3 Dec • Opener: • What does DNA actually do? • Agenda: • Intro Unit 5 • Transcription Notes • Transcription Drawing • Bioflix • Homework: • 4.13 + GQs • Participation Quiz Tomorrow
TranscriptionMaking a Messenger • The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to a gene on a DNA strand (at the promoter site) and opens up the double helix
TranscriptionMaking a Messenger • RNA polymerase moves along the exposed DNA strand, adding complementary RNA nucleotides which form the messenger RNA
TranscriptionMaking a Messenger DNA • As the messenger RNA is assembled, it separates from the DNA template strand pre-mRNA
TranscriptionMaking a Messenger • When the RNA polymerase arrives at stop sequence at end of gene, the messenger RNA strand is released
Post-transcription processing • The pre-mRNA isn’t ready to leave the nucleus, yet… • The cell needs to: • Cut out introns • Add cap and tail
intron = noncoding (inbetween) sequence exon = coding (expressed) sequence There’s junk in those genes! • The pre-mRNA needs to have the junk cut out • exons = the real gene • expressed / coding DNA • introns = the junk • in-between sequence Pre-mRNA
3' poly-A tail 3' A A A A A mRNA 50-250 A’s 5' cap P P P 5' G More post-transcriptional processing • Need to protect mRNA on its trip from nucleus to cytoplasm • enzymes in cytoplasm attack mRNA • protect the ends of the molecule • add GTP cap • add poly-A tail • longer tail, mRNA lasts longer: produces more protein
…now the mature mRNA is ready to leave the nucleus and go to a ribosome for translation
Transcription Diagram • Nucleus • DNA • RNA polymerase • RNA nucleotides • pre-mRNA • Introns • Exons • Cap • Tail • Mature mRNA Draw a picture of a cell going through the steps of transcription. Make sure to include/label the following:
4 Dec • Opener: • Take out a half sheet of paper for the quiz • Agenda • Participation Quiz • Translation details • Homework: • Read 5.5, 5.6, 5.8 + Guided Reading Questions
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain Key Players: Ribosomes- • Organelles where proteins are manufactured • Consists of two subunits • Some attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum, others bound to cytoskeletal fibers
TranslationAssembling the protein chain Key player: tRNA- Transports amino acids to the ribosome
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 1. Messenger RNA attaches to the smaller subunit of the ribosome
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 2. The first transfer RNA matches the messenger RNA’s first three nucleotides
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 3. The larger ribosome subunit joins with the smaller subunit
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 4. The second transfer RNA the second dock on the messenger RNA
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 5. The backbones of the first two amino acid link
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 6. The messenger RNA shifts to the right and the first transfer RNA drops off
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 7. The next transfer RNA arrives to add the next amino acid
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 8. One by one, triplets are read and the protein chain grows
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 9. The final triplet signals “stop”. No transfer RNA fits here.
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 10. The ribosome separates and drops off the messenger RNA
TranslationAssembling the Protein Chain 11. For efficiency, the messenger RNA is read by more than one ribosome simultaneously
6 Dec • Opener: • Take out a half sheet of paper for the quiz • Agenda • Finish Text Questions • Participation Quiz • Protein Synthesis Activity 1 • Protein Synthesis Activity 2 • Transcription/Translation Drawing • Homework: • None

Natural selection Charles Darwin Where does the Variation come from? There is heritable variation within populations More offspring are born than can survive Leads to a competition for limited resources Differential survival based on adaptation
Mutations can be… • Harmful • Change in amino acid sequence different protein • Can lead to disease, death • Neutral • Mutation doesn’t change amino acid • Mutation occurs in a section of DNA that does not code for a protein (approx. 95%) • Beneficial • Mutation causes a change that makes the offspring better adapted for survival • Polar bear • Sickle cell disease
10 Dec • Opener: • Can you tell me an example of a harmless mutation? • Agenda • Review Mutations • Epigenetics • Lick rats • Homework
Epigenome at a glance • http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/intro/
Epigenetics • Modifications to DNA that do not change genes or DNA sequence. • These changes turn gene expression “on” or “off” • What does it mean to turn on a gene? • http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/epigenetics/control/
Epigenetics Attaches to DNA- Blocks RNA polymerase from binding Turns genes “off” Loosens tightly coiled DNA. Allows access to DNA for transcription Turns genes “on”
