Presentation Transcript

  1. Genetic Organisation

  2. In Prokaryotes • Transcrition and translation occurs in same compartment (cytoplasm) • Simultaneous; m-RNAs are short-lived (afew minutes) • No splicing • M-RNA is not polyadenylated • No IRES in eukaryotes • No introns in prokayotes (except some bacteriophages)

  3. 5’-3’ direction Any strand of DNA can be transcribed No need for helicases, topoisomerases, primers RNA polymerase: 4 chains 2alpha, beta, Beta’ Promoter is recognised by the factor sigma Transcription

  4. In some cases termination  rho dependent factors, which are helicases • Rho utilisation site  80-100 bp upstream of actual terminator • In E. Coli other factors: tau, nus

  5. 70 s = 50 S and 30 S 50 S subunits: 23 S and 5 S RNA molecules 30 S subunits: 16 S RNA and 21 polypeptides rRNA binds to m-RNA at spesific sequences: Shine-Dalgerno sequence (RBS) partly complementary to the 3’ end of 16 S RNA In bacteria ribosomes

  6. tRNA

  7. Secretion of the proteins • Many proteins exert their functions on the cell surface or in extracellular environement they should across the cytoplasmic membrane • GSP  Sec dependent pathway • Proteins utlising GSP have a specific sequence at their N termini, which is cleaved during the transport

  8. In Gram positive bacteria GSP is sufficient but ın Gram negative bacteria Proteins reach only to the periplasmic space

  9. Gram negatives have addional mechanism: Sec dependent and Sec independent Sec dependent systems • Type II secretion system: A multiprotein complex transports proteins from the periplasmic space to the outside • Type V secretion system: The proteins have an additional sequence at the C terminus, forming pores in the outer membrane (aototransporters)

  10. Sec independent systems • Types I, III and IV

  11. Repair systems • Proof-reading • Miss-match repair: Methyle directed missmatch repair • Excision repair:uvrA, B and C endonucleases

  12. Post-replication (recombination) repair:

  13. SOS repair:ssDNA stimulates rec A • Rec A downregulates lex A whic repress SOS genes (18 genes) • Error prone DNA repairing system

  14. MUTATION and VARIATION • BActerial populations are not homgeneous • Mutations occurr randomly (Luria-Delbruck experiment – fluctuation test, 1943)

  15. Point mutation

  16. Insertion mutations

  17. Deletion

  18. Mutants • Auxotrophs: Biochemically different from the parent (prototroph) • Resistant: Antimicrobial resistance • Spontaneous mutations approx. 1 in 1 million

  19. Mutagenes • UV-light (TT-dimers formations Mutations, replication errors)

  20. Chemicals llike:Urea, nitrous acide, benzopyrene, etc...
