1 BIOLOGY 101 CHAPTER 16: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance: Life s Operating Instructions

2 Life s Operating Instructions CONCEPTS: 16.1 DNA is the genetic material 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.3 A chromosome consists of a DNA molecule packed together with proteins

3 Life s Operating Instructions 16.1 DNA is the genetic material Evidence That DNA Can Transform Bacteria The discovery of the genetic role of DNA began with research by Frederick Griffith in 1928

4 Life s Operating Instructions 16.1 DNA is the genetic material Evidence That DNA Can Transform Bacteria The discovery of the genetic role of DNA began with research by Frederick Griffith in 1928 Griffith worked with two strains of a bacterium, one pathogenic and one harmless

5 Life s Operating Instructions 16.1 DNA is the genetic material Evidence That DNA Can Transform Bacteria When Griffith mixed heat-killed remains of the pathogenic strain with living cells of the harmless strain, some living cells became pathogenic He called this phenomenon transformation, now defined as a change in genotype (phenotype) due to the assimilation of foreign DNA

6 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Experimental evidence established that DNA was the genetic material In 1944, Oswald Avery, Maclyn McCarty, and Colin MacLeod announced that the transforming substance was DNA o Many biologists remained skeptical, mainly because little was known about DNA

7 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data After DNA was accepted as the genetic material, the challenge was to determine how its structure accounts for its role in heredity Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin were using a technique called X-ray crystallography to study the molecular structure of DNA Franklin produced a picture of the DNA molecule using this technique

8 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data Franklin s X-ray crystallographic images of DNA enabled Watson to deduce that DNA was helical The X-ray images also enabled Watson to deduce the width of the helix and the spacing of the nitrogenous bases

9 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data Franklin s X-ray crystallographic images of DNA enabled Watson to deduce that DNA was helical The X-ray images also enabled Watson to deduce the width of the helix and the spacing of the nitrogenous bases The pattern in the photo suggested that the DNA molecule was made up of two strands, forming a double helix

10 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data Watson and Crick built models of a double helix to conform to the X-rays and chemistry of DNA o Watson built a model in which the backbones were antiparallel (their subunits run in opposite directions)

11 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data Watson and Crick built models of a double helix to conform to the X-rays and chemistry of DNA o Watson built a model in which the backbones were antiparallel (their subunits run in opposite directions) One end is the end, as the terminal phosphate is attached to the carbon of deoxyribose The other end is the end, as its terminus is a hydroxyl group on the carbon of deoxyribose

12 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data At first, Watson and Crick thought the bases paired like with like (A with A, and so on), but such pairings did not result in a uniform width Instead, pairing a purine with a pyrimidine resulted in a uniform width

13 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data At first, Watson and Crick thought the bases paired like with like (A with A, and so on), but such pairings did not result in a uniform width Instead, pairing a purine with a pyrimidine resulted in a uniform width consistent with the X-ray data

14 DNA is the genetic material 16.1 Watson and Crick discovered the double helix by building models to conform to X-ray data Watson and Crick reasoned that the pairing was more specific, dictated by the base structures They determined that adenine (A) paired only with thymine (T), and guanine (G) paired only with cytosine (C) The Watson-Crick model explains Chargaff s rules: in any organism the amount of A = T, and the amount of G = C

15 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair The relationship between structure and function is manifest in the double helix Watson and Crick noted that the specific base pairing suggested a possible copying mechanism for genetic material

16 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair The Basic Principle: Base Pairing to a Template Strand Watson and Crick s semiconservative model of replication predicts that when a double helix replicates, each daughter molecule will have one old strand (derived or conserved from the parent molecule) and one newly created strand

17 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair The Basic Principle: Base Pairing to a Template Strand Watson and Crick s semiconservative model of replication predicts that when a double helix replicates, each daughter molecule will have one old strand (derived or conserved from the parent molecule) and one newly created strand Competing models were the conservative model (the two parent strands rejoin) and the dispersive model (each strand is a mix of old and new)

18 DNA Replication The link below is to a video presentation (about 10 minutes) regarding DNA Replication. There is also a link below the lecture notes for this chapter. I believe this is a process that is much easier to understand if you have a good visual understanding of the processes. This is not additional information, just an alternative mechanism to learn about the processes. If you find this type of presentation useful, let me know, and I will try to provide more when appropriate. Link

19 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair The Basic Principle: Base Pairing to a Template Strand Since the two strands of DNA are complementary, each strand acts as a template for building a new strand in replication

20 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair The Basic Principle: Base Pairing to a Template Strand Since the two strands of DNA are complementary, each strand acts as a template for building a new strand in replication In DNA replication, the parent molecule unwinds, and two new daughter strands are built based on base-pairing rules

21 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair The Basic Principle: Base Pairing to a Template Strand Since the two strands of DNA are complementary, each strand acts as a template for building a new strand in replication In DNA replication, the parent molecule unwinds, and two new daughter strands are built based on base-pairing rules This results in 2 new strands, half of each strand is new, and half is old

22 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction

23 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction This results in 2 new DNA strands

24 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction This results in 2 new DNA strands

25 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction o This results in 2 new DNA strands Because the synthesis of BOTH new strands must progress in a single direction

26 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction o This results in 2 new DNA strands Because the synthesis of BOTH new strands must progress in a single direction, one strand must be synthesized in short fragments

