Gene Transcription and translation Reading in Chapter 15
Types of RNA involved in gene expression • rRNA ribosomal-RNA • tRNA transfer-RNA • mRNA messenger-RNA • Small RNAs Cell and Organismal Biology
Ribosomes translate mRNA sequence into protein sequence Cell and Organismal Biology
Eukaryotic ribosome structure • 2 subunits • Large • 3 rRNA molecules (120,4700,160 bases) • 49 proteins • Small • 1 rRNA molecule (1900 bases) • 33 proteins Cell and Organismal Biology
The Genetic code-reading frame alterations show that the bases are read in groups of three. Francis CrickPart one • Unpunctuated- read in groups of three bases • WHYDIDTHEREDBATEATTHEFATRAT • WHY DID THE RED BAT EAT THE FAT RAT • Unpunctuated-insert one base • WHYDIDTTHEREDBATEATTHEFATRAT • WHY DID TTH ERE DBA TEA TTH EFA TRA T Cell and Organismal Biology
The Genetic code-reading frame alterations show that the bases are read in groups of three.Part Deux. • Unpunctuated-insert two bases • WHYDIDTTTHEREDBATEATTHEFATRAT • WHY DID TTT HER EDB ATE ATT HEF ATR AT • Unpunctuated-insert three bases • WHYDIDTTTTHEREDBATEATTHEFATRAT • WHY DID TTT THE RED BAT EAT THE FAT RAT • Similar results from base deletion Cell and Organismal Biology
Marshall Nierenberg/Gobind Khorana • Tested all possible mRNA triplet combinations of 4 bases (64) • Codons • Poly-UUU resulted in the production of poly-phenylalanine • Code is practically universal Cell and Organismal Biology
mRNA reading-frame alterations affect translation • UAU UGC AUC CUC AAG CCG UGA • Tyr-Cys-Iso-Leu-Lys-Pro-Stop • UAU UGC AAU CCU CAA GCC GUG A • Tyr-Cys-Asp-Pro-Pro-Ala-Val- • UAU UGC AAA UCC UCA AGC CGU GA • Tyr-Cys-Lys-Ser-Ser-Ser-Arg- • UAU UGC AAA AUC CUC AAG CCG UGA • Try-Cys-Lys-Iso-Leu-Lys-Pro-Stop Cell and Organismal Biology

GC Hairpin stops gene transcription Cell and Organismal Biology
mRNA is processed after transcription in eucaryotes. • 1.5% of DNA is in exons • 24% is in non-coding introns • Rest is non-coding intervening sequence (junk) • 5’ cap • protection • 3’poly-A tail • transport Cell and Organismal Biology
Error in text • Page 309. In paragraph that has the bold word “spliceosome” Top right on page. • Sentence reading “Cutting the DNA at these sites…..” should read • “cutting the RNA at these sites….” Cell and Organismal Biology
