12-3 RNA and Protein Synthesis
WARM UP
What are proteins?Where do they come from?
From DNA to RNA to Protein
DNA in our cells carry the instructions for making proteins in order for our cells to function.
These instructions are found on our genes – sections of DNA that control the production of proteins within the
cell.
How an Organism’s Genotype Determines Its Phenotype
– An organism’s genotype is its genetic makeup, the sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA.
– The phenotype is the organism’s physical traits, which arise from the actions of a wide variety of proteins.
DNA specifies the synthesis of proteins in two stages:1. transcription, the transfer of genetic information
from DNA into an RNA molecule
2. translation, the transfer of information from RNA into a protein.

• RNA = ribonucleic acid (ribose sugar)
• Instead of THYMINE, RNA has URACIL
• Single strand
RNA Overview
– mRNA = messanger RNA
– tRNA = transfer RNA
– rRNA = ribosomal RNA
3 Types of RNA
– mRNA = messanger RNA• made by transcription of the original DNA
molecule
• a messanger from the DNA to the rest of the cell.
3 Types of RNA
– tRNA = transfer RNA• interpreter, converts the language in mRNA into
the language of proteins (amino acid monomers)
3 Types of RNA
– rRNA = ribosomal RNA• rRNA is combined with proteins to form a
ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis
• coordinate the functions of mRNA and tRNA

Transcription: From DNA to RNA
Transcription
• makes mRNA from a DNA template,
• substitutes uracil (U) for thymine (T).
• uses a process that resembles the synthesis of a DNA strand during DNA replication
Lets take a closer look at this process!!!
Transcription: From DNA to RNA
THE BIG PICTURE
– Transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA resembles the process of DNA replication!
– Only 1 strand of DNA is used as a template for mRNA synthesis.
– RNA nucleotides are linked by the transcription enzyme RNA polymerase.
– End result is mRNA!!!

Transcription
– The “start transcribing” signal is a nucleotide sequence on DNA called a promoter• located in the DNA sequence at the beginning of
the gene which is being transcribed.
• a specific place where RNA polymerase attaches.

The Processing of Eukaryotic RNA
So…we now have an RNA strand….now what?
– Prokaryotic cells• RNA transcribed from a gene immediately
functions as messenger RNA (mRNA), the molecule that is translated into protein.
– Eukaryotic cells• localizes transcription in the nucleus (because they
have one!!)
• modifies, or processes, the RNA transcript in the nucleus before it move to the cytoplasm for translation by a ribosome.
– RNA processing includes• removing introns (noncoding regions of the RNA)
• RNA splicing, joining exons (the parts of the gene that are expressed) together to form messenger RNA (mRNA).
The Processing of Eukaryotic RNA
A region of a DNA molecule that indicates to an enzyme where to bind to make RNA is the
a. intron.
b. exon.
c. promoter.
d. codon.
The Genetic Code
How does a piece of mRNA now make a protein?
The genetic code is the “language” of mRNA instructions that are translated by rRNA into the language of proteins.
The code is written using four “letters”
• A (adenine)
• U (uracil)
• C (cytosine)
• G (guanine)
The Genetic Code
• Proteins are made by joining amino acidstogether in long chains called polypeptides (like beads on a string!!)
• Each polypeptide contains a combination of any or all of the 20 different amino acids.
• The property of each protein is determined by the order in which the amino acids are joined together.
The Genetic Code
The Genetic Code
• An mRNA strand is read three nucleotides at a time.
• A three nucleotide sequence is called a codon.
• Each codon specifies a particular amino acid (monomer of protein)
The Genetic Code
mRNA sequence
UCGCACGGU
will be read 3 letters at a time
UCG-CAC-GGU
Each codon (three letter sequence) represents and amino acid.
UCG – CAC- GGUSerine-Histidine-Glycine
The Genetic Code
A codon typically carries sufficient information to specify a(an)
a. single base pair in RNA.
b. single amino acid.
c. entire protein.
d. single base pair in DNA.
Translation
• Translation is the decoding of an mRNA message into a polypeptide chain (protein).
• Translation takes place on ribosomes.
• During translation, the cell uses information from messenger RNA (mRNA) to produce proteins.
• tRNA carry specific amino acids based on the mRNAmessage.
Translation
• Each tRNA molecule only carries 1 amino acid.
• tRNA also has 3 unpaired bases called anticodons, which are complementary to 1 mRNA codon.
Steps of Translation
1. mRNA leaves the nucleus via nuclear pore.2. mRNA attaches to a ribosome3. The ribosome reads the first codon (3 letter sequence)4. tRNA brings the proper amino acid into the ribosome5. The ribosome moves down the mRNA and reads the 2nd codon6. tRNA brings the proper amino acid into the ribosome7. The ribosome forms a bond between the first and second
amino acid.8. The first tRNA is released from the ribosome.9. The ribosome continues down the mRNA reading each codon
and tRNA brings in the amino acid and the polypeptide chain grows.
10.The polypeptide chain grown until the ribosome reaches a STOP codon on the mRNA molecule, at which point it releases the newly formed protein and mRNA.
