1. DNA: a. Nucleic acid which is a polymer of monomers

called nucleotides. b. Nucleotide made of: Phosphate group,

sugar (deoxyribose: 5 carbon atom molecule) and nitrogenous base.

DNA STRUCTURE

Page 3: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

c. Nitrogenous bases: A (Adenine), T(thymine), G (Guanine), and C(cytosine). Specific DNA information is stored according to the nitrogenous bases arrangement.

1. Cont. DNA:

Page 4: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

i. Cont. Nitrogenous bases: ii. Two kinds :

1. Pyrimidines: C and T 2. Purines: A and G 3. In a DNA molecule, a pyrimidine binds by

hydrogen bond to a purine.

1. Cont. DNA:

Page 5: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.
Page 6: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

d. DNA is a double stranded helix, and has a backbone of sugar-phosphate and the N bases are arranged as appendages along this back bone.

e. The two DNA strands are antiparallel to each other (oriented in opposite directions).

1. Cont. DNA:

Page 7: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

2. RNA a. Nucleic acid which is a polymer of monomers

called nucleotides. b. Nitrogenous bases: Same as DNA except

T(Thymine) is changed for Uracyl (U) c. Sugar: Ribose instead of deoxyribose d. One strand.

Page 8: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

3. DNA replication: a. Starts at “origin of replication”, where DNA is

uncoiled by a gyrase.

DNA FUNCTION

Page 9: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

3. DNA replication: a. Initiation proteins bind to origin and both DNA strands

open like a zipper, and two new daughter strands are synthesized by the enzyme DNA polymerase.

b. Both parental strands are used as templates (leading and lagging strands).

Page 10: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

e. Replication is bidirectional, and two replication forks are formed moving in different directions.

3. Cont. DNA replication:

Page 11: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

f. DNA polymerases catalyze the insertion of free nucleotides complementary to the parental DNA strand: semiconservative replication.

g. Lagging strand: Okazaki fragments. h. ATTAGGACCATTAGGACC Parental strand

4. Transcription: DNA → RNA

Page 31: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

4. Transcription: DNA > RNA a. Types of RNA:

i. mRNA( Messenger RNA):Carries the message of DNA (has the message for a specific protein)

ii. r RNA (Ribosomal RNA): Form part of ribosomes.

iii. tRNA: (Transfer RNA):Amino acid carrier

Page 32: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

b. Process of transcription: i. DNA serves as template for RNA

synthesis. ii. Unzipping of DNA; RNA polymerase

recognizes promoter, binds to it and bring new nucleotides for new RNA strand complementary to the parental DNA template.

Notes: 1. mRNA: Messenger RNA

a. Carries the message from DNA b. Has CODONS (Triplets of nucleotides)

Ie AUG, AGC, GAA c. Each codon specifies an amino acid

2. tRNA: Transfer RNA a. Clover leaf form b. Carries the anticodon c. On the opposite side, tRNA carries a

Specific aminoacid d. Each Anticodon binds to the codon of

mRNA bringing the corresponding amino acid

e. Redundancy of the genetic code: f. Starting codon: AUG g. Stop codons: UGA, UAG, UAA

iii. Eukaryotic RNA is processed before leaving the nucleus. It is cut by some proteins and RNA. Sometimes the RNA transcript itself catalyses the process. It cuts genes that do not encode for proteins (introns).

4. Translation: mRNA → Proteins a. Flow of genetic information: CENTRAL DOGMA

DNA → mRNA → Proteins

REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE ( HIV)

Page 47: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

b. Translation occurs in three stages: i. Chain initiation: Ribosomes recognize

initiation codon: AUG. tRNA with UAC anticodon brings amino acid (Met) and bind.

Page 48: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

ii. Chain elongation: Next codon of mRNA is read by ribosome UUA and tRNA brings Leu. Met and Leu are attached by an enzyme, and first tRNA breaks free. Ribosome moves and reads next codon; t RNA brings respective amino acid. This process is repeated, and protein chain grows.

Cont. Translation

iii. Chain termination: Terminator codon is reached. (UGA,UAA,UAG)

5. Mutations: Change in DNA that will imply a change in mRNA and proteins. A change in a nucleotide can mean a big change in a protein molecule that no longer can serve its purpose.

Mutations can be:

i. Spontaneous: Occur naturally, every 106 to 1010 divisions.

ii. Induced: Physical and chemical agents are involved called mutagens.

Page 61: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

ii. Cont. Induced mutations:

1. Physical agents that produce mutations: a. Ultraviolet light (UV): Causes thymine

dimmers: ATTCGGG → UAAGCCC (NORMAL)

ATTCGGG → UV light → AT=TCGGG Cannot be rea

Page 68: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

6. Repair mechanism: To correct mistakes in DNA.

a. Mismatch repair: Proofreading by DNA polymerase. b. Excision repair: Nucleases excise thymine dimmers.

Page 69: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

7. Transposable genetic elements: i. Insertion sequences: Carry no genetic

information. Only insert and make copies of them.

ii. Transposons: Jumping genes. Carry R genes.

Insertion sequence

Page 70: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

8. Microbial genetics: i. Viruses :

1. Are made of a protein coat and nucleic acid. Either DNA or RNA.

2. Viruses infect animal cells, plant cells and bacteria ( Bacteriophages)

Cell Size and Scale Resource at the University of Utah.

Page 71: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

i. Cont.Viruses :

3. When bacteriophages infect a bacterium, they can go two ways:

a. Lytic cycle: Lyses or break the cell by entering and taking up the cell synthetic machinery to reproduce itself.

Page 72: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

Cont. Microbial genetics: b. Lysogenic cycle: Instead of lysing the

cell, the DNA of the virus inserts in the cell DNA and can be passed on from parent cells to daughter cells. Sometimes those genes confer toxic genes.

Page 73: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.
Page 74: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

ii. Bacteria and Genetic Engineering What are PLASMIDS?

Extra chromosomal circular pieces of DNA in bacteria that normally carry genes such as:R genes : Resistance to antibiotic genes, TOX genes: Toxic genes (poisons)F Factors : Fertility factors (Sex factors) Plasmids are the vehicles of Genetic Engineering

Page 75: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

1. Genetic recombination: Transfer of DNA (plasmid DNA or chromosomal DNA fragments) from donor to recipient cell forming a new combination of genes

a. Forms of genetic recombination: i. Transformation: A metabolic active

bacteria acquires a piece of “naked” DNA (from a dead bacteria) from the environment.

Page 76: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

ii. Conjugation: Transfer of DNA form one bacteria (male) to another (female) by means of a sex pilus.

1. Needs cell to cell contact 2. Mediated by plasmids.

Page 77: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

iii.Transduction: DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by means of a virus or bacteriophage.

Page 78: DNA STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION CHAPTER 10. DNA STRUCTURE.

2. Recombinant DNA technology: a. Techniques to combine genes from

different sources into a single DNA molecule that is used for practical purposes

b. Bacteria are used, especially E. coli.
