Importance and Structure of DNA: Deoxyribo-Nucleic Acid
Historical Review: 1900’s – Morgan’s studies with fruit flies
showed that genes were located on chromosomes and chromosomes consisted of protein and DNA
1952- Hershey-Chase demonstrated that DNA (not protein) was the genetic material of a viral phage

Beginning of the 1950’s several labs Beginning of the 1950’s several labs were studying the structure of DNAwere studying the structure of DNA
Maurice Wilkins & Rosalind Franklin X-ray crystallography: x-rays pass

April 1953 – Classical one page paper in Nature by Watson and Crick
A double helix – 2 polynucleotide strands Sugar-phosphate chains of each strand
are like the side ropes of a rope ladder Pairs of nitrogen bases, one from each
strand, form the rungs or steps The ladder forms a twist every 10 bases
(all from x-ray studies!)

“alphabet” or code for all the traits the organism possesses
Different genes or traits vary the sequence and length of the bases

Replication/Duplication of DNA Due to complimentary base paring – one
strand of DNA determines the sequence of the other strand
Therefore, each strand of double stranded DNA acts as a template
The double helix first unwinds – controlled by enzymes –and uses new nucleotides that are free in the nucleus to copy a complimentary strand off the original DNA strand

There are a series of enzymes that control DNA replication – enzymes which:
Uncoil the original double helix strand via a helicase
Single-strand binding protein keeps helix apart so replication can start
Prime an area to start replication – primase except it adds RNA nucleotides at first
Polymerase to join individual nucleotides (dehydration synthesis)
Ligases to join short segments

Synthesis of RNA - transcription DNA acts as a template, but only one strand of
DNA utilized at a given time This exposed strand is controlled by specific
enzymes that pair the DNA nucleotides with free RNA nucleotides which are also present in the nucleus
These RNA nucleotides form a single stranded RNA nucleic acid
DNA = ATTGGCT RNA = UAACCGA Short segments of DNA are transcribed at a time
with start and stop messages

Three types of RNA mRNA : messenger RNA
Transcribed from a specific segment of DNA which represents a specific gene or genetic unit
tRNA : transfer RNA Transcribed from different segments of DNA and
their function is to find a specific amino acid in the cytoplasm and bring it to the mRNA
rRNA : ribosomal RNA Transcribed at the nucleolus - with proteins
function as the site of protein synthesis

Three ribosomal sites P Site (peptidyl-tRNA) holds the tRNA carrying
the growing peptide chain after several amino acids have been added
A site (aminoacyl-tRNA) holds the next single amino acid to be added to the chain
E site (exit site) site where discharged tRNA minus amino acids leave ribosome

Protein Synthesis (cont’)Initiation – elongation - termination
Starting at one end of the mRNA, the small ribosomal subunit associates with the mRNA and accepts the first tRNA with its activated amino acid attached = Initiation
tRNA associate with a triplet codon exposed on the mRNA – these are 3 nitrogenous bases that bond with 3 complementary bases exposed (anticodon) on the tRNA opposite the attached amino acid
Wobble Aren’t 61 tRNAs, are 54tRNAs

tRNA complexes with its amino acid in the cytoplasm using ATP – activated tRNA
The activated tRNA-amino acid complex moves towards the ribosomal area and finds a triplet codon exposed that is complementary to the anticodon of the tRNA
The first activated tRNA-amino acid, after its anticodon is bound to the mRNA codon, associates with the large ribosomal subunit which now joins the smaller subunit and the mRNA and the tRNA (TAKE A BREATH!)

The first tRNA and its amino acid now occupy the P site of the large ribosomal subunit
Review – at this point the 2 part ribosome is assembled, the mRNA has started to be read, and one tRNA plus amino acid is occupying the P site
That means the adjacent A site is free to accept a second activated tRNA and its amino acid, but only if the anticodon of this tRNA matches the next three base pairs exposed (codon)

Protein Synthesis (continued)
At this point, there are 2 tRNA-amino acid complexes adjacent to each other – Elongation involved one amino acid being added in a three step process: Codon recognition – the mRNA codon in the A
site matches with the anticodon of the tRNA –amino acid complex
Peptide bond formation between the new amino acid in the A site and the amino acid (later peptide) in the P site
Translocation
![Page 71: 5 DNA RNA Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55501b60b4c905af648b4f55/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Translocation – the ribosome moves the tRNA into the A site, and its attached peptide to the P site, as the previous tRNA from the P site moves to the E (Exit) site and leaves the ribosome
Review: once this process is under way, an activated tRNA with its amino acid finds an exposed codon in the A site, attaches via H-bonds, then forms a peptide bond with the polypeptide associated with the tRNA sitting in the adjacent P site. For a moment, the longer polypeptide chain is only attached to the tRNA in the A site. Now the entire ribosome shifts so that the………

Yet More Protein Synthesis The empty tRNA from the P site
moves in to the E site and leaves the ribosome
As the tRNA with the polypeptide chain moves from the A site to the now empty P site ….exposing a new codon. GUESS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!

A question? Every time a new codon is exposed in the
A site, a specific tRNA-AA complex moves into the site. What originally determined this mRNA Codon?
![Page 74: 5 DNA RNA Protein Synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55501b60b4c905af648b4f55/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
The Answer! The original DNA that was transcribed This elongation of 1 AA takes about 0.1 s Termination – the above continues
(dozens to hundreds or more AA added) until the STOP CODON is reached (codon at the end of the mRNA)
This codon does not have a matching tRNA anticodon so the tRNA-AA attaches in the A site and the tRNA moves to the E site and releases the polypeptide chain

FINALLY - SUMMARY The take home message:
At the ribosome, the genetic language of DNA is translated into a different language – Via RNA – into the functioning language of PROTEINS!!!!
