DNA : TACGCGTATACCGACATT Transcription Will Make Mrna From

Transcription and Translation Practice: Name _____________________________________ Background: • DNA controls our traits • DNA is found in the nucleus of our cells • Our traits are controlled by proteins • DNA is the instructions to make proteins • Proteins are made in ribosomes (outside the nucleus) • Proteins are made of amino acids Transcription makes RNA from DNA • RNA is complementary to DNA • RNA can leave the nucleus (DNA cannot) Translation makes proteins using RNA • Takes place at the ribosome • mRNA is “read” to put together a protein from amino acids Example: Beyonce has brown eyes. Her eyes look brown because her DNA codes for a brown pigment in the cells of her eyes. This is the gene that codes for brown eyes. DNA : T A C G C G T A T A C C G A C A T T Transcription will make mRNA from DNA mRNA: A U G C G C _________________________ Transcription will join amino acids to make the protein Rules for Transcription: Methionine - Arginine - ____________________________________ Base of DNA → Base in mRNA A → U Rules of Translation: C → G Three letters of mRNA = a codon G → C A codon “codes” for an amino acid We use the “Genetic Code” to determine the amino acids T → A RNA contains Uracil instead of Thymine The complete chain of amino acids will complete the protein that will give Beyonce her brown eyes. If you have brown eyes you have the same protein. If you have blue or green eyes your DNA sequence is a little different which will make the amino acid sequence (protein) a little different. Now try these examples: First transcribe the DNA into mRNA and then use the genetic code to translate the mRNA into an amino acid sequence. 1.

Genetic Code
AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education Page 1 of 9 www.accessscience.com Genetic code Contributed by: P. Schimmel, K. Ewalt Publication year: 2014 The rules by which the base sequences of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are translated into the amino acid sequences of proteins. Each sequence of DNA that codes for a protein is transcribed or copied ( Fig. 1 ) into messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). Following the rules of the code, discrete elements in the mRNA, known as codons, specify each of the 20 different amino acids that are the constituents of proteins. In a process called translation, the cell decodes the message in mRNA. During translation ( Fig. 2 ), another class of RNAs, called transfer RNAs (tRNAs), are coupled to amino acids, bind to the mRNA, and in a step-by-step fashion provide the amino acids that are linked together in the order called for by the mRNA sequence. The speciﬁc attachment of each amino acid to the appropriate tRNA, and the precise pairing of tRNAs via their anticodons to the correct codons in the mRNA, form the basis of the genetic code. See also: DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA) ; PROTEIN ; RIBONUCLEIC ACID (RNA) . Universal genetic code The genetic information in DNA is found in the sequence or order of four bases that are linked together to form each strand of the two-stranded DNA molecule. The bases of DNA are adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine, which are abbreviated A, G, T, and C. Chemically, A and G are purines, and C and T are pyrimidines. The two strands of DNA are wound about each other in a double helix that looks like a twisted ladder (Fig.

Genetic Code: a New Understanding of Codon – Amino Acid Assignment
GENETIC CODE: A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF CODON – AMINO ACID ASSIGNMENT Zvonimir M. Damjanović* and Miloje M. Rakočević** *Montenegrin Academy of science and arts (CANU), Podgorica, Montenegro ** Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Niš, Serbia (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict AAs positions; more exactly, with AAs ordinal number in three variants; first variant 00-19, second 00-21 and third 00-20. The ordinal number follows from the positions of belonging codons, i.e. their digrams (or “doublets”). The reading itself is a reading in quaternary numbering system if four bases possess the values within a specific logical square: A = 0, C = 1, G = 2, U = 3. By this, all splittings, distinctions and classifications of AAs appear to be in accordance to atom and nucleon number balance as well as to the other physico-chemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and polarity.

His solution was the so called “diamond code” (Gamow, 1954) in which 64 codons were classified into 20 classes, corresponding to 20 AAs (Hayes, 1998: “Symmetries of the diamond code sort the 64 codons into 20 classes ..

Non-Coding Transcription Influences the Replication Initiation Program Through Chromatin Regulation

Among the parameters that regulate this program in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chromatin structure has been at the center of attention without considering the contribution of transcription. Here, we revisit the replication initiation program in the light of widespread genomic non-coding transcription. We find that non-coding RNA transcription termination in the vicinity of ARS (Autonomously Replicating Sequences) shields replication initiation from transcriptional readthrough. Consistently, high natural nascent transcription correlates with low ARS efficiency and late replication timing. High readthrough transcription is also linked to increased nucleosome occupancy and high levels of H3K36me3. Moreover, forcing ARS readthrough transcription promotes these chromatin features. Finally, replication initiation defects induced by increased transcriptional readthrough are partially rescued in the absence of H3K36 methylation. Altogether, these observations indicate that natural non-coding transcription into ARS influences replication initiation through chromatin regulation. 2 Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 9, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press INTRODUCTION DNA replication is a fundamental process occurring in all living organisms and ensuring accurate duplication of the genome.

Transcription Study Guide This Study Guide Is a Written Version of the Material You Have Seen Presented in the Transcription Unit
Transcription Study Guide This study guide is a written version of the material you have seen presented in the transcription unit. The cell’s DNA contains the instructions for carrying out the work of the cell. These instructions are used by the cell’s protein-making machinery to create proteins. If the cell’s DNA were directly read by the protein-making machinery, however, it could be damaged and the process would be slow and cumbersome. The cell avoids this problem by copying genetic information from its DNA into an intermediate called messenger RNA (mRNA). It is this mRNA that is read by the cell’s protein-making machinery. This process is called transcription. Components In this section you will be introduced to the components involved in the process of RNA synthesis, called transcription. This process requires an enzyme that uses many nucleotide bases to copy the instructions present in DNA into an intermediate messenger RNA molecule. RNA What is RNA? · Like DNA, RNA is a polymer made up of nucleotides. · Unlike DNA, which is composed of two strands of nucleotides twisted together, RNA is single-stranded. It can also sometimes fold into complex three-dimensional structures. · RNA contains the same nucleotides as DNA, with the substitution of uraciluridine (U) for thymidine (T). · RNA is chemically different from DNA so that the cell can easily tell the two apart. · In this animation, you will see one type of RNA, messenger RNA, being put together. · There are three types of RNA: mRNA, which you will read more about; tRNA, which is used in the translation process, and rRNA, which acts as a structural element in the ribosome (a translation component).

Consequences and Resolution of Transcription–Replication Conflicts
life Review Consequences and Resolution of Transcription–Replication Conflicts Maxime Lalonde †, Manuel Trauner †, Marcel Werner † and Stephan Hamperl * Institute of Epigenetics and Stem Cells (IES), Helmholtz Zentrum München, 81377 Munich, Germany; [email protected] (M.L.); [email protected] (M.T.); [email protected] (M.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally. Abstract: Transcription–replication conflicts occur when the two critical cellular machineries respon- sible for gene expression and genome duplication collide with each other on the same genomic location. Although both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have evolved multiple mechanisms to coordinate these processes on individual chromosomes, it is now clear that conflicts can arise due to aberrant transcription regulation and premature proliferation, leading to DNA replication stress and genomic instability. As both are considered hallmarks of aging and human diseases such as cancer, understanding the cellular consequences of conflicts is of paramount importance. In this article, we summarize our current knowledge on where and when collisions occur and how these en- counters affect the genome and chromatin landscape of cells. Finally, we conclude with the different cellular pathways and multiple mechanisms that cells have put in place at conflict sites to ensure the resolution of conflicts and accurate genome duplication.
