• DNA RNA Protein
Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic Transcription
Prokaryotic Transcription-takes place in cytoplasm -circular DNA w/no histones-no introns / no mRNA processing
Eukaryotic Transcription -takes place in nucleus -DNA has histones and linear-introns and mRNA processing
Prokaryotic Transcription
1. Initiation – RNA polymerase binds to promoter
2. Elongation – RNA polymerase reads template 3’-5’ and builds mRNA strand 5’-3’
3. Termination – mRNA is released …forms hairpin loop.
STEPS
Eukaryotic Transcription1. Initiation – Transcription factors
adhere to the TATA box in the promoter signaling RNA Polymerase II to attach. Additional transcription factors attach and the transcription initiation complex is formed. Enhancers/silencers
2. Elongation – RNA Polymerase II unzips the DNA and pairs the template withcomplementary mRNA nucleotides.
3. Termination – RNA Polymerase II reaches the polyadenylation (AAUAAA)
sequence and releases the pre-mRNA.
*Gene expression is most often regulated at transcription

Transcription
mRNA processing
mRNA Processing (takes place in the nucleus)1. Add 5’ cap (guanine with 3 phosphates) 2. Add Poly A tail (repeated Adenines)3. Introns (non coding regions) cut out4. Exons (coding regions) fused together
snRNPs (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins)
• snRNPs- small nuclear RNA– RNA and proteins
• Spliceosome - several snRNPs that carry out RNA splicing
Spliceosome Animation
RibozymeRibozyme – RNA that functions as an enzyme-splicing without proteins!
How: 1. Single stranded and forms 3-D structure2. Bases in RNA contain functional groups that may catalyze rxns. 3. Forms hydrogen bonds

proteinPsssst…no nucleus!
• Transcription & translation are simultaneous in bacteria – DNA is in
cytoplasm– no mRNA
editing – ribosomes
read mRNA as it is being transcribed
Translation in Prokaryotes
Translation: prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes• Differences between prokaryotes &
eukaryotes– time & physical separation between processes• takes eukaryote ~1 hour
from DNA to protein– RNA processing

The code• Code for ALL life!
– strongest support for a common origin for all life
• Code is redundant– several codons for each
amino acid– 3rd base “wobble”
Start codon AUG methionine
Stop codons UGA, UAA, UAG
Why is thewobble good?

Transfer RNA structure• “Clover leaf” structure– anticodon on “clover leaf” end– amino acid attached on 3 end
tRNA – “Wobble”
Inosine can pair with C, A, U allowing for less tRNA’s, More relaxed at the 3rd base position.
Loading tRNA • Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase – enzyme which bonds amino acid to tRNA– bond requires energy
• ATP AMP– energy stored in tRNA-amino acid bond
• unstable• so it can release amino acid at ribosome easily

APE
• A site (aminoacyl-tRNA site) – holds tRNA carrying next amino acid to be
added to chain • P site (peptidyl-tRNA site) – holds tRNA carrying growing polypeptide chain
• E site (exit site)– empty tRNA
leaves ribosome from exit site

Building a polypeptide
• Initiation– brings together mRNA, ribosome
subunits, initiator tRNA
• Elongation– adding amino acids based on codon
sequence
• Termination– end codon 123
