Resource summary
RNA
Ribose Nucleic Acid
Single stranded
Uracil NOT Thymine
Shorter than DNA
mRNA
messenger RNA
Carries 'message' that codes for a particular protein
From Nucleus to Cytoplasm
Single stranded, linear structure
Codons
TRANSCRIPTION
RNA Synthesis
DNA Helicase breaks the Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs
Start of gene on DNA = marked by a sequence of bases - promoter
RNA nucleotides attach to bases on DNA by complementary base pairing
only 1 RNA strand = made
Other strand = copy - non-template strand
DNA strand copied = template
New nucleotide bases = joined by strong covalent phosphodiester bonds - enzyme RNA Polymerase
Only ~8 base pairs are attached at a time, mRNA peels off from DNA as it's made - DNA polymerase rewinds the strand
End of a gene = stop codon - transcription stops
mRNA = length of a gene
POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL MODIFICATION
Splicing
Introns = removed
Exons = rejoined
Mature mRNA
mRNA diffuses out of nucleus through nuclear pore into cytoplasm
Attaches to ribosome
Found near nucleus - Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum = attached to nuclear envelope
Adenine Guanine Cytosine Uracil
DNA -- pre-mRNA
TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS
Gene = expressed through TRANSCRIPTION and TRANSLATION - into proteins
Give cells their function
Pre-mRNA
Eukaryotic DNA = exons and introns
Code for polypeptides
Prokaryotic DNA = exons only
Short lifetime - degraded soon after used
contains only 1 gene ~100 nucleotides
siRNA
Small interfering RNA
Control of Gene Expression
tRNA
Clover structure
Anticodons
transfer RNA
TRANSLATION
ribosome attaches to mRNA at initiation codon
Ribosome encloses two codons
tRNA molecule with amino acid attached diffuses into ribosome
Anticodon attaches to mRNA - complementary base pairing
Next codon is read by the ribosome - next tRNA joins - complementary base pairing
Bond between amino acid and tRNA is cut
New bond between amino acids = peptide bond
Catalysed by ribozymes
Ribosome moves along so amino acid-tRNA can attach
Free tRNA leaves to a new complementary amino acid
Repeats until a stop codon is reached and the polypeptide chain moves away, folding into a protein
Ribosome falls apart - protein = finished
One mRNA strand = translated by ribosomes simultaneously
rRNA
ribosomal RNA
rRNA + protein = ribosomes
Site of mRNA translation and protein synthesis
2 sub-units = small and large
Made in nucleolus and exported to cytoplasm
Coded for by many genes in many different chromosomes
