The protein synthesis process involves two main steps: transcription and translation. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to DNA and synthesizes mRNA using the DNA as a template. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm. During translation, ribosomes and tRNA molecules work together to translate the mRNA into a polypeptide chain by linking amino acids in the specified order. The polypeptide then folds into the final tertiary protein structure.
Protein synthesis begins with the transcription of DNA into mRNA within the nucleus. RNA polymerase separates the DNA strands and copies the coding region of DNA into a mRNA strand until reaching the termination sequence. The mRNA strand then exits the nucleus and binds to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome according to the mRNA codons. The amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain until a stop codon is reached. The polypeptide chain folds into its tertiary structure to become a functional protein.

The document describes the two-stage process of protein synthesis: transcription and translation. In transcription, RNA polymerase copies DNA in the nucleus to produce mRNA.

Ribosomes are organelles found in all cells that are responsible for protein biosynthesis. They are composed of ribosomal RNA and structural proteins.

Prokaryotic transcription occurs in the cytoplasm and requires the RNA polymerase enzyme, which binds to promoter regions on DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription starts at the promoter and ends at a termination signal, and mRNA can be directly translated during transcription without further processing. Eukaryotic transcription is more complex and occurs inside the nucleus, utilizing five types of RNA polymerases with many subunits to transcribe different RNA molecules. The main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription is their location, with prokaryotes transcribing in the cytoplasm and eukaryotes transcribing in the nucleus.

- During translation, the mRNA binds to ribosomes where transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids in the proper sequence specified by the mRNA codon sequence to produce a polypeptide chain.

Gene expression can be regulated at the transcriptional level by proteins that bind to the DNA and repress or induce transcription. In eukaryotes, gene expression can also be regulated post-transcriptionally or translationally through mechanisms like alternative splicing or protein modifications.

This suggests that tetraploid A. thaliana have greater resistance to salt stress due to lower expression of the At1g17950 gene, while diploid plants are more sensitive to salt stress due to higher expression of this gene.

Solution
• Define transcription
Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence. This copy, called a
messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, where it
directs the synthesis of the protein, which it encodes. Here is a more complete definition of
transcription.
• Define translation
Translation is the process of translating the sequence of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule to
a sequence of amino acids during protein synthesis. The genetic code describes the relationship
between the sequence of base pairs in a gene and the corresponding amino acid sequence that it
encodes. In the cell cytoplasm, the ribosome reads the sequence of the mRNA in groups of three
bases to assemble the protein. Here is a more complete definition of translation:
• What are the 3 steps of translation?
Step # 1. Initiation:
Initiation of translation in E .coli involves the small ribosome subunit, a mRNA molecule, a
specific charge initiator tRNA, GTP, Mg++ and number of proteinaceous initiation factors (IFs).
These are initially part of the small subunit and are required to enhance binding affinity of the
various translational components (Table 8.1). Unlike ribosomal proteins, IFs are released from
the ribosome once initiation is completed.
Step # 2. Elongation:
Once both subunits of the ribosome are assembled with the mRNA, binding site for two charged
tRNA molecules are formed. These are designated as the ‘P’ or peptidyl and the ‘A’ or
aminoacyl sites. The charged initiator tRNA binds to the P site, provided that the AUG triplet of
mRNA is in the corresponding position of the small subunit. The increase of the growing
polypeptide chain by one amino acid is called elongation.
Step # 3. Termination:
Termination of protein synthesis is carried out by triplet codes (UAG, UAA, UGA; stop codons)
present at site A. These codons do not specify an amino acid, nor do they call for a tRNA in the
A site. These codons are called stop codons, termination codons or nonsense codons. The
finished polypeptide is still attached to the terminal tRNA at the P site, and the A site is empty.
• Define the “genetic dogma”

is coded in self-replicating DNA and undergoes unidirectional transfer to messenger RNAs in
transcription which act as templates for protein synthesis in translation

