Transformation of Organisms Today

!Result the so-called genetically modified organisms (GMOs) ! Invaluable tool in modern biotechnology today!Commercial products that are currently much used !Green fluorescent protein (GFP) used as a marker

! A jellyfish gene codes for GFP! The jellyfish gene is isolated and then transferred to a bacterium,

or the embryo of a plant, pig, or mouse. ! When this gene is transferred to another organism, the organism

glows in the dark

X-Ray Diffraction of DNA

!Rosalind Franklin studied the structure of DNA using X-rays.

!She found that if a concentrated, viscous solution of DNA is made, it can be separated into fibers.

!Under the right conditions, the fibers can produce X-ray diffraction pattern!She produced X-ray diffraction photographs.!This provided evidence that DNA had the following

features:! DNA is a helix.! Some portion of the helix is repeated.

Replication of DNA

!DNA replication is the process of copying a DNA molecule.

!Replication is semiconservative, with each strand of the original double helix (parental molecule) serving as a template (mold or model) for a new strand in a daughter molecule.

Replication: Eukaryotic

!DNA replication begins at numerous points along linear chromosome

!DNA unwinds and unzips into two strands

!Each old strand of DNA serves as a template for a new strand

!Complementary base-pairing forms new strand on each old strand!Requires enzyme DNA polymerase

26

Replication: Eukaryotic

!Replication bubbles spread bi-directionally until they meet

!The complementary nucleotides join to form new strands. Each daughter DNA molecule contains an old strand and a new strand.

!Replication is semiconservative:!One original strand is conserved in each daughter

molecule i.e. each daughter double helix has one parental strand and one new strand.

Types of RNA

!RNA is a polymer of RNA nucleotides!RNA Nucleotides are of four types: Uracil,

Adenine, Cytosine, and Guanine!Uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) of DNA!Types of RNA

!Messenger (mRNA) - Takes genetic message from DNA in nucleus to ribosomes in cytoplasm

!Ribosomal (rRNA) - Makes up ribosomes which read the message in mRNA

!Transfer (tRNA) - Transfers appropriate amino acid to ribosome when “instructed”

The Genetic Code

!Properties of the genetic code:!Universal

! With few exceptions, all organisms use the code the same way! Encode the same 20 amino acids with the same 64 triplets

!Degenerate (redundant)! There are 64 codons available for 20 amino acids! Most amino acids encoded by two or more codons

!Unambiguous (codons are exclusive)! None of the codons code for two or more amino acids! Each codon specifies only one of the 20 amino acids

!Contains start and stop signals! Punctuation codons! Like the capital letter we use to signify the beginning of a sentence,

and the period to signify the end

43

The Genetic Code

!The unit of a code consists of codons, each of which is a unique arrangement of symbols

!Each of the 20 amino acids found in proteins is uniquely specified by one or more codons ! The symbols used by the genetic code are the mRNA bases

! Function as “letters” of the genetic alphabet! Genetic alphabet has only four “letters” (U, A, C, G)

! Codons in the genetic code are all three bases (symbols) long! Function as “words” of genetic information! Permutations:

! There are 64 possible arrangements of four symbols taken three at a time

! Often referred to as triplets! Genetic language only has 64 “words”

Steps in Gene Expression: Transcription

!Transcription!Gene unzips and exposes unpaired bases!Serves as template for mRNA formation!Loose RNA nucleotides bind to exposed DNA

bases using the C=G & A=U rule!When entire gene is transcribed into mRNA, result

is a pre-mRNA transcript of the gene!The base sequence in the pre-mRNA is

complementary to the base sequence in DNA

47

Transcription of mRNA! A single chromosomes consists of one very long molecule encoding

hundreds or thousands of genes! The genetic information in a gene describes the amino acid sequence of

a protein! The information is in the base sequence of one side (the “sense” strand) of the

DNA molecule! The gene is the functional equivalent of a “sentence”

! The segment of DNA corresponding to a gene is unzipped to expose the bases of the sense strand! The genetic information in the gene is transcribed (rewritten) into an mRNA

molecule! The exposed bases in the DNA determine the sequence in which the RNA bases

will be connected together! RNA polymerase connects the loose RNA nucleotides together

! The completed transcript contains the information from the gene, but in a mirror image, or complementary form

Processing Messenger RNA

!Pre-mRNA, is modified before leaving the eukaryotic nucleus. !Modifications to ends of primary transcript:

!Cap of modified guanine on 5! end! The cap is a modified guanine (G) nucleotide! Helps a ribosome where to attach when translation begins

!Poly-A tail of 150+ adenines on 3! end!Facilitates the transport of mRNA out of the nucleus!Inhibits degradation of mRNA by hydrolytic enzymes.

54

Processing Messenger RNA!Pre-mRNA, is composed of exons and introns.

