Resource summary
Molecular Genetics
Transcription
Initiation
Step-By-Step
Promoter recognized by Transcription Factors
RNA Pol. II recruits by transcript factors
Transcription begins and continues 3'-5' along template strand
Elongation
Complementary RNA nuctids. add to growing RNA (U/T)
Termination
Step-by-Step
Polyadenylation signals to cut from polymerase
RNA is PRE-mRNA
RNA Pol. falls off template strand
Purpose
Converts DNA to RNA
Protects information
Multiple RNA copies for more protein production
Post-Transcript Mods (Eukaryotes Only)
Purpose
Export of mRNA from nucleus
Protect mRNA from degradation
Facilitated proper translation
5' Capping
Modified guanine
Add 5' end during transcript
Poly-A-Tail
multiple adenines added at end of signal--3'
Intron Splicing
Spliceosome
Removes introns (snRNA)
Products: mature mRNA and circular intron
Alternative Splicing
1 gene codes multiple proteins
Translation
Purpose
Convert mRNA to Protein
Ribosomal Structure
Large Unit
Small unit
mRNA Binding Sites
Exit
Peptidyl-tRNA bind site
Aminoacyl tRNA Bind site
Reading Frame
Codons
3 mRNA Nucleotides and 1 amino acid
Stop
UAG, UAA, UGA
adapters with an anticodon
Each bind to ONE specific amino acid at Carboxylic Acid
Initiation
tRNA (Transfer RNA)
Step-by-step
Initiator t-RNA (methionine) binds to small unit with initiation factors
small ribosomal subunit/initiator t-RNA binds m-RNA 5' cap to 5' end
Scan toward 3' end until start codon
AUG
Elongation
Step-by-step
Current tRNA at P-Site
moving toward 3'New tRNA add to A-site
AA ads to carboxy end
Chain grows to A-site
Large shifts 1st one codon
Small shifts
tRNA in P-site now in E-site and A-site now P-site
E-site Ejects and new A-site tRNA is added
Termination
Step-by-step
When A-site reads stop codon
UAG, UAA, UGA
Release factor releases peptide chain and ribosomes dissociate
Gene Expression
Purpose
efficiency and adaptive
cells have same genome; need regulation
Results in different cell types
Step-By-Step
1. DNA-->RNA (single)
2. RNA to mRNA
3. Out of Nucleus thought Nuc pore; direction
4. Translation Route-->Protein
Protein-->Activated!
5. Degredation Route
Protein Degredation