The document discusses several key topics in molecular biology:
1) The central dogma of molecular biology which describes the typical flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
2) Exceptions to the central dogma including reverse transcription by retroviruses and retrotransposons.
3) Prions which are infectious proteins that can convert normal proteins to an abnormal shape leading to neurodegenerative diseases.
4) The roles and types of RNA in cells including mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA in protein synthesis. The process of transcription is described.
5) Protein synthesis including translation, the genetic code, and post-translational modification of proteins.
The document summarizes the process of protein synthesis from DNA to proteins. It describes how nucleic acids like DNA and RNA carry genetic information through their sequence of nucleotides. DNA is transcribed into mRNA in the nucleus, then mRNA is translated by ribosomes in the cytoplasm to produce proteins based on the mRNA's codon sequences. Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids to the ribosome according to each codon, and the amino acids are joined through peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain.
The document summarizes key concepts about transcription and translation in molecular biology. It begins by explaining the central dogma - that DNA is transcribed into RNA which is then translated into protein. Exceptions to this are then discussed, including reverse transcription by retroviruses and inheritance via prions. The roles of different types of RNA are described, followed by more detailed explanations of transcription, RNA processing, and translation. Key processes like capping, splicing, the genetic code and protein modification are summarized.
The document discusses key processes involved in gene expression and protein synthesis, including DNA replication, transcription, and translation. It provides details on:
1) DNA replication through semiconservative replication where each new DNA double helix contains one original and one new strand synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.
2) Transcription of DNA into mRNA which is then translated into proteins with the help of tRNA and the ribosome.
3) Translation of mRNA into polypeptide chains using the genetic code where codons in mRNA are recognized by anticodons in tRNA to add amino acids in the correct sequence. Translation terminates when a stop codon is reached.
Gene expression: Translation and TranscriptionCyra Mae Soreda
The document discusses gene expression and transcription. It defines gene expression as the process by which a gene's information is converted into functional molecules like proteins or RNA. Transcription is the first step, where RNA polymerase makes an RNA copy of the gene. In eukaryotes, the initial RNA copy undergoes processing like capping, polyadenylation, and splicing before becoming messenger RNA. The mRNA is then transported out of the nucleus and translated by ribosomes into a protein product.
The document describes the process of protein synthesis, which occurs in two main steps: transcription and translation. In transcription, RNA polymerase copies DNA in the nucleus to produce mRNA. The mRNA then passes through the nuclear pores into the cytoplasm. In translation, the mRNA binds to ribosomes where the sequence of bases is translated into a polypeptide chain of amino acids. The chain then folds into the tertiary structure required for the protein to function.
Transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.pdfssuser880f82
1. Transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA, which carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein production. RNA polymerase copies one DNA strand into a complementary mRNA strand.
2. In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase initiates transcription by binding to promoter sequences upstream of genes. It then elongates the mRNA as it moves along the DNA template. Termination occurs via rho-dependent or rho-independent signals.
3. In eukaryotes, transcription requires transcription factors to recruit RNA polymerase to the promoter. The initial pre-mRNA product undergoes processing before becoming a mature mRNA for translation.
This document presents a model of protein synthesis. It shows RNA polymerase transcribing a DNA strand to produce an mRNA strand in the nucleus. The mRNA strand then exits the nucleus through nuclear pores and binds to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. The ribosome reads the mRNA and uses it as a template to assemble amino acids into a protein chain through peptide bonds. Finally, the amino acids fold into a three-dimensional tertiary structure that gives the protein its functional shape.
1. Translation is the process by which the instructions in mRNA are used to synthesize proteins. It involves transcription of DNA to mRNA and then translation of mRNA to protein.
2. During translation, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry amino acids and line up with mRNA codons in ribosomes. Enzymes link the amino acids together to form a polypeptide chain.
3. Translation occurs in three steps - initiation, elongation, and termination. In initiation, the ribosome and first tRNA bind to mRNA. In elongation, amino acids are linked together. In termination, the ribosome releases the full protein.