!The exons will be expressed, !The introns, occur in between the exons.

! Allows a cell to pick and choose which exons will go into a particular mRNA

!RNA splicing:! Primary transcript consists of:

! Some segments that will not be expressed (introns)! Segments that will be expressed (exons)

! Performed by spliceosome complexes in nucleoplasm! Introns are excised! Remaining exons are spliced back together

!Result is mature mRNA transcript

55

RNA Splicing

!In prokaryotes, introns are removed by “self-splicing”—that is, the intron itself has the capability of enzymatically splicing itself out of a pre-mRNA

Functions of Introns

!As organismal complexity increases;!Number of protein-coding genes does not keep pace!But the proportion of the genome that is introns increases!Humans:

! Genome has only about 25,000 coding genes! Up to 95% of this DNA genes is introns

!Possible functions of introns:!More bang for buck

! Exons might combine in various combinations! Would allow different mRNAs to result from one segment of DNA

! Introns might regulate gene expression!Exciting new picture of the genome is emerging

Steps in Gene Expression: Translation

! tRNA molecules have two binding sites! One associates with the mRNA transcript! The other associates with a specific amino acid! Each of the 20 amino acids in proteins associates with one or more of

64 species of tRNA

! Translation! An mRNA transcript migrates to rough endoplasmic reticulum! Associates with the rRNA of a ribosome! The ribosome “reads” the information in the transcript! Ribosome directs various species of tRNA to bring in their specific

amino acid “fares”! tRNA specified is determined by the code being translated in the

mRNA transcript

61

tRNA

!tRNA molecules come in 64 different kinds!All very similar except that

!One end bears a specific triplet (of the 64 possible) called the anticodon

!Other end binds with a specific amino acid type! tRNA synthetases attach correct amino acid to the

correct tRNA molecule!All tRNA molecules with a specific anticodon will

always bind with the same amino acid

Steps in Translation: Initiation

!Components necessary for initiation are:!Small ribosomal subunit!mRNA transcript! Initiator tRNA, and!Large ribosomal subunit! Initiation factors (special proteins that bring the above

together)! Initiator tRNA:

!Always has the UAC anticodon!Always carries the amino acid methionine!Capable of binding to the P site

67

Steps in Translation: Initiation

!Small ribosomal subunit attaches to mRNA transcript

!Beginning of transcript always has the START codon (AUG)

!Initiator tRNA (UAC) attaches to P site

!Large ribosomal subunit joins the small subunit

Steps in Translation: Elongation

!“Elongation” refers to the growth in length of the polypeptide

!RNA molecules bring their amino acid fares to the ribosome!Ribosome reads a codon in the mRNA

!Allows only one type of tRNA to bring its amino acid!Must have the anticodon complementary to the mRNA codon being read

!Joins the ribosome at it’s A site!Methionine of initiator is connected to amino acid

of 2nd tRNA by peptide bond

71

Steps in Translation: Elongation

!Second tRNA moves to P site (translocation)

!Spent initiator moves to E site and exits

!Ribosome reads the next codon in the mRNA!Allows only one type of tRNA to bring its amino acid

! Must have the anticodon complementary to the mRNA codon being read

! Joins the ribosome at it’s A site

!Dipeptide on 2nd amino acid is connected to amino acid of 3nd tRNA by peptide bond

A tRNA–amino acidapproaches theribosome and bindsat the A site.

Two tRNAs can be at aribosome at one time;the anticodons arepaired to the codons.

Peptide bond formationattaches the peptidechain to the newlyarrived amino acid.

The ribosome moves forward; the“empty” tRNA exits from the E site;the next amino acid–tRNA complexis approaching the ribosome.

6. During elongation, polypeptide synthesis takes place one amino acid at a time.

7. Ribosome attaches to rough ER. Polypeptide enters lumen, where it folds and is modified.

8. During termination, a ribosome reaches a stop codon; mRNA and ribosomal subunits disband.

5. During initiation, anticodon-codon complementary base pairing begins as the ribosomal subunits come together at a start codon.

Structure of Eukaryotic Chromosome

!Contains a single linear DNA molecule, but is composed of more than 50% protein.

!Some of these proteins are concerned with DNA and RNA synthesis,

!Histones, play primarily a structural role! Five primary types of histone molecules! Responsible for packaging the DNA

!DNA double helix is wound at intervals around a core of eight histone molecules (called nucleosome)

!Nucleosomes are joined by “linker” DNA.

e. Metaphase chromosome

1. Wrapping of DNA around histone proteins.

4. Tight compaction of radial loops to form heterochromatin.

3. Loose coiling into radial loops.

2. Formation of a three-dimensional zigzag structure via histone H1 and other DNA-binding proteins.

5. Metaphase chromosome forms with the help of a protein scaffold.
