DISCOVERY OF THE GENETIC CODE
1928: Frederick Griffith (studied how bacteria cause pneumonia)
![Page 7: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Griffith Experiment 11. Grew 2 strains of bacteria on
plates
- smooth colonies- caused disease (virulent)
- rough edge colonies-did not cause disease
(avirulent)
2. Injected into mice
Results:- smooth colonies: died- rought colonies: lived
Conclusion: bacteria didn’t produce a toxin
to kill mice
![Page 8: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Griffith Experiment 21. Injected mice with heat
killed virulent strain
2. Injected mice with non -virulent strain + heat killed virulent strain
Results:- heat killed: lived
- mixed strains: mice developed pneumonia
Conclusion: heat killed virulent strain passed disease causing abilities to non virulent strain
![Page 9: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
After Experiment
Cultured bacteria from dead mice and they grew virulent strain.
Griffith hypothesized that a factor was transferred from heat killed cells
to live cells .
TRANSFORMATION
![Page 10: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1944: Avery (et al)
1. Repeated Griffith’s experiment with same results.
- result: transformation occurred
2. Did a second experiment using enzymes that would destroy RNA.
- result: transformation occurred
3. Did third experiment using enzymes that would destroy DNA.
- result: no transformation
CONCLUSION DNA was transforming factor

1952: Hershey / Chase - studied how viruses (bacteriophage) affect bacteria.
Bacteriophage
Virus composed of DNA core and protein coat
![Page 12: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How Bacteriophages Work
1. bacteriophage attaches to surface of bacteria and
injects DNA
2. bacteria makes phage DNA
3. bacterial cell bursts
4. sends out new phages to infect more bacteria

Hershey Chase Experiment1. They labeled virus protein
coat with radioactive sulfur
2. They labeled virus DNA with radioactive phosphorous
Result observed that bacteria
hadphosphorous
*** virus injected bacterial cells with its phosphorous labeled DNA***
Conclusion DNA carried genetic code
since bacteria made new DNA.

Early 1950’s: Rosalind Franklin (English)
x ray evidence:X pattern showed that fibers of DNA twisted and molecules are spaced at regular intevals on length
fiber.
Maurice Wilkins: x ray diffraction, worked with Franklin

1950’s Watson (American) & Crick (English)
**double helix model**won Nobel prize in 1962
![Page 17: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
DNA- double strand of nucleotides
- may have 1000’s of nucleotides in 1 strand
(very long molecule)
- bases join up in specific (complementary) pairs:
• complementary pairs (base pairing rules)
1 purine bonds with 1 pyrimidine on one rung of the ladder connected by a weak H bond
C - GA – T
Order of nucleotides not important, proper complementary bases must be paired.
![Page 18: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Same time period:
Chargaff (American biochemist)
Chargaff’s Rule:

REPLICATION OF DNA
Process of duplication of DNA
- Before cell can divide a new copy of DNA must be made for the new cell
- Semiconservative replication: each strand acts as a template (pattern)
for new strand to be made
End Result: one old strand, one new daughter strand
![Page 22: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
DNA REPLICATION
![Page 23: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Models of DNA Replication
![Page 24: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Steps of Replication1. Enzyme DNA helicase attaches to DNA molecule and unwinds
2 strands at various points on the strand (breaks H bonds so strand unwinds)
- replication forks: two areas on either end of the DNA where double helix separates
- forms replication bubble: “bubble” under electron microscope
![Page 25: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2. Enzyme DNA polymerase moves along each of DNA strand and adds complementary bases of nucleotides floating freely in nucleus
A. DNA polymerase begins synthesis at RNA primer segment
- enzyme RNA Primase lays down this section on
DNA strand
- RNA primer segment signals
beginning of replication
![Page 26: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DNA Directionality
![Page 27: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
- directionality: DNA polymerase reads the template in the 3’ to 5’ direction
Daughter DNA strand (since it is complementary) must be synthesized in the 5’ to 3’ direction
Strands are antiparallel.
![Page 28: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
But if there exist no DNA polymerasescapable of polymerizing DNA in the
3' to 5' direction, how could this be?
![Page 29: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Discontinuous synthesis
- synthesis only occurs when a large amount of single strand DNA is present
- daughter DNA is then synthesized in 5’ to 3’ direction
- leading and lagging strands:
- leading strand – continuously synthesized DNA strand
- lagging strand - delayed, fragmented, daughter DNA
- Okazaki fragments- discontinuous fragmented DNA segments
![Page 30: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
D. DNA ligase stitches together Okazaki fragments into a single, unfragmented daughter molecule
E. enzyme chops off RNA primer and replaces it with DNA
![Page 31: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
3. DNA polymerase catalyzes formation of H bonds between nucleotides of template and newly arriving nucleotides which will form daughter DNA
4. Once all DNA is copied, daughter DNA detaches

End Replication Problem
- On one end, RNA primer cannot be replaced with DNA because it is a 5’ (DNA polymerase can only read from 3’ to 5’)
- Causes daughter DNA’s to be shorter with each replication (cell division)
3’__________________________________ 5’
5’-------------------------------------------------- 3’
5’__________________________________ 33’-------------------------------------------------5’
![Page 33: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Solution to End Replication Problem
telomeres: regions of repeated non coding sequences at end of chromosomes (protective sacrificial ends)
- become shorter with repeated cell divisions- once telomeres are gone, coding sections of chrom. are lost and cell does not have enough DNA to function
***telomere theory of aging***
- telomerase: special enzyme that contains an RNA template molecule so that telomeres can be added back on to DNA
(rebuilds telomeres)
** found in: Cancer cells - immortal in culture Stem cells
** not found in most differentiated cells

Speed of Replication• Multiple replication forks- replication occurs simultaneously on
many points of the DNA molecule
• Would take 16 days to replicate 1 strand from one end to the other on a fruit fly DNA without multiple forks
• Actually takes ~ 3 minutes / 6000 sites replicate at one time
• Human chromosome replicated in about 8 hours with multiple replication forks working together
![Page 35: DNA. What is the major component of all cells? PROTEINS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070403/56649f295503460f94c41aff/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Accuracy and Repair
• Cell has proofreading functions
• DNA polymerase can remove damaged nucleotides and replace with new ones for accurate replication
• RNA does not have this ability- reason RNA viruses mutate so much
• DNA damaged by heat, radiation, chemicals and other factors
