Pōʻalima 10.12.12 • DNA to Protein
Näÿana Determine what is wrong with the picture.
Transcription and Translation 10.6-10.15
Big Picture DNA → RNA → Protein
How does a gene become a protein? Two parts: Transcription Converting DNA into RNA Translation Converting RNA into amino acids/proteins
Transcription • Convert DNA to mRNA • Uses RNA Polymerase (moves 5’ 3’ direction) • Promoter: starts transcription. • Terminator: Ends transcription
RNA Splicing • Process of cutting out segments not needed. • Introns: not expressed • Exons: expressed
Transcription If DNA sequence is AGCGTGCCA DNA sequence mRNA sequence UCGCACGGU
Translation mRNA leaves nucleus Binds with ribosome Makes a chain of amino acids
Translation tRNA “reads” mRNA sequence 3 letters at a time Codon = 3 mRNA nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid
Genetic Code Third letter
Translation mRNA sequence: UCGCACGGU Amino acid sequence: The amino acids will form a protein Serine – Histidine – Glycine
Example • Convert the following DNA sequence to mRNA then to amino acid chain. GTAGCAATG
