  1. DRILL #16 Quote: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." -- Unknown Agenda: Pedigree Overview Protein Synthesis Warm-up: Patrick met Patti at the dance. Both of them are heterozygous for their pink body color, which is dominant over a yellow body color. Create a Punnett square to show the possibilities that would result if Patrick and Patti had children.

  3. Protein Synthesis

  4. The Link Between Genes and Proteins Slide # 2 • A gene is a portion of DNA that codes for a protein that controls a trait. • Two types of proteins • Structural proteins: determine how we look • EX: Hair & skin pigments; ear lobe shape • Enzymes: determine how we function • Control every chemical reaction in the body • EX: Sucrase breaks down sucrose (table sugar) • 3. DNA (gene)  Protein Trait Detached ear lobes Attached ear lobes

  5. Slide # 3 Overview of RNA and Protein Synthesis • Sequence (order) of nitrogen bases of a gene determines the genetic instructions or “genetic code” of an organism. • DNA NEVER leaves the nucleus, but the code (gene) must be read so that proteins can be made. • RNA makes a copy of DNA code of a gene. • One strand of the DNA code is copied by RNA • RNA carries the copied code out of the nucleus to the ribosome. • The ribosome “reads” the code & makes the protein. DNA code

  6. Slide # 4 Comparison of DNA and RNA Nucleotides Structure of RNA Nucleotide • Structure of DNA Nucleotide Nitrogen Bases: adenine, uracil, guanine, & cytosine Nitrogen Bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, & cytosine

  7. Comparison of DNA and RNA Slide # 5 • 3 Main differences between DNA & RNA • Sugar: • DNA: Deoxyribose • RNA: Ribose • Nitrogen Bases: • DNA: A, T, C, G • RNA: A, U, C, G • U = uracil • Number of strands that make up the molecule: • DNA: two strands • RNA: one strand DNA RNA

  8. Types of RNA Slide # 6 mRNA • Messenger RNA = mRNA • Copies instructions from DNA code; carries code out of nucleus to ribosome • 2. Ribosomal RNA = rRNA • Ribosomes are made of protein and RNA • 3. Transfer RNA = tRNA • Carries and transfers a specific amino acid to the amino acid chain assembled by the ribosome • T-shape rRNA tRNA

  9. How Proteins are Made: Protein Synthesis Slide # 7 Step 1: Transcription • Transcription: a single strand of mRNA is copied from DNA in the nucleus • DNA unwinds – sides of ladder separate • An enzyme (RNA polymerase) “reads” DNA bases and makes the RNA strand • If DNA is TACCAGTTT • mRNA will be AUGGUCAAA c. mRNA is removed and DNA strands will join & coil

  10. How Proteins are Made: Protein Synthesis Slide # 8 Step 2: mRNA editing • mRNA editing: cutting and splicing mRNA before it leaves the nucleus • Introns- (intruders--“junk DNA” ) are cut out • Exons- “good DNA” are left • Exons are spliced together to create an edited version of RNA • Edited mRNA is sent out of nucleus to ribosome Introns are removed and exons are spliced together. This is the message that is translated.

  11. How Proteins are Made: Protein Synthesis Slide # 9 Step 3: Translation • How the code is read: • Every 3 bases on mRNA represents a code for an amino acid (building block of protein) • Every 3 bases on mRNA is called a codon. • Amino acids are abbreviated most times by using the first 3 letters of the amino acid’s name. • Met = methonine • Leu = leucine

  12. Reading the Codon Chart Slide # 10 Examples: AUG = Methionine CAU = Histidine UAG = Stop First Position Third Position Try these: GCU: UAC: CUG: UUA: Answers: Alanine Tyrosine Leucine Leucine This chart only works for mRNA codons.

  13. How Proteins are Made: Protein Synthesis Slide # 11 Step 3: Translation • Edited mRNA is sent out of nucleus to ribosome • Ribosome reads the codons on mRNA • Codon on mRNA specifies which tRNA brings in the designated amino acid • Notice the anticodon on tRNA • Anticodon “reads” the codon on mRNA • Ribosome joins the amino acids together with chemical bonds called peptide bonds to build an amino acid chain called a “polypeptide” • DNA (gene) RNA  Protein Trait

  14.  Translation Slide # 12 Nucleus mRNA  Lysine Phenylalanine t RNA Methionine  Anticodon Ribosome mRNA  Start codon