27 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction o This results in 2 new DNA strands Because the synthesis of BOTH new strands must progress in a single direction, one strand must be synthesized in short fragments

30 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction o This results in 2 new DNA strands Because the synthesis of BOTH new strands must progress in a single direction, one strand must be synthesized in short fragments that must later be joined into a single strand

31 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: Two parental strands are separated But, new complementary strands can only be synthesized in a to direction o This results in 2 new DNA strands Because the synthesis of BOTH new strands must progress in a single direction, one strand must be synthesized in short fragments that must later be joined into a single strand

32 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: The strand that is synthesized as a single strand is called the leading strand The strand that is synthesized in short fragments is called the lagging strand o The short fragments are called Okazaki Fragments o The Okazaki Fragments are joined together into a single strand o This allows DNA replication to progress in a single direction

33 Life s Operating Instructions 16.2 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair New Complimentary Strands are added in a Direction: The strand that is synthesized as a single strand is called the leading strand The strand that is synthesized in short fragments is called the lagging strand o The short fragments are called Okazaki Fragments o o The Okazaki Fragments are joined together into a single strand This allows DNA replication to progress in a single direction

34 DNA Replication begins at a number of different Origins of Replication (OR)

35 DNA strands are separated at the OR, exposing nucleotides that DNA Polymerase can pair with complementary nucleotides

36 DNA strands are separated at the OR, exposing nucleotides that DNA Polymerase can pair with complementary nucleotides

37 DNA strands are separated at the OR, exposing nucleotides that DNA Polymerase can pair with complementary nucleotides

38 DNA strands are separated at the OR, exposing nucleotides that DNA Polymerase can pair with complementary nucleotides

39 DNA Polymerases begin adding complementary nucleotides in a Direction

40 DNA Replication progresses in both directions, away from the Origin of Replication DNA Polymerases begin adding complementary nucleotides in a Direction

41

42 DNA synthesized as a continuous strand are the Leading Strands DNA synthesized as short Okazaki Fragments are the Lagging Strands

43 The Okazaki Fragments are synthesized in a direction as DNA Polymerases move away from the Origin of Replication

44

45 Replication Fork DNA Polymerases move toward Replication Forks as they move away from the Origin of Replication Replication Fork

51 DNA Ligase is an enzyme that joins the Okazaki Fragments into a single continuous strand

52

53

54 DNA Polymerases continue synthesizing DNA as they move further into the Replication Forks

55 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 A large team of enzymes and other proteins carries out DNA replication At the end of each replication bubble is a replication fork, a Y-shaped region where new DNA strands are elongating Helicases are enzymes that untwist the double helix at the replication forks Single-strand binding proteins bind to and stabilize single-stranded DNA Topoisomerase corrects over winding ahead of replication forks by breaking, swiveling, and rejoining DNA strands

56 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 A large team of enzymes and other proteins carries out DNA replication DNA polymerases cannot initiate synthesis of a polynucleotide; they can only add nucleotides to an existing 3 end The initial nucleotide strand is a short RNA primer An enzyme called primase can start an RNA chain from scratch and adds RNA nucleotides one at a time using the parental DNA as a template The primer is short (5 10 nucleotides long), and the 3 end serves as the starting point for the new DNA strand

57 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 A large team of enzymes and other proteins carries out DNA replication Enzymes called DNA polymerases catalyze the elongation of new DNA at a replication fork o o Most DNA polymerases require a primer and a DNA template strand The rate of elongation is about 500 nucleotides per second in bacteria and 50 per second in human cells Each nucleotide that is added to a growing DNA strand is a nucleoside triphosphate

58 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 A large team of enzymes and other proteins carries out DNA replication Summary of DNA Replication Molecules

59 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 A large team of enzymes and other proteins carries out DNA replication Summary of DNA Replication Molecules The proteins that participate in DNA replication form a large complex, a DNA replication machine

60 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 Enzymes proofread DNA during its replication and repair damage in existing DNA DNA polymerases proofread newly made DNA, replacing any incorrect nucleotides In mismatch errors of DNA, repair enzymes correct errors in base pairing o DNA can be damaged by exposure to harmful chemical or physical agents such as cigarette smoke and X-rays; it can also undergo spontaneous changes In nucleotide excision repair, a nuclease cuts out and replaces damaged stretches of DNA

63 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 The ends of DNA molecules are replicated by a special mechanism Limitations of DNA polymerase create problems for the linear DNA of eukaryotic chromosomes The usual replication machinery provides no way to complete the 5 ends, so repeated rounds of replication produce shorter DNA molecules with uneven ends This is not a problem for prokaryotes, most of which have circular chromosomes

64 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 The ends of DNA molecules are replicated by a special mechanism Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecules have special nucleotide sequences at their ends called telomeres Telomeres do not prevent the shortening of DNA molecules, but they do postpone the erosion of genes near the ends of DNA molecules o It has been proposed that the shortening of telomeres is connected to aging If chromosomes of germ cells became shorter in every cell cycle, essential genes would eventually be missing from the gametes they produce An enzyme called telomerase catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres in germ cells

65 Many proteins work together in DNA replication and repair 16.2 The ends of DNA molecules are replicated by a special mechanism The shortening of telomeres might protect cells from cancerous growth by limiting the number of cell divisions There is evidence of telomerase activity in cancer cells, which may allow cancer cells to persist
