How do genes control metabolism
• In 1909, Archibald Garrod first proposed the relationship between genes and proteins.
• “Genes dictate phenotypes through enzymes that catalyze specific chemical processes in the cell.”
• Example: Alkaptonuria – Urine appears dark red because it contains alkapton, that darkens upon exposure to air. – Wild Type Individuals have an enzyme to break the chemical
down.– Mutant Individuals do not produce the enzyme, thus unable
to metabolize alkapton.

Smooth bacteria have a polysaccharide coat that appears to be necessary for infection. Heating will destroy the coat, but not the DNA.

Conclusion: DNA is the transforming factor! NOT PROTEINS!
Transformation is the intake of external molecules from an outside source. It is now associated with “naked” DNA.

Deciphering the Structure of DNA
• Phoebus Levene – – 1909 – Ribose is present in some nucleic acids– 1929 – Deoxyribose is discovered in others

Chromosomal Mutation• Duplication • Deletion• Translocation• Inversion
![Page 12: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Components of Transcription
• Initiation– Promoter – Sigma Factor– RNA Polymerase– DNA Template Strand
• Elongation– RNA Nucleotides
• Termination– Rho Protein– Terminator Sequence
![Page 14: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transcription in Prokaryotes
• RNA polymerase cannot initiate transcription on its own. A protein (sigma) must bind before transcription can begin.
• RNA Polymerase + Sigma = HOLOENZYME • When a holoenzyme + DNA mix, the enzyme will
attach to only specific regions on the DNA which they now refer to as PROMOTERS. Specifically positions 10 and 35 nucleotides upstream from the gene. (TTGACA…..TATAAT) Memorize this sequence!!
![Page 15: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Promoter sequence is found on the Coding Strand• The mRNA sequence is complementary to the
Template strand, though • The sigma appeared to be responsible for guiding
the RNA polymerase to specific locations. • The sigma will release once initiation has
commenced. – Roughly 15 nucleotides into the transcription process
![Page 17: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Promoter Sequence• 20 – 25 base pairs long. • Similar segment of DNA had a series of bases
identical or similar to TATAAT. – Referred to as the TATA box.
![Page 18: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Termination of transcription process
• Rho Independent– Hairpin Loop
• Inverted repeats creates a pairing on the single strand– AGCCCGCC ………….GGCGGGCT
• Followed by a long series of UUUUUUUUUU
-- Causes the RNA polymerase to cleave the transcript• Rho Dependent– RNA polymerase stalls over the termination sequence– Rho enzyme catches up to RNA polymerase..binds to
the enzyme, which causes cleavage to occur.

![Page 21: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Translation in Prokaryotes
• A large and small subunit assemble onto the mRNA. The small subunit will attach to what is called the Shine-Dalgarno Sequence on the mRNA. – A 6 base sequence upstream 8 bases from the AUG
start codon. The rRNA sequence within the small subunit will attach.
– Shine-Dalgarno Sequence – AGGAGG– Anti Shine-Dalgarno Sequence (found on the
ribosome) - UCCUCC
![Page 22: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote
• Prokaryotes have the Shine Dalgarno sequence because prokaryotes will place multiple genes on ONE mRNA strand along with multiple AUG sequences embedded within the gene.
• The shine-dalgarno sequence will establish which AUG sequence is the true “initiator AUG”
• Eukaryotes only make 1 gene mRNA sequence, so no Shine Dalgarno sequence is used.
![Page 23: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Translation in Prokaryotes
• The large subunit will attach and attract the first tRNA molecule. Loading in at the P-site of the ribosome.
![Page 24: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PCR – Directing DNA Replication
• 1. Figure out the DNA sequence• 2. Two Types of DNA Primers (Forward and
Reverse Primers)• 3. A large supply of DNA nucleotides• 4. Taq1 polymerase – a specific type of
polymerase found in hot spring microbes
![Page 25: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Process
• 1. Heat• 2. Primers and DNA polymerase are added
(cooled)• 3. Single nucleotides then are mixed• 4. Cycle continues
![Page 26: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What’s wrong with this image?
![Page 27: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
How much can be made?
• 2n
• n = the number of temperature cycles
![Page 28: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Repairing Mistakes in DNA Synthesis
• Replication forks work at 50 bases per second• Errors = one mistake per billion• HUMAN REPLICATION– 6 billion nucleotides– Cells are replicated to create trillions of cells
![Page 29: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
DNA Polymerase Proofreading in Prokaryotes
• DNA polymerase acts as an exonuclease – (an enzyme that removes nucleotides from DNA)
• DNA polymerase III can remove nucleotides only from the 3’ end of the DNA, and only if they are not hydrogen bonded to a base on the complementary strand.
• If a wrong base is added during DNA synthesis, the enzyme pauses, removes the mismatched base that was just added, and then proceeds with synthesis.
![Page 30: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Eukaryotic DNA polymerases
• Have the same type of proofreading ability – reduces error rate to about 1 in 10 million bases.
• At this rate there would be 600 mistakes every time a human cell replicated
![Page 31: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Three Types of DNA Repair
• 1. Mismatch Repair• 2. Thymine Dimer Repair• 3. Excision Repair
![Page 32: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Mismatch Repair
• When DNA polymerase doesn’t fix the problem, other enzymes spring into action. Responsible for “mismatch repair”
• The first repair enzyme is known as mutS.• “mutatorS”
![Page 33: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Which base is right?
• Hypothesis: At the conclusion of a replication process, a methyl group is added. So the proofreading enzyme will remove the nucleotide from the unmethylated strand.

Xeroderma Pigmentosum: A Case Study (DNA Repair Disorder)
• An autosomal recessive disease in humans. • Extreme sensitivity to UV light. Skin will develop
lesions after even slight exposure to sunlight. • UV Light will cause a covalent bond to form
between adjacent Thymines on a DNA strand. • Creates a kink in the secondary structure of DNA. • Causes a stall in the replication fork during
replication.

![Page 37: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Study
• Cells of “normal” individuals versus cells of XP individuals.
• Exposed cells to UV radiation.• Added radioactive Thymines to the cell which
should be incorporated IF repair occurs. • High amount of radioactive Thymines in the
normal and virtual no radioactive thymines in the XP individuals.

DNA Excision Repair
• Uvr A, Uvr B, Uvr C, and Uvr D– “Ultraviolet Light Repair”

Do humans have mismatch repair genes?
• The research accelerated when mutS gene was identified and then research found a similar gene in a yeast genome.
• The genes were so similar, they called them homologous.
• Using the sequences from the genes, they located a similar sequence in the human gene – known as hMSH (human mutS homolog)
![Page 42: Friedrich Miescher – Isolateds nuclei from WBC in pus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062310/5681652e550346895dd7b214/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Link between cancer and mismatch repair
• Cells from these patients have a mutation rate 100 times the normal.
• People who inherit a nonfunctional copy of the hMSH gene have a genetic predisposition for developing HNPCC. (hereditary colon cancer)
• Evidence: Individuals who have this form of colon cancer have uneven repeats of sequences in their DNA (usually fixed in DNA repair).

Ataxia Telangiectasis (AT)
• Defect in the enzyme KINASE. • Cells proceed through the checkpoints. (high
mutation rate)• Radiation Sensitivity– Increased risk of breast cancer. – Any problems?
