1 RNA Section 3.1
2 What is RNA? Another type of nucleic acid A working copy of DNA Does not matter if it is damaged or destroyed Used to direct the production of proteins that determines an organisms characteristics
3 What are the differences between RNA and DNA? There are 3 key differences 1) sugar is Ribose rather than De-oxy ribose 2) RNA is generally single stranded 3) RNA contains Uracil rather than Thymine Chemical differences make it easier for a cell to distinguish between RNA and DNA
4 Functions of RNA Main function protein synthesis Controls assembly of amino acids into proteins 3 types of RNA Messenger RNA Carry information from the DNA to other parts of the cell Ribosomal RNA Ribosomes are made of ribosomal RNA and proteins Transfer RNA Transfers amino acids to the ribosome as/when they are needed
5 RNA synthesis Transcription Segments of DNA serve as template to produce complementary RNA molecules Prokaryotes RNA synthesis and Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm Eukaryotes RNA produced in the nucleus Transcription occurs in the cytoplasm The enzyme RNA polymerase controls transcription One gene can produce hundreds or thousands of RNA molecules
6 Promoters RNA polymerase will only bind to areas of DNA where a promoter is present Promoter = region of RNA that has specific base sequences Similar signals cause transcription to stop
7 RNA editing RNA needs a bit of tweaking before it can be put into action Chunks are cut out of them and discarded introns In eukaryotes, introns are taken out of pre-mrna molecules whilst they are in the nucleus What is left exons, are spliced back together to form the final mrna
8 Why does RNA polymerase make more than it needs? Scientists still aren t sure Some pre-mrna molecules may be cut/spliced in different ways in different tissues so a single gene can produce several forms of RNA Intron and Exons may play a role in evolution Small changes in DNA sequences can have a large effect on how genes affect cellular function
9 Summary RNA is a working copy of the DNA Made from small sections of DNA (transcription) RNA polymerase Promoters indicate which part of DNA to use Three key types of RNA Messenger Ribosomal Transfer More is made than needed Introns discarded Exons kept
10 Ribosomes and protein synthesis Section 13.2
11 The genetic code Step one - copy DNA to produce RNA RNA contains instructions on how to make proteins Proteins are chains of amino acids called polypeptides Up to 20 different amino acids are commonly found in polypeptides Specific amino acids and their arrangement determine properties of different proteins Amino acid arrangement influences shape, which determines proteins function
12 The genetic code continued RNA contains four different bases Essentially a language with 4 letters Genetic code is read three letters at a time Each word is three bases long and corresponds to an amino acid In mrna, each three letter word is a codon Three consecutive bases that specify a single amino acid
13 Reading codons There are 64 possible three base combinations in RNA Due to the 4 different bases Most amino acids can be specified by more than one codon Leucine is coded by 6 different codons.. Genetic code table makes decoding codons easy
14 Start and Stop codons These are essentially punctuation marks in the genetic code Methionine codon serves as the initiation or start codon for protein synthesis After this point, the mrna is read three bases at a time There are 3 different stop codons which mark the end of polypeptide formation
15 Translation Why are ribosomes so important? mrna = instruction manual Ribosome reads the instruction manual and assembles the parts together The assembly process performed by ribosomes is called translation
16 Translation overview
17 Steps of translation Step 1: Ribosome attaches to mrna molecule in the cytoplasm Step 2: As each codon passes through the ribosome, trna brings the proper amino acids into the ribosome. The ribosome attaches amino acids together into a growing chain Each trna molecule is three unpaired bases, called the anticodon Each trna molecule anticodon is complementary to one mrna codon Step 3: Ribosomes help to form peptide bonds between amino acids and build the protein, like a production line Step 4: Polypeptide chain grows until it reaches a stop codon Here the newly formed polypeptide and mrna molecule are released.
