PROTEIN SYNTHESISPROTEIN SYNTHESIS
What is Protein Synthesis?
• How your cell makes very important How your cell makes very important proteinsproteins
Why are Proteins Important?
• Well, for starters, you are made of proteins.• 50% of the dry weight of a cell is protein of
one form or another. • Meanwhile, proteins also do all of the heavy
lifting in your body: – digestion, circulation, immunity, communication
between cells, motion-all are made possible by one or more of the estimated 100,000 different proteins that your body makes.
• The production (synthesis) of proteinsproteins.
• 3 phases3 phases:
1.1. TranscriptionTranscription

• Question:Question:
• How does RNARNA (ribonucleic acid) (ribonucleic acid) differ from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)?
RNARNA differs from DNADNA
1. RNARNA has a sugar ribosesugar ribose
DNADNA has a sugar deoxyribosesugar deoxyribose
2. RNARNA contains uracil (U)uracil (U)
DNADNA has thymine (T)thymine (T)
3. RNARNA molecule is single-strandedsingle-stranded
DNADNA is double-strandeddouble-stranded
1. Transcription1. Transcription
• Then moves along one of the DNA strandsDNA strands and links RNARNA nucleotides together.

1. Transcription 1. Transcription (mRNA production) (mRNA production)
• RNA molecules are produced by copying part of DNA into a complementary sequence of mRNA
• This process is started and controlled by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.

Question:Question:
• What would be the complementary RNARNA strand for the following DNADNA sequence?
• DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’DNA 5’-GCGTATG-3’
Types of RNATypes of RNA
• Three types ofThree types of RNARNA:
A.A. messenger RNA (mRNA)messenger RNA (mRNA)
B.B. transfer RNA (tRNA)transfer RNA (tRNA)
C.C. ribosome RNA (rRNA)ribosome RNA (rRNA)
• Remember: all produced in theRemember: all produced in the nucleusnucleus!!
mRNA
• Carries instructions from DNA to the rest of the ribosome.
• Tells the ribosome what kind of protein to make
• Acts like an email from the principal to the cafeteria lady.

• IntronsIntrons are pulled out and exonsexons come together.
• End product is a mature RNA mature RNA moleculemolecule that leaves the nucleusnucleus to the cytoplasm.cytoplasm.

• Three parts:
1. initiationinitiation: start codon (AUG)
2. elongationelongation:
3. terminationtermination: stop codon (UAG)
• Let’s make a PROTEIN!!!!PROTEIN!!!!.
