Genetics – the study of heredity
1. transmission of biological traits from parent to offspring
2. expression & variation of those traits
3. structure & function of genetic material
4. how this material changes

Levels of genetic study
![Page 5: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Levels of structure & function of the genome
• genome – sum total of genetic material of an organism (chromosomes + mitochondria/chloroplasts and/or plasmids)– genome of cells – DNA– genome of viruses – DNA or RNA
• chromosome – length of DNA containing genes • gene-fundamental unit of heredity responsible for
a given trait– site on the chromosome that provides information for
a certain cell function– segment of DNA that contains the necessary code to
make a protein or RNA molecule

Genomes vary in size
• smallest virus – 4-5 genes
• E. coli – single chromosome containing 4,288 genes; 1 mm; 1,000X longer than cell
• Human cell – 46 chromosomes containing 31,000 genes; 6 feet; 180,000X longer than cell

• Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides similar to how proteins are made of amino acids
• each nucleotide consists of 3 parts– a 5 carbon sugar (deoxyribose or ribose)– a phosphate group– a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine,
guanine, and uracil)
![Page 9: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

DNA structure• 2 strands twisted into a helix
• sugar -phosphate backbone
• nitrogenous bases form steps in ladder– constancy of base pairing– A binds to T with 2 hydrogen bonds– G binds to C with 3 hydrogen bonds
• antiparallel strands 3’to 5’ and 5’to 3’
• each strand provides a template for the exact copying of a new strand
• order of bases constitutes the DNA code
![Page 10: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Significance of DNA structure
1. Maintenance of code during reproduction. Constancy of base pairing guarantees that the code will be retained.
2. Providing variety. Order of bases responsible for unique qualities of each organism.

DNA replication is semiconservative because each chromosome ends up with one
new strand of DNA and one old strand.

DNA replication
• Begins at an origin of replication• Helicase unwinds and unzips the DNA double
helix• An RNA primer is synthesized• DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides in a 5’ to 3’
direction• Leading strand – synthesized continuously in 5’
to 3’ direction• Lagging strand – synthesized 5’ to 3’ in short
segments; overall direction is 3’ to 5’

• What are the products that genes encode?– RNAs and proteins
• How are genes expressed? – transcription and translation
![Page 18: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Gene expression
• Transcription – DNA is used to synthesize RNA – RNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible
• Translation –making a protein using the information provided by messenger RNA– occurs on ribosomes
![Page 19: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• Genotype - genes encoding all the potential characteristics of an individual
• Phenotype -actual expressed genes of an individual (its collection of proteins)
![Page 20: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

DNA-protein relationship
1. Each triplet of nucleotides (codon) specifies a particular amino acid.
2. A protein’s primary structure determines its shape & function.
3. Proteins determine phenotype. Living things are what their proteins make them.
4. DNA is mainly a blueprint that tells the cell which kinds of proteins to make and how to make them.

3 types of RNA
• messenger RNA (mRNA)
• transfer RNA (tRNA)
• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
![Page 23: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

25
Transcription
1. RNA polymerase binds to promoter region upstream of the gene
2. RNA polymerase adds nucleotides complementary to the template strand of a segment of DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction
3. Uracil is placed as adenine’s complement4. At termination, RNA polymerase recognizes
signals and releases the transcript• 100-1,200 bases long

27
Translation
• Ribosomes assemble on the 5’ end of a mRNA transcript
• Ribosome scans the mRNA until it reaches the start codon, usually AUG
• A tRNA molecule with the complementary anticodon and methionine amino acid enters the P site of the ribosome & binds to the mRNA
![Page 28: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Interpreting the DNA code
![Page 31: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Translation elongation
• A second tRNA with the complementary anticodon fills the A site
• A peptide bond is formed• The first tRNA is released and the ribosome slides
down to the next codon.• Another tRNA fills the A site & a peptide bond is
formed.• This process continues until a stop codon is
encountered.

33
Translation termination
• Termination codons – UAA, UAG, and UGA – are codons for which there is no corresponding tRNA.
• When this codon is reached, the ribosome falls off and the last tRNA is removed from the polypeptide.

35
Eucaryotic transcription & translation differs from procaryotic1. Do not occur simultaneously. Transcription
occurs in the nucleus and translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
2. Eucaryotic start codon is AUG, but it does not use formyl-methionine.
3. Eucaryotic mRNA encodes a single protein, unlike bacterial mRNA which encodes many.
4. Eucaryotic DNA contains introns – intervening sequences of noncoding DNA- which have to be spliced out of the final mRNA transcript.

40
Operons
• a coordinated set of genes, all of which are regulated as a single unit.
• 2 types– inducible – operon is turned ON by substrate:
catabolic operons- enzymes needed to metabolize a nutrient are produced when needed
– repressible – genes in a series are turned OFF by the product synthesized; anabolic operon –enzymes used to synthesize an amino acid stop being produced when they are not needed
![Page 41: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Lactose operon: inducible operon
Made of 3 segments:1. Regulator- gene that codes for repressor2. Control locus- composed of promoter and
operator3. Structural locus- made of 3 genes each coding
for an enzyme needed to catabolize lactose – -galactosidase – hydolyzes lactose permease - brings lactose across cell membrane-galactosidase transacetylase – uncertain function
![Page 42: Foundations in Microbiology Chapter 9 PowerPoint to accompany Fifth Edition Talaro Copyright The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649d295503460f949fdf7c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Lac operon
• Normally off– In the absence of lactose the repressor binds
with the operator locus and blocks transcription of downstream structural genes
• Lactose turns the operon on– Binding of lactose to the repressor protein
changes its shape and causes it to fall off the operator. RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter. Structural genes are transcribed.

44
Arginine operon: repressible
• Normally on and will be turned off when nutrient is no longer needed.
• When excess arginine is present, it binds to the repressor and changes it. Then the repressor binds to the operator and blocks arginine synthesis.

46
Antibiotics that affect gene expression
• Rifamycin – binds to RNA polymerase• Actinomycin D - binds to DNA & halts mRNA
chain elongation• Erythromycin & spectinomycin – interfere with
attachment of mRNA to ribosomes• Chloramphenicol, linomycin & tetracycline-bind
to ribosome and block elongation• Streptomycin – inhibits peptide initiation &
elongation

47
Mutations – changes in the DNA
• Point mutation – addition, deletion or substitution of a few bases
• Missense mutation – causes change in a single amino acid
• Nonsense mutation – changes a normal codon into a stop codon
• Silent mutation – alters a base but does not change the amino acid
