2.Biologist Timeline

??????What was Fredrick Griffith trying to learn?

Why was he trying to learn how bacteria made people sick?

Why is it important to learn how bacteria causes diseases?

Griffith and Transformation

Griffith and Transformation

In 1928, British scientist Fredrick Griffith was trying to learn how certain types of bacteria caused pneumonia.

He isolated two different strains of pneumonia bacteria from mice and grew them in his lab.

Griffith and Transformation

Griffith made two observations:

(1) The disease-causing strain of bacteria grew into smooth colonies on culture plates.

(2) The harmless strain grew into colonies with rough edges.

Who can describe Griffiths first experiment?

Griffith and Transformation

Griffith's Experiments

Griffith set up four individual experiments.

Experiment 1: Mice were injected with the disease-causing strain of bacteria. The mice developed pneumonia and died.

Second experiment?

Griffith and Transformation

Experiment 2: Mice were injected with the harmless strain of bacteria. These mice didn’t get sick.

Harmless bacteria (rough colonies)

Lives

Third experiment?

Griffith and Transformation

Experiment 3: Griffith heated the disease-causing bacteria. He then injected the heat-killed bacteria into the mice. The mice survived.

Heat-killed disease-causing bacteria (smooth colonies)

Lives

Fourth experiment?

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Griffith and Transformation

Experiment 4: Griffith mixed his heat-killed, disease-causing bacteria with live, harmless bacteria and injected the mixture into the mice. The mice developed pneumonia and died.

What did Griffith conclude?

Griffith and Transformation

Griffith concluded that the heat-killed bacteria passed their disease-causing ability to the harmless strain.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

What did Griffith call this process of changing one molecule into another?

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Griffith and Transformation

Transformation 

Griffith called this process transformation because one strain of bacteria (the harmless strain) had changed permanently into another (the disease-causing strain).

Griffith hypothesized that a factor must contain information that could change harmless bacteria into disease-causing ones.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

What did Avery want to determine?

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Avery and DNA

Avery and DNA

Oswald Avery repeated Griffith’s work to determine which molecule was most important for transformation.

Avery and his colleagues made an extract from the heat-killed bacteria that they treated with enzymes.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

How did Avery go about this testing?

Avery and DNA

The enzymes destroyed proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and other molecules, including the nucleic acid RNA.

Transformation still occurred.

What is the next step Avery took?

Avery and DNA

Avery and other scientists repeated the experiment using enzymes that would break down DNA.

When DNA was destroyed, transformation did not occur. Therefore, they concluded that DNA was the transforming factor.

What was Avery's conclusion?

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Avery and DNA

Avery and other scientists discovered that the nucleic acid DNA stores and transmits the genetic information from one generation of an organism to the next.

What question did Hershey and Chase want answers to?

The Hershey-Chase ExperimentThe Hershey-Chase Experiment

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase studied viruses—nonliving particles smaller than a cell that can infect living organisms.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

The Hershey-Chase Experiment

Wanted to know if genes were made of protein or DNA.

Bacteriophages 

A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage.

Bacteriophages are composed of a DNA or RNA core and a protein coat.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

How did they go about their experiment?

The Hershey-Chase Experiment

They grew viruses in cultures containing radioactive isotopes of phosphorus-32 (32P) and sulfur-35 (35S).

The Hershey-Chase Experiment

If 35S was found in the bacteria, it would mean that the viruses’ protein had been injected into the bacteria.

Phage infects bacterium

No radioactivity inside bacterium

The Hershey-Chase Experiment

If 32P was found in the bacteria, then it was the DNA that had been injected.

Bacteriophage withphosphorus-32 in DNA

Phage infects bacterium

Radioactivity inside bacterium

What did they find in the bacteria?

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

The Hershey-Chase Experiment

Nearly all the radioactivity in the bacteria was from phosphorus (32P).

Hershey and Chase concluded that the genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA, not protein.

The Components and Structure of DNA

The Components and Structure of DNA

DNA is made up of nucleotides.

A nucleotide is a monomer of nucleic acids made up of:

Deoxyribose – 5-carbon Sugar

Phosphate Group

Nitrogenous Base

The Components and Structure of DNA

There are four kinds of bases in in DNA:

adenineguanine cytosinethymine

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

The Components and Structure of DNA

Chargaff's Rules

Erwin Chargaff discovered that:The percentages of guanine [G] and

cytosine [C] bases are almost equal in any sample of DNA.

