1 GENE EXPRESSION AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL 1
2 Gene expression Gene function at the level of traits Gene function at the molecular level Two levels tied together since the molecular level affects the structure and function of cells which determines what traits are expressed 2
3 Gene expression 1908, Archbold Garrod proposed relationship between genes and the production of enzymes Studied patients with metabolic defects Alkaptonuria- patient s body accumulates abnormal levels of homogentisic acid (alkapton) Hypothesized disease due to missing enzyme Knew it had a recessive pattern of inheritance Inborn error of metabolism 3
4 4
5 Gene expression Beadle and Tatum rediscovered Garrod s work in the early 1940s Studied Neurospora crassa, common bread mold Minimum requirements for growth are carbon source (sugar), inorganic salts, and biotin 5
6 Gene expression Mutant strains, compared to wild-type or normal, would be unable to grow unless supplemented A single mutation resulted in the requirement for a single type of vitamin Stimulated research into other substances including the amino acid arginine 6
7 Isolated several mutants requiring arginine for growth Examined for ability to grow in the presence of precursors 3 groups based on requirements Beadle and Tatum conclude that single gene controls the synthesis of a single enzyme One gene one enzyme hypothesis 7
8 Gene expression One gene one enzyme hypothesis has been modified Enzymes are only one category of cellular proteins More accurate to say one gene encodes a polypeptide Hemoglobin composed of 4 polypeptides required for function One gene one polypeptide theory 8
9 Central dogma Transcription Produces an RNA copy or transcript of a gene Structural genes produce messenger RNA (mrna) that specifies the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide Translation Process of synthesizing specific polypeptide on a ribosome Eukaryotes have additional intervening step called RNA processing where pre-mrna is processed into functionally active mrna 9
10 10
11 Central Dogma Genes contain the information necessary to make the organism and allow it to favorably interact with its environment Structural genes code for polypeptides Polypeptide becomes a unit of function or protein Activities of proteins determine structure and function of cells Traits or characteristics of organism based on cellular activities 11
12 12
13 Transcription A gene is an organized unit of DNA sequences that enables a segment of DNA to be transcribed into RNA and ultimately results in the formation of a functional product Over 90% of all genes are structural Other genes code for the RNA itself Transfer RNA (trna) translates mrna into amino acids Ribosomal RNA (rrna) - part of ribosomes 13
14 14
15 Three stages 1. Initiation 2. Elongation 3. Termination 15
16 Three stages 1. Initiation Recognition step In bacteria, sigma factor causes RNA polymerase to recognize promoter region Catalytic portion of RNA polymerase has similar structure in all species 16
17 2. Elongation RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA after release of sigma factor Open complex base pairs long Template or coding strand used for RNA synthesis Noncoding strand is not used Synthesized 5 to 3 Uracil substituted for thymine Behind open complex, DNA rewinds 17
18 3. Termination RNA polymerase reaches termination sequence Causes it and newly made RNA transcript to dissociate from DNA 18
19 19
20 Direction of transcription and DNA strand used varies among genes In all cases, synthesis of RNA transcript is 5 to 3 and DNA template strand reads 3 to 5 20
21 Eukaryotic transcription Basic features identical to prokaryotes However, each step has more proteins 3 forms of RNA polymerase RNA polymerase II transcribes mrna RNA polymerase I and III transcribes nonstructural genes for rrna and trna RNA polymerase II requires 5 general transcription factors to initiate transcription 21
22 RNA processing Bacterial mrnas can be translated into polypeptides as soon as they are made Eukaryotic mrnas are made in a longer premrna form that requires processing into mature mrna Introns- transcribed but not translated Exons- coding sequence found in mature mrna Splicing- removal of introns and connection of exons Other modifications also occur addition of tails and caps 22
23 23
24 Splicing Leder s experiment to identify introns in the β-globin gene Double stranded DNA of the β-globin gene was first separated into single strands and then mixed with mature mrna of the β- globin gene If mrna binds to a region of a gene with one intron, two single stranded DNA loops will form that are separated by a doublestranded DNA region 24
25 25
26 Introns found in many eukaryotic genes Widespread in complex eukaryotes Human dystrophin gene has 79 exons and 78 introns Introns are rare in all prokaryotes Introns removed from eukaryotic premrna using a spliceosome composed of snrnps (snurps) Nucleur RNA and a set of proteins 26
27 Intron RNA is defined by particular sequences within the intron and at the intron-exon boundaries 5 splice site, branch site, 3 splice site Spliceosome subunits recognize intron sequences Binding causes intron to loop outward Two exons brought closer together Alternative splicing- function of spliceosome regulated so that single gene can encode 2 or more polypeptides Introns in rrna and trna are self-splicing 27
28 28
