Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 12DNA & RNA Section 12-3RNA & Protein Synthesis

  2. Types of RNA RNA Used For Protein Synthesis Three Types of RNA Messenger RNA, mRNA Ribosomal RNA, rRNA Transfer RNA, tRNA

  3. Types of RNA mRNA Template to construct protein. It brings the message from the DNA to the ribosome. rRNA Part of ribosome structure tRNA Transports amino acids from cytoplasm to the ribosomes

  4. Transcription The process of copying part of the DNA nucleotide sequence into a complementary sequence of RNA

  5. Transcription Requires the enzyme RNA Polymerase Step 1. RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands. Step 2.RNA Polymerase uses one strand of DNA as a template to polymerize nucleotides into RNA

  6. RNA Editing After Making mRNA Introns Are Snipped Out Exons Remain, (active segments of nucleotides)

  7. The Genetic Code Proteins are long chains of amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids The order of amino acids in the protein determine its shape and function

  8. The Genetic Code There are 20 amino acids but only 4 bases in RNA Adenine A Cytosine C Guanine G Uracil U

  9. The Genetic Code The genetic code consists of “words” three bases long Each “word” is called a Codon: three consecutive nucleotides that specifies a single amino acid

  10. The Genetic Code For Example: UCGCACGGU = RNA Sequence UCG-CAC-GGU = Codons UCG codes for Serine CAC codes for Histidine GGU codes for Glycine

  11. Code Wheel

  12. The Genetic Code 4 Bases Codons Defined with 3 Bases There Are 64 Possible 3-base codons Since there are only 20 amino acids, some amino acids are represented by multiple codons

  13. Translation Translation is the process of of decoding the mRNA into a polypeptide chain • Ribosomes • Read mRNA and construct the proteins

  14. Translation Step 1 • mRNA leaves the Nucleus

  15. Translation Step 2 • mRNA binds to the ribosome. tRNA attaches • Anticodons on the tRNA line up with codons on mRNA The other end of the tRNA is an amino acid

  16. Translation Step 3 • Ribosome connects the amino acids together as they come into the ribosome

  17. Translation • Step 4 • A polypeptide (Chain of Amino Acids) is formed. • Polypeptide chain grows until the mRNA STOP Codon is reached

  18. The Roles of RNA & DNA DNA = Master Plan RNA = Blueprints of the Master Plan

  19. Proteins • At the end of translation a protein is formed. • Proteins are enzymes that catalyze and regulate chemical reactions • Proteins can also be structural.
