Business • Quiz grading? • Some answers that were meant to be partial credit, were marked “all or nothing”, • If this happened to you, drop off suspect quizzes in my mailbox in room 315. • I’ll post all grades (as well as extra credit) Week 10 (Friday).
Seminar Wednesday, June 5, Biology 212, 4 pm " Mining the Human Genome Using Protein Structure Homology ", Randall Ketchem, Immunex Corporation. 5 points for attendance, 1-5 points each person for good questions during the Q/A period after the talk.
This Week • Chapters 9, 10.1 and 10.4 - 10.7 for reference, • exam material will be on lecture content for the above, • sample questions, and questions for these chapters are posted. • Exam Friday: Assignments in Chapters 6, 11, 8, 9 and 10. All lecture material.
RNA can be Autocatalytic • Group I and Group II introns, • found in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and sometimes in bacteria,
Spliceosomes ... small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs): • RNA molecules that act as catalysts in spliceosomes, • catalytic RNAs that have probably evolved from ancient RNA enzymes (ribozymes). …work in concert with > 50 proteins to facilitate intron identification and removal, • snRNPs: RNA/Potein structures.
Psuedouradine (y) U1 and U2 U1 binds to the 5’ exon/intron junction. U2 binds to the adenosine at the branch site. Think about the required specificity for intron identification in cells.
…complicated biochemistry, lots of sub-units. Polyadenylation AAUAA: concensus poly-A recognition site.
Alternate mRNA Processing …recognition of different poly-A sites. …alternate splicing.
Complexity Calcitonin gene.
replication Central Dogma DNA transcription RNA (alternately processed) translation Protein ?
Genome Transcriptome Proteome Expanded Central Dogma • Genome... the dynamic complement of genetic material in an individual, • Transcriptome... mRNA component in an individual, • complexity increases resulting from transcription control and transcription and post-transcription modification, • Proteome... the protein component of an individual, • complexity increases due to post-translational modification, protein-protein interactions, etc.
Translation …the synthesis of a polypeptide. This occurs on ribosomes using the information encoded on mRNA, • tRNA molecules mediate the transfer of information between mRNA and the growing polypeptide.
Initiation “el”: elongation factors. Recent reports of “alternate” translation start sites indicate that further complexity in protein production amy occr at the translational level.
amino acid attachment site: each amino acid has specific tRNA(s), anti-codon: site of interaction with the mRNA template. tRNA
tRNA secondary structure ‘reveals’ a three base pair structure on one end, The ‘Ends’ to the Means Specific anti-codons for specific amino acid designation. “anti” = complementary
Ribosomes …a supramolecular complex of rRNA and proteins, approximately 18 - 22 nm in diameter, …the site of protein synthesis,
E site (exit): uncharged tRNAs are discharged from here. A site (amino acyl): binds the tRNA that holds the next amino acid, P site (peptidyl): binds the tRNA that holds the growing polypeptide. Structure/Function
small sub-unit and a charged Met-tRNA (methionine) forms the initiation complex, large sub-unit binds the complex, P site associates with the Met-tRNA. Initiation
1. recognition: tRNA anti-codon matches RNA codon, (uncharged tRNA exits) leaves open A site, cycle repeats. 2. amino acid(s) from P site tRNA transfered to the new tRNA, peptide bond formed, 3. translocation, tRNAs shift, mRNA shifts 1 codon, Elongation (3 steps)
hydrolysis reaction Peptide Linkage
stop codon attracts a protein release factor, hydrolysis of last tRNA/amino acid yields terminal carboxyl group, ribosome disassembles. Termination
N-Terminus --> C-Terminus ...polypeptides are synthesized beginning from the N-terminus (amino terminus) and going to the C-terminus (carboxy terminus), …this corresponds to the 5’-3’DNA Coding sequence.
After the Exam • Functional Genomics; • finish reading Chapter 11, • More Chapters - or - Jeff’s Journal Club?
If Jeff’s Journal Club? • Final: 2 of the following 3 choices, • 1 hour exam covering recent materials, • 2 page review of an assigned paper, • Self-study of a remaining chapter in the text, answers to the “odd” problems.
If not Jeff’s Journal Club? • Chapter 11 and 12, plus Lectures (mostly Lectures), • Final (2 hours): • 1 hour covering recent materials, • 1 hour of integrative questions.
