10 BASE AIRIG A T G C 82

11 UCLEIC ACIDS replication DA transcription RA translation RTEIS 1. Replication: copying of DA during cell division synthesis of complementary strands (enzyme DA polymerase, from 5' 3') in humans: 3 billion pairs are copied in minutes with ppb error rate! 2. Transcription: transferring of genetic message from DA (in the nucleus) into RA the template (antisense) strand of DA is transcribed into messenger RA copying starts at promoter sites and stops at "stop" signals; a "bubble" forms (5' 3' ) final mra is formed after introns are cut (only exons) 83

12 UCLEIC ACIDS 3. Translation: decoding of the genetic message from RA to protein sequences three letter codons are used to translate the code into amino acid structure; 64 codons; 61 codes for amino acids (redundant!) and 3 code for "stop" the translation takes place in ribosomes (60% ribosomal RA, rra; 40% protein) individual amino acids are introduced by transfer RA (tra); there are 61 of them 5' 3' A U A G A C G G A U A C G C C mra (codons) U A U C U G C C U A U G C G G tra (anticodons) Ile Asp Gly Tyr Ala amino acid bound to tra Ile-Asp-Gly-Tyr-Ala protein product 84

13 DA SEQUECIG 1. Maxim-Gilbert (chemical cleavage) i) DA is cleaved at specific sites by restriction enzymes ii) the restriction fragments are labeled with radioactive 32 at 5' end, heated to get single strands, and the strands are separated iii) each strand is treated with four parallel set of chemicals that cleave the strand at specific sites (next to A, G, C and T and C) under conditions that only a few (one) splits occurs iv) each of the four mixtures is separated in parallel by electrophoresis (smaller pieces migrate faster) and the gel is exposed to a photographic plate v) the bands allow the sequence to be read directly from the gel (up to 600 s per gel can be analyzed) 2. Sanger (dideoxy method; enzymatic) i) restriction fragments are produced as above ii) small DA fragments, called primers, labeled at 5' with radioactive 32 or 35 S are added iv) in four separate batches four different deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are added containing small amount of the corresponding dideoxynucleoside triphosphate; the enzyme (DA polymerase) synthesizes the complementary sequences that are terminated by the dideoxynucleoside v) the four reactions are analyzed on the gel, as described above (most recent version use fluorescent dyes) 85
