1 LABS 9 AND 10 DNA STRUCTURE AND REPLICATION; RNA AND PROTEIN SYNTHESIS OBJECTIVE 1. OBJECTIVE 2. OBJECTIVE 3. OBJECTIVE 4. Describe the structure of DNA. Explain how DNA replicates. Understand the structure ofrna and the process of transcription. Explain the process of translation and the role of codon-anticodon pairing in protein synthesis. EXERCISE 1. DIAGRAM A POLYNUCLEOTIDE CHAIN MATERIALS NEEDED: Biology textbook Lead pencil and colored pencils DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the carrier of genetic information in most living organisms. This nucleic acid is composed of four kinds of subunits, called nucieotides, bonded together in a long interconnecting chain. Each nucleotide building block of DNA consists of (1) a S-carbon sugar molecule, (2) a phosphate group and (3) a nitrogenous (nitrogen- containing) base. The sugar molecule is deoxyribose and has the molecular formula CSH Use your textbook to examine the structural formula of deoxyribose. All DNA nucleotides contain the phospate group and the sugar deoxyribose. However, there are four different types of bases in DNA- thymine (abbreviated T), cytosine (C), adenine (A) and guanine (G). Thus, DNA is composed of A containing nucleotides, T containing nucleotides, C containing nucleotides, and G containing nucleotides. Again, use your textbook to examine the structural formulas of these four nitrogenous bases. Also, examine a diagram of the structure of a nucleotide, and note how the three parts of the nucleotide are joined. PROCEDURE: In the area marked Exercise I on the answer sheet, diagram with a lead pencil a single stranded polynucleotide chain that has the following base sequence: If you are using a computer to generate this, use black font. TACCCAAAATCC In your diagram, you may use the following symbols (these symbols should be used in Exercises II and ill as well) or generate your own. If you generate your own symbols, be sure to include a key for your symbols. Phosphate group Deoxyribose 0 Labs 9 and 10-1
2 Adenine Thymine Guanine D Cytosine EXERCISE n. FORMATION OF A DOUBLE-STRANDED DNA MOLECULE DNA is made up of two complementary strands of nucleotides twisted to form a double helix, something resembling a spiraled rope ladder. The sides of the ladder are formed by the sugar and phosphate molecules. The rungs are formed by nitrogenous bases joined together by hydrogen bonds. Before you start this exercise, read about the structure of DNA in your textbook. Be sure to study the diagrams in your text. PROCEDURE: In the area marked Exercise Il on the answer sheet, diagram (again, with the lead pencil or black font) a double-stranded DNA molecule, using the strand you drew in Exercise I as the template, i.e. a complementary, single strand of DNA nucleotides must now be constructed to bond with the initial strand. Remember, the nucleotides should be diagrammed so that cytosine of the initial strand always pairs with guanine on the new strand and vice versa. The thymine containing nucleotides on the initial strand should always pair with adenine containing nucleotides on the new strand and vice versa. Connect the base pairs with dotted lines to represent the hydrogen bonds. Do not worry about twisting the stand into the double helix! Your drawing obviously represents a tiny portion of a DNA molecule. EXERCISE ill.dna REPLICATION As mentioned earlier, DNA carries the inherited genetic information found in the coded sequence. of its bases. It is essential that DNA be duplicated exactly from one cell division to the next. A mutation results if there is a change in the base sequence. The process of duplication is termed DNA replication. For replication to begin, the double helix must be unwound and separated into two single strands of DNA called templates. An enzyme called DNA polymerase binds to each of the unwound strands. It then moves along each strand linking nucleotides with complementary bases to the exposed bases on the templates with hydrogen bonds. The result of this replication is the synthesis of two identical double- stranded DNA molecules. Read about DNA replication in your textbook. Be sure to pay careful attention to the diagrams. PROCEDURE: In the area marked Exercise ill on the answer sheet, replicate the DNA molecule that you drew in Exercise II. Use the LEAD pencil to diagram the ORIGINAL strands in the replicated molecules, and a COLORED pencil to diagram the NEWLY SYNTHESIZED strands. Thus, by looking at your drawings, one can see that the replication is semi-conservative; that is, each new double stranded molecule consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. Answer the quiz questions on DNA structure and replication on the answer sheets at the end Labs 9 and 10-2