29 5 cap and capping 7-methylguanosine covalently attached to 5 end Needed for proper exit of mrna from nucleus and binding to ribosome 3 poly A tail adenine nucleotides added to 3 end Increases stability and lifespan in cytosol Not encoded in gene sequence 29
30 30
31 Translation Genetic code sequence of bases in an mrna molecule Read in groups of three nucleotide bases or codons Most codons specify a particular amino acid Also start and stop codons Degenerate- more than one codon can specify the same amino acid 31
32 32
33 Har Gobind Khorana Noble Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1968 Also first to synthesize oligonucleotides First to isolate DNA ligase 33
34 Bacterial mrna 5 ribosomalbinding site Start codon usually AUG Typical polypeptide is a few hundred amino acids in length 1 of 3 stop codons Termination or nonsense codons UAA, UAG or UGA 34
35 Reading frame Start codon defines reading frame 5 AUAAGGAGGUUACG(AUG)(CAG)(CAG)(GGC)(UUU)(ACC) 3 Met Gln -Gln -Gly -Phe -Thr Addition of a U shifts the reading frame and changes the codons and amino acids specified 5 AUAAGGAGGUUACG(AUG)(UCA)(GCA)(GGG)(CUU)(UAC)C 3 Met Ser -Ala -Gly -Leu -Tyr 35
36 DNA sequence of gene transcribed into mrna mrna Codons T of DNA substituted for U of RNA trna Anticodon allows binding of trna to mrna codon 36
37 37
38 Nirenberg and Leder found the RNA triplets can promote the binding of trna to ribosomes 1964 found that an RNA triplet can act like a codon within an mrna molecule Experiment establishes relationship between triplet sequence and specific amino acids Used radiolabeled amino acids bound to trna Complex of trna, RNA triplet and ribosome could be filtered by size
39 HYPOTHESIS: A triplet RNA can bind to a ribosome and promote the Binding of the trna that carries the amino acid that the triplet RNA specifies
40 40
41 trna Different trna molecules encoded by different genes trna ser carries serine Common features Cloverleaf structure Anticodon Acceptor stem for amino acid binding 41
42 trna Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzes the attachment of amino acids to trna One for each of 20 different amino acids 2 reactions result in trna with amino acid attached or charged trna or aminoacyl trna Ability of aminoacyl-trna synthetase to recognize appropriate trna has been called the second genetic code 42
43 43
44 Ribosomes Prokaryotes have one kind Eukaryotes have distinct ribosomes in different cellular compartments Focus on cytosolic ribosomes Composed of large and small subunits Structural differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes exploited by antibiotics to inhibit bacterial ribosomes only 44
45 45
46 Overall ribosome shape determined by rrna Discrete sites for trna binding and polypeptide synthesis P site- peptidyl site A site- aminoacyl site E site- exit site 46
47 Comparisons of small subunit rrnas among different species provide basis for establishing evolutionary relationships Components for translation arose in ancestor that gave rise to all living species All organisms have evolutionarily related translational components Gene for small subunit rrna (SSU rrna) found in all genomes Gene evolution involves changes in DNA sequences Identical sequences are evolutionarily conserved Critical function not subject to change Gene sequences more similar in more closely related species

49 Which are different species? 49
50 Stages of Translation 1. Initiation mrna, first trna and ribosomal subunits assemble 2. Elongation Synthesis from start codon to stop codon 3. Termination Complex disassembles at stop codon releasing completed polypeptide 50
51 51
52 Initiation mrna, first trna and ribosomal subunits assemble Requires help of ribosomal initiation factors Also requires input of energy (GTP hydrolysis) 52
53 Bacteria mrna binds to small ribosomal subunit facilitated by ribosomal-binding sequence Start codon a few nucleotides downstream Initiator trna recognizes start codon in mrna 53
54 Bacteria Large ribosomal subunit associates The initiator trna is in the P site 54
55 Eukaryotic differences in initiation Instead of a ribosomal-binding sequence, mrnas have 7-methylguanosine cap at 5 end Recognized by cap-binding proteins Position of start codon more variable In many cases, first AUG codon used as start codon 55
56 Elongation 1. Aminoacyl trna brings a new amino acid to the A site Binding occurs due to codon/ anticodon recognition Elongation factors hydrolzye GTP to provide energy to bind trna to A site Peptidyl trna is in the P site Aminoacyl trna is in the A site 56
57 2. A peptide bond is formed between the amino acid at the A site and the growing polypeptide chain The polypeptide is removed from the trna in the P site and transferred to the amino acid at the A site peptidyl transfer reaction 57
58 3. Movement or translocation of the ribosome toward the 3 end of the mrna by one codon Shifts trnas at the P and A sites to the E and P sites The next codon is now at the A spot Uncharged trna exits from E spot 58
59 Termination When a stop codon is found in the A site, translation ends 3 stop codons- UAA, UAG, UGA Recognized by release factors 59
60 Completed polypeptide attached to a trna in the P site and stop codon in the A site 1. Release factor binds to stop codon at the A site 2. Bond between polypeptide and trna hydrolyzed to release polypeptide 3. Ribosomal subunits and release factors disassociate 60
61 Polypeptide chain has directionality Parallels 5 to 3 orientation of mrna N-terminus or amino terminus is first amino acid C-terminus or carboxyl terminus is last amino acid 61