The percentages of adenine [A] and thymine [T] bases are almost equal in any sample of DNA.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

The Components and Structure of DNA

X-Ray Evidence 

Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to get information about the structure of DNA.

She aimed an X-ray beam at concentrated DNA samples and recorded the scattering pattern of the X-rays on film.

The Components and Structure of DNA

The Double Helix Using clues from Franklin’s pattern, James Watson and Francis Crick built a model that explained how DNA carried information and could be copied.

Watson and Crick's model of DNA was a double helix, in which two strands were wound around each other.

The Components and Structure of DNADNA Double Helix

The Components and Structure of DNA

Watson and Crick discovered that hydrogen bonds can form only between certain base pairs—adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine.

This principle is called base pairing.

DNA Replication

DNA Replication

Each strand of the DNA double helix has all the information needed to reconstruct the other half by the mechanism of base pairing.

In most prokaryotes, DNA replication begins at a single point and continues in two directions.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

DNA Replication

In eukaryotic chromosomes, DNA replication occurs at hundreds of places. Replication proceeds in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied.

The sites where separation and replication occur are called replication forks.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

DNA Replication

Duplicating DNA 

Before a cell divides, it duplicates its DNA in a process called replication.

Replication ensures that each resulting cell will have a complete set of DNA.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

DNA Replication

During DNA replication, the DNA molecule separates into two strands, then produces two new complementary strands following the rules of base pairing. Each strand of the double helix of DNA serves as a template for the new strand.

Kinds of Mutations

Kinds of Mutations

Gene mutations - Mutations that produce changes in a single gene

Chromosomal mutations - Mutations that produce changes in whole chromosomes

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Kinds of Mutations

Gene Mutations 

- involve a change in one or a few nucleotides

- known as point mutations - they occur at a single point in

the DNA sequence.

Point mutations include substitutions, insertions, and deletions.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Kinds of Mutations

Substitutions

-usually affect no more than a single amino acid

-a base is changed

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Kinds of Mutations

Frameshift mutations

- The effects of insertions or deletions are more dramatic.

- addition or deletion of a nucleotide causes a shift in the grouping of codons.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Kinds of Mutations

In an insertion, an extra base is inserted into a base sequence.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Kinds of Mutations

In a deletion, the loss of a single base is deleted and the reading frame is shifted.

12-5 Gene Regulation

Gene Regulation: An Example

Gene Regulation: An Example

E. coli provides an example of how gene expression can be regulated.

An operon is a group of genes that operate together.

In E. coli, these genes must be turned on so the bacterium can use lactose as food.

they are called the lac operon.

Gene Regulation: An Example

How are lac genes turned off and on?

Gene Regulation: An Example

lac genes are turned off by repressors turned on by the presence of lactose.

Gene Regulation: An Example On one side of the operon's three genes are two

regulatory regions. In the promoter (P) region, RNA polymerase

binds and then begins transcription.

Gene Regulation: An Example

The other region is the operator (O).

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Gene Regulation: An Example

When the lac repressor binds to the O region, transcription is not possible.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Gene Regulation: An Example When lactose is added, sugar binds to the repressor proteins.

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Gene Regulation: An Example The repressor protein changes shape and falls off the operator and

transcription is made possible.

Gene Regulation: An Example

Many genes are regulated by repressor proteins.

Some genes use proteins that speed transcription.

Sometimes regulation occurs at the level of protein synthesis.

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

How are most eukaryotic genes controlled?

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Operons are generally not found in eukaryotes.   

Most eukaryotic genes are controlled individually and have regulatory sequences that are much more complex than those of the lac operon.

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Many eukaryotic genes have a sequence called the TATA box.

Direction of transcription

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

The TATA box seems to help position RNA polymerase.

Direction of transcription

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Eukaryotic promoters are usually found just before the TATA box, and consist of short DNA sequences.

Direction of transcription

Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Genes are regulated in a variety of ways by enhancer sequences.

Many proteins can bind to different enhancer sequences.

Some DNA-binding proteins enhance transcription by:

opening up tightly packed chromatin helping to attract RNA polymerase blocking access to genes.

Development and Differentiation

Development and DifferentiationAs cells grow and divide, they

undergo differentiation, meaning they become specialized in structure and function.

Hox genes control the differentiation of cells and tissues in the embryo.

Development and Differentiation

Careful control of expression in hox genes is essential for normal development.

All hox genes are descended from the genes of common ancestors.
