Synthesis of RNA from a NDA template is called transcription.
Genes are transcribed by enzymes called RNA polymerases that generate a single-stranded RNA.

Primary transcript
The RNA strand that is initially generated.
Direction
The DNA template is copied in the 3’ to 3’ direction.
The RNA transcript is synthesized in the 5’ to 3’ direction.
RNA polymerasesThe DNA template is copied in the 3’ to 3’ direction.
The RNA transcript is synthesized in the 5’ to 3’ direction.
They can initiate the synthesis of the new strands in the absence of a primer.

Recognition of DNA by RNA polymerases
![Page 17: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
RNA polymerase must recognize which genes to transcribe.
Transcribed genes are only a small fraction of the total DNA.
The genes that are transcribed differ from one type of cell to another
Change with changes in physiologic conditions.
![Page 18: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The signals in DNA that RNA polymerase recognizes are called promoters.
Promoters are sequences in DNA that determine the startpoint and the frequency of transcription.Often composed of smaller sequences called boxes or elements.
![Page 19: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• Messenger RNA is transcribed from the template strand of a gene.
• RNA polymerase separates the DNA strands at the appropriate point and bonds the RNA nucleotides as they base-pair along the DNA template.
• Like DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases can add nucleotides only to the 3’ end of the growing polymer.– Genes are read 3’->5’, creating a 5’->3’ RNA
molecule.

• Specific sequences of nucleotides along the DNA mark where gene transcription begins and ends.– RNA polymerase attaches and initiates transcription
at the promotor, “upstream” of the information contained in the gene, the transcription unit.
– The terminator signals the end of transcription.• Bacteria have a single type of RNA polymerase that
synthesizes all RNA molecules.• In contrast, eukaryotes have three RNA polymerases
(I, II, and III) in their nuclei.– RNA polymerase II is used for mRNA synthesis.
![Page 30: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Transcriptioncan beseparatedinto threestages:initiation, elongation, andtermination.
![Page 31: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• The presence of a promoter sequence determines which strand of the DNA helix is the template.
– Within the promoter is the starting point for the transcription of a gene.
– The promoter also includes a binding site for RNA polymerase several dozen nucleotides upstream of the start point.
– In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase can recognize and bind directly to the promoter region.
![Page 32: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• In eukaryotes, proteins called transcription factors recognize the promoter region, especially a TATA box, and bind to the promoter.
• After they have boundto the promoter,RNA polymerasebinds to transcriptionfactors to create atranscriptioninitiation complex.
• RNA polymerasethen startstranscription.
![Page 33: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• As RNA polymerase moves along the DNA, it untwists the double helix, 10 to 20 bases at time.
• The enzyme addsnucleotides to the3’ end of thegrowing strand.
• Behind the pointof RNA synthesis,the double helixre-forms and theRNA moleculepeels away.
![Page 34: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• A single gene can be transcribed simultaneously by several RNA polymerases at a time.
• A growing strand of RNA trails off from each polymerase.– The length of each new strand reflects how far
along the template the enzyme has traveled from the start point.
• The congregation of many polymerase molecules simultaneously transcribing a single gene increases the amount of mRNA transcribed from it.
• This helps the cell make the encoded protein in large amounts.
![Page 35: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Transcription proceeds until after the RNA polymerase transcribes a terminator sequence in the DNA.– In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase stops transcription
right at the end of the terminator.• Both the RNA and DNA is then released.
– In eukaryotes, the polymerase continues for hundreds of nucleotides past the terminator sequence, AAUAAA.• At a point about 10 to 35 nucleotides past this
sequence, the pre-mRNA is cut from the enzyme.
![Page 36: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
2. Eukaryotic cells modify RNA after transcription
• Enzymes in the eukaryotic nucleus modify pre-mRNA before the genetic messages are dispatched to the cytoplasm.
• At the 5’ end of the pre-mRNA molecule, a modified form of guanine is added, the 5’ cap.– This helps protect mRNA from hydrolytic
enzymes.– It also functions as an “attach here” signal for
ribosomes.
![Page 37: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• At the 3’ end, an enzyme adds 50 to 250 adenine nucleotides, the poly(A) tail.– In addition to inhibiting hydrolysis and facilitating
ribosome attachment, the poly(A) tail also seems to facilitate the export of mRNA from the nucleus.
• The mRNA molecule also includes nontranslated leader and trailer segments.
![Page 38: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• The most remarkable stage of RNA processing occurs during the removal of a large portion of the RNA molecule during RNA splicing.
• Most eukaryotic genes and their RNA transcripts have long noncoding stretches of nucleotides.– Noncoding segments, introns, lie between coding
regions.– The final mRNA transcript includes coding regions,
exons, that are translated into amino acid sequences, plus the leader and trailer sequences.
![Page 39: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• RNA splicing removes introns and joins exons to create an mRNA molecule with a continuous coding sequence.
![Page 40: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• This splicing is accomplished by a spliceosome.– spliceosomes consist of a variety of proteins and
several small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs).– Each snRNP has several protein molecules and a
small nuclear RNA molecule (snRNA).• Each is about 150 nucleotides long.
![Page 41: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
(1) Pre-mRNA combineswith snRNPs and otherproteins to form aspliceosome.
(2) Within the spliceosome,snRNA base-pairs withnucleotides at the ends ofthe intron.
(3) The RNA transcript is cut to release the intron, and the exons are spliced together; the spliceosome then comes apart, releasing mRNA, which now contains only exons.
![Page 42: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• In this process, the snRNA acts as a ribozyme, an RNA molecule that functions as an enzyme.
• Like pre-mRNA, other kinds of primary transcripts may also be spliced, but by diverse mechanisms that do not involve spliceosomes.
• In a few cases, intron RNA can catalyze its own excision without proteins or extra RNA molecules.
• The discovery of ribozymes rendered obsolete the statement, “All biological catalysts are proteins.”
![Page 43: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• RNA splicing appears to have several functions.– First, at least some introns contain sequences that
control gene activity in some way.– Splicing itself may regulate the passage of mRNA
from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.– One clear benefit of split genes is to enable a one
gene to encode for more than one polypeptide.
• Alternative RNA splicing gives rise to two or more different polypeptides, depending on which segments are treated as exons.– Early results of the Human Genome Project indicate
that this phenomenon may be common in humans.
![Page 44: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
• Split genes may also facilitate the evolution of new proteins.
• Proteins often have amodular architecturewith discrete structuraland functional regionscalled domains.
• In many cases, different exons code for different domains of a protein.
![Page 45: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• The presence of introns increases the probability of potentially beneficial crossing over between genes.– Introns increase the opportunity for recombination
between two alleles of a gene.• This raises the probability that a crossover will switch one
version of an exon for another version found on the homologous chromosome.
– There may also be occasional mixing and matching of exons between completely different genes.
– Either way, exon shuffling could lead to new proteins through novel combinations of functions.
![Page 46: Biochem synthesis of rna(june.23.2010)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052823/555044c4b4c9058f768b4cc8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Transcription vs. Translation Review
Transcription• Process by which
genetic information encoded in DNA is copied onto messenger RNA
• Occurs in the nucleus
• DNA mRNA
Translation• Process by which
