The Next Three Weeks: • Today: • Sanger Sequencing • Central Dogma Overview • Mutation • Unpacking Central Dogma • Transcription (Mar 28) • RNA Processing (Mar 28) • Translation (Mar 28 / Apr 2) [+ Sculpting] • Regulation of Gene Expression + Trivia (Apr 4) • Tutorial (Apr 5) • Review (Apr 9) • EXAM 3(Apr 11)
The Language of Genetics DNA Language vs. Protein Language Discuss: What does it mean to say that DNA is written in one language and Proteins are written in a different language?
DNA Language 3’ – GTGCA – 5’5’ – CACGT – 3’ The language of DNA is written in nucleotides.
Protein Language • A protein is a chain of amino acids.
Connecting the Languages Transcribing versus Translating • Transcribe means: to rewrite Transcription Example: 3 parts gravel, 2 parts sand, 1 part cement. 3 parts gravel, 2 parts sand, 1 part cement.
An Academic Transcript: A copy of your grades
Connecting the Languages Transcribing versus Translating • Transcribe means: to rewrite • Translating means: to change language Translation Example: 3 parts gravel, 2 parts sand, 1 part cement. 3 partes de grava, 2 partes de arena, 1 parte de cemento. 三石二砂一水泥
The Language of Genetics DNA Language vs. Protein Language • DNA is written in the language of nucleotides. • A message on DNA can be transcribed (copied) onto a piece of mRNA. • A message on mRNA can be translated into a chain of amino acids. • Proteins are written in the language of amino acids.
DNA mRNA Amino Acids • Transcribing: • Replace Thymine with Uracil. • Transcribe from the template strand.
DNA mRNA Amino Acids non -Template Strand 5’– CCACTGATAGACCTT –3’ 3’– GGTGACTATCTGGAA –5’ mRNA is made using the template strand… Template Strand
DNA mRNA Amino Acids non -Template Strand 5’– CCACTGATAGACCTT –3’ 3’– GGTGACTATCTGGAA –5’ 5’– CCACUGAUAGACCUU –3’ The mRNA sequence is nearly identical to the non-template strand. Transcribing… complete. Template Strand mRNA

Important Properties of the Code • It is redundant: All amino acids except two are encoded by more than one codon. • It is unambiguous: One codon never codes for more than one amino acid. • It is nearly universal: With a few minor exceptions, all codons specify the same amino acids in all organisms. • It is conservative: The first two bases are usually identical when multiple codons specify the same amino acid.
What’s a Mutation? A mutation is any permanent change in an organism’s DNA. Mutations result in new alleles!
Point Mutations • Point mutations occur when the DNA polymerase inserts the wrong base into the newly synthesized strand of DNA.
Point Mutations • Point mutations may be as a result of a substitution or an insertion/deletion and may be: • Silent mutations. • Does not change the amino acid sequence of the gene product. • Missensemutations. • Result in changes in the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein. • Nonsense mutations. • Results in a stop codon.
Describing a Mutation: Three Categories: • What happened? • Insertion, deletion, substitution. • What was the impact on the protein? • Missense, nonsense, silent • What was the reading frame? • Frameshift
Two Examples of mutation • Beach Mice (from the text) • Taste in peas
Fact Sheet: Peromyscuspolionotus • Common names: Beach Mouse or Old Field Mouse. • Location: Southeastern U.S.A. • Habitat: Sand burrows in dunes or old fields. • Home-range: ~1000 m2 • Breeding: Monogamous pair-bonding. Litters of 2-8 pups, every 30 days. • Lifespan: 9-12 months.
The mc1r Gene • The mc1r gene is located in Chromosome #16 in mammals. • It codes for the MC1R protein that aids in pigment synthesis.
