17.2 Kinds of RNAstransfer RNA (tRNA)
transfers amino acids to the site of protein synthesis (ribosomes)
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)rRNA forms ribosomes by reacting
with proteinsmessenger RNA (mRNA)
mRNA directs the AA sequence of proteins

17P2-3
tRNAThere is at least one tRNA (and often
several) for each AA to be incorporated into a protein.
tRNA is single stranded with typically about 75 nucleotides.
Intrachain hydrogen bonding (A=U and G=C) occurs to gives regions called stems with an -helix
The overall structure is called a cloverleaf in a L-shaped conformation.

17P2-4
tRNA-2Two structural motifs in tRNA allow it to
perform its critical function.The 3’ terminus forms a covalent bond
with a specific amino acid.The anticodon loop contains a three-
base-pair sequence complimentary to the DNA triplet code for an amino acid.

17P2-5
tRNA-3tRNA also has:
A D loop (contains dihydrouridine)A TC loop which contains the base
sequence thymine, pseusouridine, cytosine.
A variable loop with usually 4-5 nucleotides but up to 20.
The features above presumably relate to binding to a protein or to the ribosome.

rRNARibosomal RNA is the most abundant
form and makes up 80% cellular RNA.Ribosomal RNA molecules are large and
are found in the ribososmes.Ribosome composition:
60-65% mass in rRNA35-40% mass in protein
Ribosome subunits:two: a large and a small
![Page 9: Chapter 17: Outline](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/5681438a550346895db008d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
17P2-9
Ribosomal subunits: 11. Small: 1 RNA + ~20 proteins2. Large: 2 RNA + ~35 proteins(procaryotes)
3 RNA + ~50 proteins(eucaryotes)
Subunits easily separated by lowering the Mg2+ concentration.
Analytical ultracentrifuge separates subunits based on size and shape.The Svedberg (S) measures the
sedimentation coefficient of the subunit

mRNAmRNA is the least abundant RNA (5-10%)mRNA is the carrier of the genetic
message from DNA. A three base sequence on the mRNA codes for the AA to be incorporated in the growing protein chain.
Shows frequent turnover.Chain length varies with the length of the
protein to be coded.

mRNA-2Many prokaryotic mRNAs are poly-
cistronic, they contain information for several poylpeptides. Eukaryotic mRNA is typically monocistronic.
Prokaryotic mRNAs are translated in to proteins immediately after synthesis but eukaryotic mRNAs are extensively processed before translation.
![Page 12: Chapter 17: Outline](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/5681438a550346895db008d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
17P2-12
Other RNAsHeterogeneous RNA (hnRNA) are the
primary transcripts of DNA and the precursors of mRNA.
Small nuclear ribonuclearprotein particles (snRNP or “snurps”) are involved in splicing mRNA by removing the introns from the hnRNA.

17.3 VirusesViruses lack most properties that are
associated with life.A virus is a mobile genetic element.
A piece of nucleic acid with a protective coat.
It’s nucleic acid hijacks a cells machinery for making nucleic acids and proteins.

Viral StructureVirons (complete viral particles) range
from 10 to 400 nm in diameter.A simple viron consists of:
Capsid: an interlocking protein coatMost capsids are helical or icosahedral
Nucleic acid: DNA or RNAdsDNA, ssDNA, ssDNA, dsRNA(most are double stranded DNA (dsDNA))
![Page 15: Chapter 17: Outline](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070407/5681438a550346895db008d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
17P2-15
Viral Structure-2Two types of ssRNA genomes1. Positive-sense acts as a giant RNA
molecule and directs synthesis of long viral polypeptide which is cleaved to smaller pieces.
2. Negative-sense is complimentary in base sequence to the mRNA directing viral protein synthesis. (Need transcriptase enzyme)
In complex viruses, the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a membrane envelope.

The HIV VirusHIV is a retrovirus that contains reverse
transcriptase activity enabling it to make DNA from vRNA.
vDNA inserts into the host cell genome, destroying the immune system.
The next two slides depict the HIV virus and its life cycle.