3 - of this lab. Each question counts one point toward the 25 points for Lab 9. As you already know, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the carrier of genetic information in living organisms. The sequence of nucleotides found in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids in proteins. This encoded information is carried by RNA into the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs. It is the responsibility of ribonucleic acid (RNA) to express this genetic information. Messenger RNA carries the information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm and transfer RNA takes specific amino acids to the mrna transcript.. RNA is similar to DNA but it differs in three aspects: 1) RNA is single-stranded, not double-stranded, 2) RNA has a ribose sugar rather than deoxyribose in its backbone, 3) RNA contains the pyrimidine base uracil (U) which replaces the thymine (T) found in DNA. In Exercises IV, V, and VI use the following symbols or one that you devise for ribose and uracil. Ribose Uracil EXERCISE IV. TRANSCRIPTION The first step in protein synthesis is transcription. In this process, RNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to one strand (the sense strand) of the DNA molecule. While causing the DNA to unwind, the RNA polymerase moves along the sense strand, making an RNA chain of nucleotides which are complementary to the chain of nucleotides in DNA. The complementary RNA strand does not remain paired with the DNA template. Rather, the growing RNA strand is released while the two strands of DNA reattach and wind back together. RNA polymerase does not copy all the DNA of an entire chromosome. Instead, the RNA transcript thus formed has the information for making a polypeptide (a gene is transcibed). A short sequence of DNA nucleotides called the promoter marks the origin of a gene. The enzyme recognizes this sequence as the starting place and transcribes the DNA until it reaches a different DNA sequence that signals it to stop. Read about the formation of mrna from DNA in your textbook. Again, be sure to carefully study the diagrams of transcription in your textbook before you start this exercise. PROCEDURE: In the area marked Exercise IV on the answer sheet, use a colored pencil to diagram a mrna strand transcribed from the DNA strand that begins with the base sequence TAC used in the previous exercises. Remember, mrna contains the base uracil and the sugar ribose. EXERCISE V. TRANSLATION Once the mrna has been synthesized, it leaves the nucleus and travels to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. Each ribosome is composed of two subunits. The small subunit recognizes and binds mrna. The large subunit contains an enzymatic unit that catalyzes the addition of amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain and two sites (designated A and P) that bind molecules to the trna. As the Labs 9 and 10-3
4 .. mrna travels to the ribosome, enzymes in the cytoplasm recognize each specific trna molecule and attach the correct amino acid to it. There are over sixty different kinds of trna, usually two to four for each kind of amino acid. The trna has two important attachment sites. One, known as the anticodon, binds to the codon on the mrna. The other attachment site carries a specific amino acid. Look at the diagram of the structure of trna in the text. Your text contains a mrna codon chart (labeled Dictionary of the Genetic Code). You will need to use this chart to complete exercise V. A codon codes for a specific amino acid. Note that it is the codons of mrna (not trna anticodons) that are used to specify the amino acids. For example, if a mrna codon is AAG, the amino acid that it would code for would be lysine (abbreviated lys). Thus, the amino acid lysine would be delivered to the mrna strand by a molecule of trna with the anticodon VUC. Study the diagrams of translation in your textbook before you make your diagram. In the area marked Exercise V on the answer sheet, illustrate the bonding of the anticodons of trna to the codons of mrna for the mrna strand that you diagrammed in Exercise IV. In other words, draw the mrna strand again and then draw the specific trna molecules carrying their specific amino acids that would bind to the mrna. Use the following symbol to stand for trna. Be sure to show the anticodon for each trna used and the amino acid that it carries. Specific amino acid (3 letter abbreviation) Base sequence of trna antocodon EXERCISE VI. TRANSLATION COMPLETED In the area marked Exercise VI on the answer sheet, write the order of the amino acids (using the 3 letter abbreviation) in the polypeptide fragment that has been translated.
