RNA polymerase enzyme involved
Specific sequences of nucleotides along the DNA mark where the transcription begin (promoter site) and
ends (terminator site)
The stretch of DNA that is transcribed into mRNA is called a transcription unit
mRNA elongates in its 5’ to 3’ direction

1) RNA polymerase binding and initiation
RNA polymerase recognize and attaches to promoter site on DNA.
Enzyme begins to separate the DNA strand . Segment of DNA strand unwind.
![Page 15: DNA & genetic information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568161b1550346895dd17545/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
As RNA polymerase moves along the template of DNA, complementary RNA nucleotides pair with DNA nucleotides of the strand.
RNA polymerase joins the RNA nucleotides together in the 5’ to 3’ direction
![Page 16: DNA & genetic information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568161b1550346895dd17545/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
3) Termination Elongation of mRNA continues until RNA
polymerase reaches a terminator site on the DNA
Terminator site causes the RNA polymerase to stop transcribing DNA and release the mRNA
mRNA will leave the nucleus through the nucleus pore to the cytoplasm

Formation of mRNA strand from 5’ to 3’
Most eukaryotic genes have interrupted coding sequence, exons and introns
- Exon : A nucleotide sequence in a gene that codes for parts or all of the gene product and is therefore expressed in mature mRNA.- Intron : A nucleotide sequence in a gene that does not
code for gene product. : It usually transcribed in eukaryotes into mRNA but subsequently removed from transcript before translation. ExonExon Intron Intron Intron
![Page 19: DNA & genetic information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568161b1550346895dd17545/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
A pre-mRNA contains both exon and intron sequencesIntrons must be removed and the exons spliced together to form a continuous protein-coding message

Genetic code Genetic code: Base triplet in DNA provides a
template for ordering the complementary triplet in mRNA molecule.
Every base triplet is code for ONE amino acid.(very specific, almost universal)
Three bases of an mRNA codon are designated as first, second and third bases.

Genetic code There are only FOUR nucleotide
bases, to specify 20 amino acids; A-adenine, C-cytosine, G-guanine, T-
thymine (unique to DNA), U-uracil (unique to RNA) [pyrimidine, very similar to thymine].
Flow of information from gene to protein is based on triplet code.

1. Give ONE reason why DNA from the nucleus is not esed directly by the ribosome for the translation process.
less chances of damage to the DNA
A cell cannot directly translate a gene’s base triplets into amino acids.

An mRNA molecule is complementary rather than identical to its DNA
template according to base-pairing rules.
A-U, T-A, C-G, G-C
mRNA base triplets are called codons.
![Page 29: DNA & genetic information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568161b1550346895dd17545/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A triplet of nucleotides within a molecule of messenger RNA that functions as a unit of genetic coding, usually by specifying a particular amino acid during the synthesis of proteins in a cell
* also refer to any corresponding nucleotide triplets of DNA that transcribed into codons
![Page 30: DNA & genetic information](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568161b1550346895dd17545/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Consist of triplet bases (3 bases)
One codon code for one amino acid
Codon are complementary to anticodon
A few codons specify instructions during protein synthesis (start & stop codon)
Customarily written in 5’ to 3’ direction

Initiation codon Codon AUG is a starter to the process of translation.
Codon AUG has dual function, as a start signal / initiation codon and it also code for amino acid methionine (Met).
Polypeptide chains begin with methionine
An enzyme may subsequently remove starter amino acid from chain.

Termination codon
Three triplet bases of STOP signal: UAA, UAG, UGA.
marking the end of a genetic code , and the completed polypeptide chain is released from the ribosome..
Genetic massages begin with the mRNA codon AUG, which signals the protein- synthesizing machinery to begin translating the mRNA at the location.

Noticed that U only can be found on mRNA strand, substitute for T (only on DNA strand).
U on mRNA pairs with A on DNA strand, while T on DNA strand pairs with A on mRNA.