18 Roles of trna and rrna in translation All three types of RNA come together during translation mrna carries coded message trna molecules carry the amino acids called for by each codon Ribosomes are made of about 80 proteins and 3 or 4 different rrna molecules rrna helps keep ribosomal proteins in place, and help locate start of mrna message They may also help in formation of peptide bonds
19 Molecular basis of heredity Most genes simply contain instructions for making proteins Proteins are key in controlling what traits are exhibited Many proteins are enzymes, which catalyze and regulate chemical reactions Skin colour can be controlled by a gene that codes for an enzyme to prdouce a specific pigment Proteins act as microscopic tools, each specifically designed to build or operate a component of a cell
20 Central Dogma Information is transferred from DNA to RNA to protein There are however many exceptions e.g. viruses transfer information in the opposite direction, from RNA to DNA Acts as a useful generalization to show how genes work Genetic code operates virtually the same way in all living organisms Some organisms may vary which amino acid applies to specific codons Code is always read three bases at a time Code is always read in the same direction There is remarkable unity between all living organism with the molecular biology of the gene.
21 Mutations Section 13.3
22 In today s class.. We will look at: Types of mutations Gene Point vs frameshift mutations Chromosomal Effects of mutations Positive, neutral and negative Causes of mutations Mutagens
23 What is a mutation? Mutations are heritable changes in genetic information
24 What is a mutation? There are two types of mutations Those that produce changes in a single gene Those that produce changes in entire chromosomes
25 Gene mutations Gene mutations that involve changes in one or a few nucleotides are point mutations They occur at a single point in the DNA sequence Occur during replication If a gene in one cell is altered, the alteration can be passed on to every cell
26 Point mutations Types of gene mutation Substitution One base is changed to a different base Only affect one amino acid Sometime no effect (multiple codons code for the same amino acid) Insertions and deletions Effects are more dramatic - bases are still read in groups of three everything is thrown off Also known as frameshift mutations Can alter proteins so much that they no longer can perform their function
27 Chromosomal mutations Involve changes in the number or structure of chromosomes Can change gene location, or the number of copies of some genes 4 types Deletion Duplication Inversion Translocation
28 Effects of mutations Genes can be altered naturally or artificially Resultant mutations may or may not affect an organism Many are caused by errors in the genetic process DNA replication for example An incorrect base is roughly inserted 1 in 10 million times Small changes can gradually accumulate Environmental mutations conditions can effect Can help organisms Mutations can give new traits For example ability consume a new food source, or resist a poison
29 Mutagens Some mutations arise from mutagens chemical or physical agents in the environment Examples some pesticides, tobacco smoke, environmental pollutants. Physical mutagens Electromagnetic radiation (X-rays, UV light). Some interfere with base pairing Some weaken the DNA strand, causing breaks and inversions If DNA interacts with these mutagens, mutations can be produced at a high rate Cells can sometimes repair the damage. If they can t, the DNA base sequence changes permanently
30 Harmful vs helpful mutagens Effects of mutagens can vary widely Some have no effect, some can be beneficial, some negatively disrupt gene function Most are neutral - little to no effect on expression of gene Mutations often thought of negative, but have lead to evolution The organisms' situation will determine whether a mutation is helpful or harmful
31 Harmful effects The most harmful mutations often change protein structure or gene activity Defective proteins disrupt normal biological activities Some cancers are the effect or mutations that cause the uncontrolled growth of cells Sickle Cell disease changes the shape of bloods cells Caused by point mutations in one of the polypeptides in hemoglobin Can lead to anaemia, pain, infections and stunted growth
32 Beneficial effects Some effects can be very beneficial Mutations often produce proteins with new or altered functions This can be useful to organisms in different or changing environments Examples insects and chemical pesticides Mosquitos in Africa are now resistant to many of the chemicals used to control them In humans, beneficial mutations can lead to increases in bine strength and density Breeders often make use of good mutations In plants, a mutation can cause offspring to have 3 or 4 sets of genetic information in the gametes Polyploidy These plants are often larger and stronger than diploid plant lime and bananas have been successfully produced this way.
33 Writing assignment How does the Central Dogma of molecular biology relate to processes that occur in the cell? What does the central dogma imply about the role of RNA in a cell? Are there any limitations to this principle?
34 Gene regulation and expression Section 13.4
35 Gene regulation and expression Why is gene regulation important? Why do cells regulate which genes are used at a given time?
