Today’s Exit TicketThe final product of transcription is mRNA. The template used for transcription is DNA. The first step of the process is called initiation

and involves transcription factors binding to the promoter region. This allows RNA polymerase to bind to the DNA and begin

transcribing, in a process called elongation. During that process, the enzyme reads from the 3’ to 5’ direction and builds the new

strand from 5’ to 3’. The last step of transcription is called termination. In eukaryotes, there is another step before translation. This is

called RNA processing and involves removing introns and adding a 5’ cap and 3’ poly-A tail.

The template strand of a given gene includes the sequence

3′-G C C A C G T A T C A G-5′.

– What is the sequence of the non-template strand?5’– C G G T G C A T A G T C – 3’

– What is the mRNA sequence made? 5’– C G G U G C A U A G U C – 3’

For each one, be sure to indicate 5′ and 3′ ends.

Transcription vs. Translation

DNA RNA Proteins

Transcription:• Like copying info from a

book in the reserved section of the library

• Using the same language

Translation:• Literally translating between

two different languages

• Take the copied info from the library and translate it

into French/Spanish/Mandarin

Translation

a) The ribosome

What is a ribosome?• Made of proteins and

rRNA (ribosomal RNA)

Where are ribosomes?

A. In the nucleusB. Loose in the cytoplasmC. On the Golgi bodyD. On the ERE. More than one of the above is correct

16

All those RNA molecules…

• RNA = ribonucleic acid• pre-mRNA = the RNA transcript produced initially

during transcription in eukaryotes• mRNA = messenger RNA = the (processed) RNA

transcript molecule that will actually be translated• tRNA = transfer RNA = the RNA molecule that brings

amino acids to the ribosome• rRNA = ribosomal RNA = RNA that forms the

structure of the ribosome

17

Translationb) the ribosome

a) The ribosome

What does it do?

• Serves as the site of matching mRNA codons with tRNA anticodons

• Catalyzes formation of peptide bonds to form proteins

(i) Initiation of translation

• Small ribosomal subunit binds mRNA.• Scans for start codon (sets reading frame).• Initiator tRNA binds to start codon.

5) Mutations in protein coding DNA sequences (exons) can alter protein structure and function in several ways.

a) Substitution - Switching one nucleotide for another

b) Insertion/deletion- Adding or removing a nucleotide can create a frameshift

c) Gene duplications: a duplicate copy of an exon or whole gene is created in the genome

this is largely how NEW proteins arise in evolution: once a gene has been duplicated, one copy can evolve, while the other one maintains the original function.
