessary to make all the

RNA and proteins in the body, including enzymes.

Replication begins at a point in the DNA called the origin of replication or a replication forkreplication fork.

25-36

Replication of DNAThe replication of DNA occurs in number of distinct steps.

1. Opening up of the superstructure of the chromosomes.

One key step is this process is acetylation-deacetylation of lysine residues on histones. This reaction eliminates some of the positive charges on histones and weakens the strength of the DNA-histone interaction.

Replication of DNA

3. Unwinding the DNA Double Helix.

Replication of DNA molecules starts with the unwinding of the double helix which can occur at either end or in the middle. Special unwinding proteins called helicaseshelicases, attach themselves to one DNA strand and cause the separation of the double helix.

2. Relaxation of Higher-Order Structures of DNA.TropoisomerasesTropoisomerases (also called gyrasesgyrases)

temporarily introduce either single-or double strand breaks in

DNA. Once the supercoiling is relaxed, the broken

strands are joined together and the tropoisomerase diffuses from the location of the replication fork.

Replication of DNA4. Primers/Primases

Primers are short—4 to 15 nucleotides long—RNA oligonucloetides synthesized from ribonucleoside triphosphates. They are needed to initiate the primase-catalyzed synthesis of both daughter strands.

5. DNA Polymerase

Once the two strands are separated at the replication fork, the DNA nucleotides must be lined up. In the absence of DNA polymerases, this alignment is extremely slow. The enzyme enables complementary base pairing with high specificity. While bases are being hydrogen bonded to their partners, polymerases join the nucleotide backbones.

Replication of DNAAlong the lagging strand 3’—>5”, the enzymes can synthesize only short fragments, because the only way they can work is from 5’ to 3’. These resulting short fragments consist of about 200 nucleotides each, named Okazaki fragmentsOkazaki fragments after their discoverer.

6. Ligation

The Okazaki fragments and any nicks remaining are eventually joined by DNA ligase.

DNA RepairThe viability of cells depends on DNA repair enzymes that can detect, recognize, and remove mutations from DNA. The most common repair mechanism is called base base eexcision repair (BER).xcision repair (BER). This pathway contains two parts.

1. A specific DNA glycosylaseglycosylase recognizes the damaged base. It hydrolyzes the N-C’ -glycosidic bond between the damaged base and the deoxyribose, then releases the damaged base. The sugar-phosphate backbone is still intact.

2. The backbone is cleaved by a second enzyme, an endonucleaseendonuclease. A third enzyme, an exonucleaseexonuclease, then liberates the sugar-phosphate unit of the damaged site.

3. In the synthesis step, DNA polymerase inserts the correct nucleotide and the enzyme DNA ligaseligase seals the backbone to compete the repair.

How Do We Amplify DNA?• To study DNA for basic and applied scientific purposes,

we must have enough of it to work with. • Millions of copies of selected DNA fragments can be

made within a few hours with high precision by a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR)polymerase chain reaction (PCR).• To use PCR, the sequence of a gene to be copied or at

least a sequenced segment bordering the desired DNA must be known.

• In such a case, two primers that are complementary to the ends of the gene or to the bordering DNA can be synthesized. The primers are polynucleotides consisting of 12 to 16 nucleotides. When added to the target DNA segment, they hybridize with the end of each strand of the gene.

Page 42: DNA Replication, Transcription and Translation DNA Replication, Transcription and Translation DNA Replication, Transcription and Translation DNA Replication,

25-42

How Do We Amplify DNA

A polymerase extends the primers in each direction as individual nucleotides are assembled and connected on the template DNA. In this way two copies are created. The two-step process is repeated (cycle 2) when the primers are hybridized with new strands and the primers extended again. At this point, four new copies have been created. The process is continued, and in 25 cycles, 225 or some 33 million copies can be made. This process is practical because of the discovery of heat-resistant polymerases isolated from bacteria that live in hot thermal vents on the sea floor. A temperature of 95°C is required to unwind the double helix to hybridize the primer to the target DNA.
