Introduction
The cell accesses its vast store of data in its genome by:
- Reading a DNA template to make an RNA copy (transcription)
- And decoding the RNA to assemble protein (translation)
After translation, each polypeptide is properly folded and placed at the correct cellular or extracellular location.

Is a complex enzyme that carries out transcription by making RNA copies (called transcripts) of a DNA template strand
In bacteria, the RNA pol holoenzyme is composed of:
- Core polymerase: 2, , ´
- Required for the elongation phase
-Holoenzyme: 2, , ´
- Sigma factor: - Required for the initiation phase
RNA Polymerase
![Page 4: 1 Chapter Overview ● RNA polymerases and sigma factors ● Transcription: DNA is converted to RNA ● The genetic code, ribosomes, and tRNAs ● Translation:](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051017/56649ddb5503460f94ad2914/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

• RNA poymerase links nucleotides in the 5’ 3’
• Opens DNA by itself (helicase is not required)
• Transcription is slower than replication (~ 50 nucleotides/sec)
• Lacks proofreading function (errors 10-4).
RNA Polymerase

The sigma factor helps the core enzyme detect the promoter, which signals the beginning of the gene.
Every cell has a “housekeeping” sigma factor.
- In E. coli, it is sigma-70.
- Recognizes consensus sequences at the –10 and –35 positions, relative to the start of the RNA transcript (+1)
A single bacterial species can make several different sigma factors.

How Sigma Factor Recognizes Specific DNA Sequences
Orientation of the promoter determines the direction of the transcription

Transcription occurs in three phases:
1) Initiation: RNA pol holoenzyme binds to the promoter
- The closed RNA pol complex becomes open.
2) Elongation: The RNA chain is extended
3) Termination: RNA pol detaches from the DNA, after the transcript is made

Transcription Initiation
• Transcription can occur either strands
• Only one DNA strand is transcribed (sense strand)
• Transcription proceeds 5’ 3’
• The first base is usually a purine (A or G) added to the +1 site.
• Orientation of the promoter determines the direction of the transcription
![Page 12: 1 Chapter Overview ● RNA polymerases and sigma factors ● Transcription: DNA is converted to RNA ● The genetic code, ribosomes, and tRNAs ● Translation:](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051017/56649ddb5503460f94ad2914/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Is the sequential addition of ribonucleotides from nucleoside triphosphates
• The original RNA polymerase continues to move along the template, synthesizing RNA at ~ 45 bases/sec.
• The unwinding of DNA ahead of the moving complex forms a 17-bp transcription bubble.
• Positive supercoils ahead are removed by DNA topoisomerases.
Transcription Elongation

Now we have some idea of how RNA polymerase recognizes the beginning of a gene and how the transcription proceeds!
But how does it know when to stop

There are two types of transcription:
- Rho-dependent- Relies on a protein called Rho and a
strong pause site at the 3´ end of the gene
- Rho-independent- Requires a GC-rich region of RNA, as well as 4–8 consecutive U residues
Transcription Termination

Consists of nucleotide triplets called codons
There are 64 possible codons:
- 61 specify amino acids.
- Include the start codons (AUG)
- 3 are stop codons (UAA, UAG, UGA)
The code is degenerate or redundant.
- Multiple codons can encode same amino acid.
The code operates universally across species.
- Remarkably, with very few exceptions
The Genetic Code

The Genetic Code
• Degeneracy: redundancy (e.g. leucine has 6 codons and alanine has 4 codon)

Are decoder molecules that convert the language of RNA into that of proteins
tRNAs are shaped like a clover leaf (in 2-D) and a boomerang (in 3-D).
A tRNA molecule has two functional regions:
- Anticodon: Hydrogen bonds with the mRNA codon specifying an amino acid
- 3´ (acceptor) end: binds the amino acid

• Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, each of which includes rRNA and proteins.
• In prokaryotes, the subunits are 30S and 50S and combine to form the 70S ribosome.
• The 30S contains 21 proteins (S1-S21) assembled around 16S rRNA
• The 50S contains 31 proteins (L1-L31) associated with 5S and 23 S rRNA

The 70S ribosome harbors three binding sites for tRNA:
- A (acceptor) site: Binds incoming aminoacyl-tRNA
- P (peptidyl-tRNA) site: Harbors the tRNA with the growing polypeptide chain
- E (exit) site: Binds a tRNA recently stripped of its polypeptide

31
Polypeptide synthesis occurs in 3 phases:1) Initiation: which brings the two ribosomal subunits together, placing the first amino acid in position
2) Elongation: which sequentially adds amino acids as directed by mRNA transcript
3) Termination: which releases the completed protein and recycles ribosomal subunits
Each phase requires a number of protein factors and energy in the form of GTP.

Three steps are repeated:
• t-RNA-carrying an amino acid binds to “A” site
• peptide bond formation occurs
• the message must move by one codon

translation:- N-formyl group may be removed by methionine deformylase.
- The entire methionine may be removed by methionyl aminopeptidase.
- Acetyl groups or AMP can be attached.
- Proteolytic cleavages may activate or inactivate a protein.

Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline. The ultimate goal of the field is to enable the discovery of new biological insights as well as to create a global perspective from which unifying principles in biology can be discerned
What is bioinformatics?
![Page 43: 1 Chapter Overview ● RNA polymerases and sigma factors ● Transcription: DNA is converted to RNA ● The genetic code, ribosomes, and tRNAs ● Translation:](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051017/56649ddb5503460f94ad2914/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

BioinformaticsSince 1998, the complete genomes of more than
225 microbial species have been published.
This wealth of information has spawned a new discipline called bioinformatics, which is dedicated to comparing genes of different species.
Data from bioinformatics enable scientists to make predictions about an organism’s physiology and evolutionary development.- Even without culturing the organism in a lab

Annotating the Genome Sequence
Annotation of the DNA sequence is basically understanding what the sequence means.
- It requires computers that look for patterns, such as regulatory sequences, open-reading frames (ORFs), and rDNA and tRNA genes
An ORF is a sequence of DNA that encodes an actual polypeptide.
- In eukaryotes, finding ORFs is complicated by the presence of introns.

Evolutionary Relationships
Genes that are homologous likely evolved from a common ancestral gene.
- Orthologous genes - Genes duplicated via appearance of a new species- Have identical function in different
organisms
- Paralogous genes- Genes duplicated within a species- Have slightly different tasks in a cell
