DNADNA

•DNA contains genes, sequences of nucleotide bases

•These Genes code for polypeptides (proteins)

•Proteins are used to build cells and do much of the work inside cells

Genes & ProteinsGenes & Proteins

Proteins are made of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds

20 different amino acids exist

PolypeptidesPolypeptides

•Amino acid chains are called polypeptides

DNA Begins the DNA Begins the ProcessProcess

• DNA is found inside the nucleus

• Proteins, however, are made in the cytoplasm of cells by organelles called ribosomes

• Ribosomes may be free in the cytosol or attached to the surface of rough ER

The Genetic Code

• A codon designates an amino acid

• An amino acid may have more than one codon

• There are 20 amino acids, but 64 possible codons

• Some codons tell the ribosome to stop translating

24

The Genetic Code

•Use the code by reading from the center to the outside•Example: AUG codes for Methionine

• During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands

• RNA Polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into RNA

47

TranscriptionTranscription• Promoters are regions on

DNA that show where RNA Polymerase must bind to begin the Transcription of RNA

• Called the TATA box• Specific base sequences act

as signals to stop• Called the termination signal

48

RNA PolymeraseRNA Polymerase

49

mRNA ProcessingmRNA Processing

• After the DNA is transcribed into RNA, editing must be done to the nucleotide chain to make the RNA functional

• Introns, non-functional segments of DNA are snipped out of the chain

50

mRNA EditingmRNA Editing• Exons, segments of DNA that code for proteins, are then rejoined by the

enzyme ligase• A guanine triphosphate cap is added to the 5” end of the newly copied mRNA• A poly A tail is added to the 3’ end of the RNA• The newly processed mRNA can then leave the nucleus

52

mRNA Transcript

•mRNA leaves the nucleus through its pores and goes to the ribosomes

53


•Translation is the process of decoding the mRNA into a polypeptide chain

•Ribosomes read mRNA three bases or 1 codon at a time and construct the proteins
