3.3.3 Protein Synthesis
Drill
• What are three similarities and three differences between RNA and DNA?
• What is DNA replication?
Which is which?
• DNA RNA
DNA vs. RNA
DNA RNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid Ribonucleic acid
Double-stranded; double helix Single-stranded
Nucleotide bases: A T G C Nucleotide bases: A U G C
Only in nucleus of eukaryotes (in cytoplasm of prokaryotes)
In cytoplasm
Stores genetic information Translated into amino acids which are then assembled into proteins
Organic molecules
Nucleic acids
Nucleotides are building blocks
Made up of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen bases
DNA Replication
• DNA makes a copy of itself• Original strand of DNA is “unzipped”
by enzymes• Following the base pair rules for DNA
(A T, T A, G C, and C G), each exposed strand is used as a template for a new complementary strand
• Occurs in the nucleus
Objectives
• Define gene.• Differentiate between the three
types of RNA.• Explain how the sequence of
nitrogen bases in DNA direct protein formation.
• State that proteins determine traits.
Key Questions
• What is a gene?• What are the roles of each molecule in
protein formation?• Sequence of nitrogen bases in DNA• Three types of RNA• Enzymes• Amino acids• Ribosomes
• What macromolecule determines traits?
Vocabulary
• Codon• Gene• mRNA• tRNA• rRNA• Replication• Transcription• Translation
Definition of Gene
• A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein or RNA
• Albinism occurs when an organism produces little to no melanin (pigment) in the eyes, skin, and/or hair• There are at least 6 different genes
involved in pigmentation (chromosome 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15)
Albino Reptiles and Amphibians
Albino Mammals
Parkinson’s Disease- chromosome 4
How are DNA sequences used to make proteins?
• DNA's instructions are used to make proteins in a two-step process. First, enzymes read the information in a DNA molecule and transcribe it into an intermediary molecule called messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA.
• Next, the information contained in the mRNA molecule is translated into the "language" of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. This language tells the cell's protein-making machinery the precise order in which to link the amino acids to produce a specific protein. This is a major task because there are 20 types of amino acids, which can be placed in many different orders to form a wide variety of proteins.
Types of RNA
• Messenger RNA (mRNA)- RNA molecules that carry copies of instruction for making amino acids from DNA to the rest of the cell
• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)- make up ribosomes
• Transfer RNA (tRNA)- transfers each amino acid to the ribosome as it is specified by coded messages in mRNA

Transcription
• RNA molecules are produced by copying part of the nucleotide sequence of DNA (ATGC…) to a complementary sequence in RNA
• During transcription, RNA polymerase (an enzyme) binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands. RNA polymerase then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA.
Base Pair Rules for Transcription
• A U• T A• G C• C G
• THERE IS NO THYMINE (T) IN RNA
Location of RNA
• RNA is formed in the nucleus• It leaves the nucleus and goes into
the cytoplasm

Codons
• Codons are groups of three consecutive RNA nucleotides that specify an amino acid• Ex: U G C

Translation
• In translation, the cell uses information from mRNA to produce proteins.
• The codons from transcribed RNA are decoded and used to make amino acids. These amino acids are then used to make proteins.

Why are the nucleotides of RNA separated into these sections?
Ribosomes Make Proteins
• The ribosomes assemble these amino acids into proteins.
• Most genes contain nothing more than instructions for assembling proteins. Proteins are the keys to almost anything that living cells do.