36 Prokaryotic gene regulation Bacteria and prokaryotes do not need all of their genetic information transcribed at once They only want to use the genes necessary for the cells to function This allows bacteria to respond to changes in their environment This is done through DNA binding protein, which regulate genes by controlling transcription Some switch genes on, some turn them off
37 Operons An operon is a group of genes that are regulated together Genes will have related functions E-coli for example has 4238 genes 3 genes are clustered together, which allow the bacterium to use the sugar lactose as food These 3 lactose genes are called the lac operon.
38 Promoters and operators On one side of the operon s three genes are two regulatory regions Promoter: Site where RNA polymerase can bind Operator: When a DNA binding protein called a repressor binds to DNA
39 The lac operon in e-coli Lactose turns the operon on
40 Eukaryotic gene regulation Most of the principles of gene regulation in prokaryotes also apply to eukaryotes Most eukaryotic genes are however controlled individually, and have more complex regulatory sequences than with e-coli. TATA box helps with DNA transcription Made of base pairs containing the sequence TATATA or TATAAA Bind a protein that helps position RNA polymerase
41 Transcription factors Transcription factors bind to DNA sequences in the regulatory regions of eukaryotic genes, and control the expression of the gene Some enhance transcription by: Open up tightly packed chromatin Attract RNA polymerase Others block access to genes, much like repressor proteins Normally multiple transcription factors are required before RNA polymerase can bind to the DNA
42 Promoters in Eukaryotes Promoters have multiple binding sites for transcription factors Certain factors can activate scores of genes at once, changing patterns of gene expression Other factors only respond to chemical signals Steroid hormones are chemical messengers that enter the cell and bind to receptor proteins These receptor complexes act as transcription factors, so one single chemical signal can activate multiple genes The exit of mrna from the nucleus, the stability of mrna and the breakdown of a gene s protein s can all also act as a regulating factor
43 Cell specialization Everything is more complicated in Eukaryotes why? Our DNA contains the information for every cell in our body Would liver enzymes need to be produced in your bone marrow? Keratin, a protein in hair follicles is not produced in blood cells, or your heart, lungs Cell specialization requires genetic specialization Complex gene regulation makes this possible
44 RNA interference Cells contain a lot of small RNA molecules that are unrelated to the three major groups of RNA These small RNA molecules help regulate gene expression They interfere with mrna Interference RNA molecule produce by transcription, produces double stranded hairpin loop Dicer enzyme make small fragments of mirna mirna attaches to proteins and forms silencing complex
45 RNA interference continued RNA interference has made it possible for researchers to switch genes on and off at will All they had to do was insert double stranded RNA Can be used to study gene expression in the lab. Holds the potential to cures for cancer and viruses, allowing us to treat currently incurable diseases
46 Genetic control of development What controls the development of cells and tissues? In a multicellular organism, all of the specialized cell types came from the same fertilized egg cell How do the cells know which cell to become? Cells undergo differentiation, and become specialized in structure and function as they develop Studying genes that control development and differentiation is an exciting area of Biology
47 Homeotic genes Edward B Lewis showed that specific groups of genes control the identity of body parts in the embryo of fruit fly By mutating one of these genes, it was possible to have a fly with a leg growing out of it s head His work showed that there are a set of master control genes (Homeotic genes) that regulate organ development in specific parts of the body
48 Homeobox and Hox genes Homeotic genes share a very similar 180 base DNA sequence a homeobox Homeobox genes code for transcription factors that activate other genes important for cell development and differentiation Homeobox genes are expressed in certain regions In flies, a group of homeobox genes, called HOX genes are located side by side in a cluster These determine the identity of each segment of a flie s body Arranged in the exact order they ate expressed in the body
49 Hox genes This does not apply just to flies Nearly all animals fit this rule Master control genes are like switches that trigger particular patterns of development and differentiation in cells and tissues Evidence that genes have descended from common ancestors
50 Environmental influences Environment can play a role in cell gene expression Temperature, nutrients, salinity for example can all effect gene expression Metamorphosis of tadpoles to frogs great example Mixture of environmental and hormonal factors Speed of metamorphosis can be influenced by environmental factors, which translate into hormonal changes. Hormones function at molecular level
