9.1 Ricin and Your Ribosomes
• Ricin, a natural protein in castor oil beans, is highly toxic: A dose as small as a few grains of salt can kill an adult
• Ricin inactivates ribosomes – organelles that assemble amino acids into proteins
• Proteins are critical to all life processes, so cells that cannot make them die very quickly
![Page 3: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Ricin
• One of ricin’s polypeptide chains helps the molecule cross cell membranes
• The other chain destroys a cell’s capacity for protein synthesis
![Page 4: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2.2 Nature of Genetic Information
• DNA contains all of the instructions for building a new individual
• The linear order or sequence of the four bases (A, T, G, C) in the DNA strand is the genetic information, which occurs in subsets called genes
• gene • Part of a DNA base sequence • Specifies an RNA or protein product
![Page 5: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Converting a Gene to RNA
• Transcription converts information in a gene to RNA
• Enzymes use the nucleotide sequence of a gene as a template to synthesize a strand of RNA (ribonucleic acid)
• transcription • Process by which an RNA is assembled from nucleotides
using the base sequence of a gene as a template
![Page 6: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Three Types of RNA
• Three types of RNA have roles in protein synthesis:
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the main component of ribosomes, the structures upon which polypeptide chains are built
• Transfer RNA (tRNA) delivers amino acids to ribosomes in the order specified by a messenger RNA (mRNA)
![Page 7: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Key Terms
• messenger RNA (mRNA) • Type of RNA that carries a protein-building message
• ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Type of RNA that becomes part of ribosomes
• transfer RNA (tRNA) • Type of RNA that delivers amino acids to a ribosome
during translation

RNA Structure
• RNA is a single-stranded chain of four kinds of nucleotides
• Like DNA, a RNA nucleotide has three phosphate groups, a sugar, and one of four bases, but RNA is slightly different:• The sugar in RNA is ribose, not deoxyribose• RNA uses the base uracil instead of thymine

Converting mRNA to Protein
• Translation converts information in an mRNA to protein
• mRNA carries a protein-building message encoded in the sequence of sets of three nucleotide bases
• mRNA is decoded (translated) into a sequence of amino acids, resulting in a polypeptide chain that folds into a protein
• translation • Process by which a polypeptide chain is assembled from
amino acids in the order specified by an mRNA
![Page 21: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Gene Expression
• Transcription and translation are part of gene expression, a process by which information encoded by a gene is converted into a structural or functional part of a cell or a body
• gene expression • Process by which the information in a gene becomes
converted to an RNA or protein product
![Page 22: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Key Concepts
• DNA to RNA to Protein• The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain
corresponds to a sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA called a gene
• The conversion of information in DNA to protein occurs in two steps: transcription and translation
![Page 23: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
9.3 Transcription
• During transcription, DNA acts as a template upon which a strand of RNA (transcript) is assembled from RNA nucleotides
• Each new RNA is complementary in sequence to the DNA template: G pairs with C; A pairs with U (uracil)
• RNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the end of a growing transcript
![Page 24: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
3 Steps in Transcription• Transcription begins with a gene on a chromosome: RNA
polymerase and several regulatory proteins attach to a specific binding site (promoter) in the DNA
![Page 25: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3 Steps in Transcription
• 2. RNA polymerase starts moving along the DNA, in the 3' to 5’ direction over the gene, unwinding the double helix to “read” the base sequence of the DNA strand
![Page 26: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
3 Steps in Transcription
• RNA polymerase bonds free RNA nucleotides into a chain, in the order dictated by that DNA sequence, making an RNA copy of the gene
![Page 27: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

RNA polymerase binds to a promoter in the DNA. The binding positions the polymerase near a gene. In most cases, the base sequence of the gene occurs on only one of the two DNA strands. Only the DNA strand complementary to the gene sequence will be translated into RNA.

2 The polymerase begins to move along the DNA and unwind it. As it does, it links RNA nucleotides into a strand of RNA in the order specified by the base sequence of the DNA. The DNA winds up again after the polymerase passes. The structure of the “opened” DNA at the transcriptionsite is called a transcription bubble, after its appearance.

3 Zooming in on the gene region, we can see that RNA polymerase covalently bonds successive nucleotides into an RNA strand. The base sequence of the new RNA strand is complementary to the base sequence of its DNA template strand, so it is an RNA copy of the gene.

Finishing Transcription
• When the polymerase reaches the end of the gene, the DNA and the new RNA strand are released
• Typically, many polymerases transcribe a particular gene region at the same time, so many new RNA strands can be produced very quickly
![Page 33: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Post-Transcriptional Modifications
• Eukaryotes modify their RNA inside the nucleus, then ship it to the cytoplasm
• Introns are nucleotide sequences that are removed from a new RNA, and exons are sequences that stay in the RNA
• Sometimes, some exons are removed and the remaining exons are spliced together (alternative splicing) which enables one gene to encode different proteins
![Page 37: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Key Terms
• intron • Nucleotide sequence that intervenes between exons and
is excised during RNA processing
• exon • Nucleotide sequence that is not spliced out of RNA during
processing
• alternative splicing • RNA processing event in which some exons are removed
or joined in various combinations
![Page 38: Chapter 9 From DNA to Protein (Sections 9.1 - 9.3)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062411/56812a66550346895d8de66f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Post-Transcriptional Modifications
• New transcripts that will become mRNAs are further modified after splicing
• A modified guanine “cap” is added to the 5’ end, which will help the mRNA bind to a ribosome
• A tail of 50-300 adenines (poly-A tail) is added to the 3’ end
