Overview of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells
BLUE PRINT OF LIFE• DNA – Deoxy ribose nucleic acid• Instructions to make proteins for the cellCrick-Watson model Double helical structure with complimentary binding A,G,C,T building blocks of DNA A=T , CΞG Anti parllel strands with 5’ and 3’ ends
CENTRAL DOGMA
GENE• Part of DNA that can translate into a protein –Gene• Transcription : A,C,T,G -> A,C,U,G • RNA – mRNA , tRNA, rRNA• Every 3 bases in mRNA form a codon and codes for specific
amino acid• Every 3 bases in tRNA has specific anticodon that binds to
specific codon.• rRNA is a component of ribosome, helps in translation
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic genes
The DifferenceProkaryotes• Continuous stretch of genes• Transcribed mRNA is directly translated by ribosomes
Eukaryotes• Mix of introns and exons• Post transcriptional changes• Each gene has its own transcriptional control
GENE PREDICTION
• In Prokaryotes genes can be identified using ORFs• In Eukaryotes genes can be identified by Hidden Markov
models (HMMs) for gene finding : GeneMark,GeneMark.hmm, GLIMMER,GRAIL, GenScan / GenomeScan, etc.
Final output of Central dogma Long chains of amino acids – Primary structure α-helices, and β-sheets with h-bonds – Secondary structure α-helices, and β-sheets fold to globular structure with
Biotechnology• It harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop
technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet.
• Using Biotechnology we can fetch information of various activities at cellular level, such as genetic disorder, gene regulation, protein -protein interactions, protein functions etc.
DNA HYBRIDISATION
Why Polymerase Chain Reaction • PCR can make billions of copies of a target sequence of DNA in a
few hoursCycle of PCR steps• DNA denaturation at 95 degrees C.• Primer annealing at 50-60 degrees C.• DNA polymerization by a thermostable DNA polymerase at 72
PATHWAYS A metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions occurring within a
cell, catalyzed by enzymes, and resulting in either the formation of a metabolic product to be used or stored by the cell, or the initiation of another metabolic pathway.
Networks of metabolite feedback pathways regulate gene and protein expression, also can mediate signaling between organisms.
Public resources for Pathways
Reactome http://www.reactome.org/ It’s a curated pathway database. We can analyse,browse and download pathways Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes
http://www.genome.jp/kegg holds the current knowledge on molecular interaction networks, including metabolic pathways, regulatory pathways,and molecular complexes MetaCyc
http://www.metacyc.org MetaCyc is a database of nonredundant, experimentally elucidated metabolic pathways
