  1. How Proteins are Made

  2. How RNA differs from DNA 1st- RNA consists of a single strand of nucleotidesinstead of the 2 strands found in DNA RNA DNA

  3. How RNA differs from DNA 2nd- RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose rather than the sugar deoxyribosefound in DNA One less Oxygen

  4. How RNA differs from DNA 3rd- RNA has A, C, G, and U- Uracil (U bonds with A because no T in RNA) Example: DNA ATGCATCG RNA UACGUAGC

  5. Transcription and Translation • The instruction for making a protein are transferredfrom a gene to an RNA molecule in a process called transcription.

  6. Transcription and Translation Cells then use 2 different types of RNA to read the instructions on the RNA molecule and put together the amino acids that make up the protein in a process called translation.

  7. Transcription: Making RNA Step 1: Transcription begins when RNA polymerases bind to the gene’s promoter (a specific sequence of DNA that acts as a “start” signal for transcription.

  8. Transcription: Making RNA • Step 2: RNA polymerases then unwind and separate the 2 strands of the double helix, exposing the DNA nucleotides on each strand.

  9. Transcription: Making RNA • Step 3: RNA polymerase addsand then links complementary RNA nucleotides as it “reads” the gene.

  10. Transcription Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a form of RNA that carries the instructions for making a protein from a gene and delivers it to the site of translation.

  11. Transcripton & Codons • The RNA instructions are written as a series of three-nucleotide sequences on the mRNA called codons. • Example: UAU UGU AGG Codes for: Tyrosine Cysteine Arginine ****See Codon Chart on page 211, figure 4

  14. ****TAKS QUESTIONS**** What is the maximum number of amino acids that could be coded for by a section of mRNA with the sequence GUCCAGAACUGU? A. 3 B. 4 C. 6 D. 12

  15. ****TAKS QUESTIONS**** If a codon reads UGU, what is its anticodon? A. TCT B. AGA D. ACA C. UGU

  16. ****TAKS QUESTIONS**** What is the name of the amino acid coded by AGU? (See figure 4, page 211) ___________________ Serine

  17. Translation: Assembling Proteins • Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are single strands of RNA that temporarily carry a specific amino acid on one end.

  18. Translation: Assembling Proteins • An anticodon is a three-nucleotide sequence on a tRNA that is complementary to an mRNA codon.

  19. Translation: Assembling Proteins • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules are RNA molecules that are part of the structure of ribosomes.

  20. Steps of Translation • Step 1: The ribosomal subunits, the mRNA, and the tRNA carrying methionine bind together. • Step 2: The tRNA carrying the amino acid specified by the codon in the A site arrives.

  21. Steps of Translation • Step 3: A peptide bond forms between adjacent amino acids. • Step 4: The tRNA in the P site detaches and leaves its amino acid behind.

  22. Steps of Translation • Step 5: The tRNA in the A site moves to the P site, the tRNA carrying the amino acid specified by the codon in the A site arrives. • Step 6: A peptide bond is formed. The tRNA in the P site detaches and leaves its amino acid behind.

  23. Steps of Translation • Step 7: The process is repeated until a stop codon is reached. The ribosomes complex falls apart. The newly made protein is released.

  24. Section 2: Gene Regulation and Structure • In eukaryotes, many genes are interrupted by introns (long segments of nucleotides that have no coding information.

  25. Section 2: Gene Regulation and Structure • Exons are the portions of a gene that are translated (expressed) into proteins.

  26. Section 2: Gene Regulation and Structure The exons that remain are “stitched” back together by the spliceosomes to form a smaller mRNA molecule that is then translated.
