Proof that DNA is carrier of genetic information - 1928

• Griffith‘s experiment - Bacterial transformation

• Recombination of bacterial genetic material by

transmission of naked DNA into recipient cells

• Avery, McLeod, McCarthy (1944) – the same effect

with isolated DNA

Streptococcus pneumonie – S strain and R strain

Page 4: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

1953 - James D. Watson a Francis Crick

used x-ray diffraction data collected by Rosalind Franklin

• proposed the double helix as the threedimensional

structure of DNA

• the main role is the long-term storage of information

• ability to manage its own replication

• DNA manage the development of biochemical, anatomical

and physiological and behavioral traits of all known living

organism

Page 5: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Monomers - nucleotides: organic molecule called a

nitrogenous base, a pentose (five-carbon sugar) and

phosphate group

Two families of nitrogenous bases: pyrimidines, purines

Pyrimidine has a six-membered ring of cabron and nitrogen;

Cytosine (C), Thymin (T) and Uracil (U)

Purins the six-membered ring fused to a five-membered ring

Adenin (A), Guanin (G)

Page 6: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Bases - Adenine, guanine and cytosine are found in both

types of nucleic acid. Thymine is found only in DNA and

uracil only in RNA.

Sugars - Ribose in nucleotides of RNA

Deoxyribose in DNA

Nucleoside - nitrogenous base joined to sugar

Page 7: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Nucleotides are bonded by covalent bonds called

phosphodiester linkages between phosphate of one

and the sugar of the next.

Two polynucleotides spiral around imaginary axis to form

double helix

Two polynucleotides are held

by hydrogen bonds between

the paired bases and

by van der Waals attractions

between the stacked bases.

Page 8: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology
Page 9: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

DNA molecules - thousands or millions of base pairs

Adenine always pairs with thymine,

Guanine always pairs with cytosine.

Two strands of double helix

are complementary and

are antiparallel.

In preparation for cell division,

each strand serves

as a template to order nucleotides

into a new complementary strand

= Semiconservative replication

Page 10: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Cell cycle

Page 11: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Replication

Origins of replication

• circular bacterial chromosome has a single origin

• Replication starts in many places (Eukaryotes)

simultaneously and asynchronnous

• DNA replication proceeds in both direction

• At each end of replication bubble is replication fork

• DNA polymerase – addition of nucleotides only to the

free 3‘ end, new strand can elongate only in one direction

(5´→ 3´) + and correction of mistakes

Page 12: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

A new strand in direction 5´→ 3´ leading strand

The other strand – lagging s. is synthetized

discontinuously - Series of segments = Okazaki fragments

enzyme DNA Ligase joins them

Primase -

RNA primers

Helicase

Page 13: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

• One /10 000bp in replication

• DNA polymerase

• special enzymes

• continuous monitoring and repair

• nucleotid excision repair

Correction of mistakes

Page 14: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Human chromosomes: 22 pairs of autosomes

1 pair of gonosomes (heterochromosomes)

• Karyotype: men 46, XY, women 46, XX

Euchromatin

• despiralized in interphase

• spiralized in mitosis

• contains structural genes

Page 15: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Heterochromatin– repetitive sequences

Constitutive – centromers of all

chromosomes

Facultative - structurally

euchromatin, but behaves as

heterochromatin = one of

two X chromosomes in

women = genetically inactive

= X chromatin (sex

chromatin= Barr body)

Page 16: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

• DNA

• Histones – basic proteins

H1,H2A, H2B,H3,H4

• Non-histone proteins

The whole length DNA cca 2 m

human genome contains cca 30 000

structural genes

Ultrastructure of chromosomes

Page 17: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Nucleosome:

DNA double helix + histone core

• Histone core = octameres of two copies of H2A,

H2B, H3, H4

• DNA double helix is winded around the core

• spacer segment DNA between two nucleosomes is

free or associated with H1 histone (appearance of

beads on a string)

Organization of chromatin in interphase

Page 20: Molecular base of Inheritance DNA Premedical - biology

Condensation of chromatin into chromosomes

• String of nucleosomes is coiled into

solenoid (6 nucleosomes in each

turn)

• Solenoid is packed into loops attached

to the nonhistone protein scaffold

(Laemli loops)

• nonhistone protein scaffold with loops

is coiled into spiral structure of

chromatides

Telomeres

• multiple repetitions of one short nucleotide

sequence TTAGGG [human]

• telomeric DNA protects genes from being eroded,

protects from fusions

• telomerase special enzyme

• reduction of number of telomeres after each

replication

• abnormal activity of telomerase in tumor cells

energy transfer

respiration

reactions, motility, and cell division.

ATP - closely related to one type of nucleotide found in

nucleic acid [base adenine bonded to ribose]

• in RNA one phosphate group is attached to the ribose

• chain of three

phosphate groups

Hydrolysis - inorganic phosphate leaves ATP

became adenosine diphosphate - ADP

The reaction is exergonic

processes. cAMP is derived from adenosine triphosphate

(ATP) and used for intracellular signal transduction in

many different organisms.

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, abbreviated NAD+

cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein and is required for the protein's biological activity
