Evidence for the Triplet Code
• Three bases is the minimum length needed to code for 20 amino acids
• Reading frame studies

Evidence for a Non-Overlapping Code
• If code was overlapping:
• Amino acid sequences would be restricted
• Base substitutions would affect two adjacent amino acids
• Translation would be too complex to be efficient

Evidence for a Commaless and Degnerate Code
• Frameshift would result in many nonsense mutations

Deciphering the Code
• Made possible by advancements that:
• Allowed protein synthesis in vitro
• Synthesizing RNA strands in vitro
• First studies utilized homopolymer RNAs
• Advanced to copolymers and heteropolymer RNAs

Observations Suggesting RNA is the Intermediate
• DNA is in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, but protein synthesis happens on ribosomes in the cytoplasm
• RNA is synthesized in the nucleus
• RNA migrates to the cytoplasm
• Amount of RNA is generally proportional to the amount of protein in the cell

RNA Polymerase• Same general substrate requirements as
DNA Polymerase
• No primer is needed
• Holoenzyme with several subunites (E. coli)
• β and β’ are catalytic
• σ plays a regulatory function
• Prokaryotes have a single form of RNA pol (with different σ)
• Eukaryotes have three distinct RNA pols

Consensus Sequences in Prokaryotic Promoters
• TATAAT
• aka: Pribnow box

Introns vs Exons
• Not all of a eukaryotic mRNA is translated into proteins
• Intervening sequences – introns
• Are removed during splicing
• Expressed sequences – exons
• Translated into proteins
