Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 12: DNA, RNA, AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

  2. Proteins Are Made by Decoding Information in DNA • Proteins have many different functions in the body • Hemoglobin (transports oxygen) • Keratin (part of hair) • Enzymes • Proteins are not made directly from DNA because it can not leave the nucleus • Another molecule is involved…

  3. Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) • RNA is a nucleic acid like DNA, BUT… • It’s a single strand of nucleotides • It contains ribose instead of deoxyribose • It contains the base Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T)

  4. Read page 336 in your book and create a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting DNA and RNA…

  5. Protein Synthesis Steps: • Transcription • Translation

  6. Transcription • DNA can not leave the nucleus so a messenger is needed to get the information to the rest of the cell • Transcription is the process of making a molecule of RNA (messenger) from a molecule of DNA • Like writing notes on another piece of paper from information on this powerpoint

  7. Transcription • The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to a segment of DNA and “unzips” DNA similar to replication • RNA nucleotides assemble themselves to match up with the bases on DNA • This continues until a “stop” signal is reached

  8. Transcription 4. When transcription is complete, the DNA “zips” back up and the new mRNA (m = messenger) is released. 5. The new mRNA travels out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome

  9. Practice Write the complementary base sequence of the RNA molecule using DNA as a template. DNA =TAC ACC TTG AAG GGA CCC AGC CGC TTC ACT

  10. Answer: AUG UGG AAC UUC CCU GGG UCG GCG AAG UGA * Note Uracil(U) replaces Thymine (T) in RNA

  11. Translation • Translation is the process of making a protein from the information on the mRNA strand • Translation switches from the RNA “language” to the protein “language” • DNA base sequence is thereby “decoded”

  12. Translation • A ribosome attaches to the mRNA made during transcription. • The ribosome will read a 3-letter base sequence called a codon on the mRNA molecule. • Each codon on the mRNA codes for a specific amino acid (monomer of proteins)

  13. Translation • As the ribosome translates each codon, a molecule of tRNA (t = transfer) brings the complimentary anti-codon to the ribosome. • Each molecule of tRNA has the correct amino acid that is needed to complete the protein. 6. The codon on the mRNA and the anti-codon on the tRNA bond putting the amino acid into place.

  14. Translation • As the ribosome continues to translate the mRNA, a protein is simultaneously made. • Each amino acid is bonded to the next by a peptide bond forming the finished protein. • The finished protein is released when a stop codon is reached

  15. Practice Using the molecule of mRNA in your notes, write the corresponding tRNA

  16. Answers tRNA: UAC ACC UUG AAG GGA CCC AGC CGC UUC ACU

  17. Find the corresponding amino acids for each codon. *Use the codon chart in your notes…

  18. Answers Amino Acids: (start) tryptophan – asparagine – phenylalanine – proline – glycine – serine – alanine – lysine (stop)
