Transcription

1 Biomolecules: lecture 6 - to learn the basics on how DNA serves to make RNA = transcription - to learn how the genetic code instructs protein synthesis - to learn the basics on how proteins are synthesized = translation - to make friends with the biomolecules involved in these

2

3 - DNA replication reaction:

4 Transcription Translation DNA mrna protein mrna processing Amino acids Ribosomes Amino acid-specific transfer RNA s Folding & post-translational processing & trafficking

5 Translation = protein synthesis in nutshell: 20 different amino acids + lähetti-rna ribosomaalista RNA:ta osana ribosomin rakennetta over 20 different transfer RNA s (at least one for each amino acid) siirtäjä-rna Voet & Voet, Biochemistry, 4th edition

6 nucleus cytosol

7 - there are 3 polynucleotide strands relevant in transcription: the 2 strands in double helical DNA, and the one RNA strand to be synthesized as the template for protein synthesis coding DNA = koodaava nauha >> the strand, whose sequence will be copied sense template DNA = mallinauha >>the strand, which is actually used in the copying antisense mrna = messenger RNA = lähetti-rna >> a copy of the coding strand sense

8

9 - the transcription start place (initiation) in the gene: the promoter (promootteri) - E. coli promoters for different E. coli genes are very similar, and can be recognized box and -10 box - RNA polymerase binding site! operon = gene(s) under the control of one promoter

10 - prokaryotic and eukaryotic promoters are different

11 - a stem-loop structure, which will form in the mrna, terminates transcription Please notice how/why the stem loop can form!

12 Three types of RNA relevant in translation Messenger (mrna) - Template for protein synthesis lähetti - up to 5000 nucleotides long Ribosomal (rrna) ribosomaalinen - Structural component of ribosomes -120 to 3,700 nucleotides long Transfer (trna) siirtäjä - Carries amino acid to ribosome, decoder - around 75 nucleotides long - there are also additional RNA species in cells (but more of them on later courses)

13 The various RNA molecules relevant in protein synthesis ribosomal RNA structural component of ribosomes messenger RNA contains the information from DNA interface view of H. marismortui 50S ribosomal subunit. RNA is in gray and various proteins in other colors. Note the amount of RNA. Voet & Voet, Biochemistry, 4th edition transfer RNA brings the amino acid to the ribosome

14 Why Uracil in RNA and Thymine in DNA? O N NH 2 O H N O H N H H Deamination H N H H CYTOSINE (C) URACIL (U) Uracil base pairs with adenine not guanine => this reaction is mutagenic. Repair system recognises uracil as foreign to DNA

15 mrna gets modified after transcription

16 Intron-splicing intron = non-coding sequence of DNA in-between coding regions in eukaryotic genes splicing (silmukointi) = removal of introns to create a mature mrna

17 also trna gets modified after transcription

18 Translation a codon triplet an amino acid

19 Each amino acid is coded for by three bases (codon) Why three? There are 4 different bases and twenty different amino acids 1 base code => 4 combinations 2 base code => 4 2 = 16 combinations 3 base code => 4 3 = 64 combinations There are specific codons for starting translation: AUG stopping translation: UAG UGA UAA The code is degenerate i.e. there is more than one codon per amino acid The genetic code is nearly universal for animals, plants and bacteria

27 The universal genetic code is not really universal Codon Standard Mitochondrial UGA Stop Trp AUA Ile Met AGA Arg Stop AGG Arg Stop - the genetic code is, however, almost universal - mrna of one species can be translated by the protein synthesis machinery of another species What does the last fact immediately suggests?

28 Ribosomes Ribosome Small subunit Large subunit Sedimentation coefficient 70S 30S 50S Mass (kd) RNA 16S, 1542 nucleotides 23S, 2904 nucleotides 5S, 120 nucleotides RNA mass (kd) Proportion of mass 66% 60% 70% Number of proteins Protein mass (kd) Data from E.coli.

31 Translation = protein synthesis in nutshell: 20 different amino acids + over 20 different transfer RNA s (at least one for each amino acid) Voet & Voet, Biochemistry, 4th edition

32 - mrna exits from the nucleus to the cytoplasm - ribosomes read the mrna code and synthesize the protein - protein folds (laskostuu) into an active form

33 Charging of a trna with an amino acid. This reaction is catalysed by an aminoacyl trna sythetase