Translation is the process by which the ribosome produces proteins using information from mRNA. It occurs in three main steps: initiation, elongation, and termination. During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the mRNA start codon and is joined by initiator tRNA. In elongation, aminoacyl-tRNAs bring amino acids to the ribosome according to the mRNA codons, linking them together via peptide bonds. Termination occurs when a stop codon is reached, releasing the full protein.
DNA carries genetic information from one generation to the next and must replicate itself accurately when cells divide. DNA replication occurs via a semi-conservative process where each new DNA strand contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. During transcription, mRNA is synthesized from a gene on DNA using one DNA strand as a template. Translation then builds a polypeptide chain from the mRNA codon sequence using tRNA to add amino acids specified by each codon. Molecular recognition allows for specific interactions between proteins and other molecules through complementary binding of receptors, antigens, enzymes and substrates.
Replication, transcription, translation and its regulationAbhinava J V
This document summarizes key processes in DNA replication, transcription, translation, and their regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It describes how DNA makes copies of itself semiconservatively. Transcription involves RNA polymerase making an RNA copy of a DNA template. Translation uses ribosomes to convert the RNA into a polypeptide chain. Each process has initiation, elongation, and termination steps. Regulation ensures processes only occur at the right times and locations in the cell.
DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into proteins. Transcription involves RNA polymerase making a complementary mRNA copy of a DNA gene. Translation occurs when ribosomes read the mRNA and join amino acids specified by codons until reaching a stop codon, forming a polypeptide chain that folds into a functional protein. tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the ribosome and recognize codons via complementary anticodons.
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who is considered the father of genetics. He conducted experiments with pea plants in which he studied 7 different traits. Through his experiments, Mendel discovered the principles of heredity, including that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units called genes, and that some genes are dominant while others are recessive. When Mendel crossed plants with different traits, he found that the offspring expressed the traits of only one parent, not a blend, and that recessive traits could reappear in later generations. This led Mendel to propose that genes segregate and assort independently during the formation of gametes.
The document describes the process of protein synthesis. It explains that RNA polymerase first breaks the hydrogen bonds of DNA to copy it and make an mRNA strand. The mRNA strand then leaves the nucleus through the nuclear pore into the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the mRNA binds to a ribosome where tRNA reads its bases and adds complementary amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.
Transcription occurs in the cell nucleus where DNA is unzipped and RNA polymerase adds complementary RNA nucleotides to the DNA template strand, forming mRNA. The mRNA is processed - a cap and tail are added and introns are removed. The completed mRNA contains codons of three nucleotides that code for amino acids. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm where the mRNA binds to ribosomes and tRNA molecules with matching anticodons deliver amino acids specified by mRNA codons, assembling the polypeptide chain specified by the mRNA.
This flip book depicts the process of protein synthesis, showing how DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated by ribosomes into a polypeptide chain. The flip book steps through transcription, where RNA polymerase copies DNA into mRNA, then translation, where the mRNA passes through the ribosome and interacts with tRNA and rRNA to add amino acids in the correct order specified by codons until a full protein is synthesized.
This document is a flip book that summarizes the process of protein synthesis. It shows how DNA is transcribed into mRNA by RNA polymerase in the nucleus. The mRNA is then transported out of the nucleus through the nuclear pore and binds to the ribosome in the cytoplasm. The ribosome reads the mRNA codons and binds transfer RNA (tRNA) with complementary anticodons. The tRNA brings amino acids to form peptide bonds and a polypeptide chain, which eventually folds into a functional protein.

The document describes the process of transcription and translation in a cell. RNA polymerase unwinds DNA and creates an mRNA strand in the nucleus. The mRNA strand then moves to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore. In the cytoplasm, the mRNA strand binds to a ribosome where tRNA brings amino acids to add to a growing polypeptide chain based on the mRNA codons. The polypeptide chain then folds into the final 3D protein structure.
The document describes the process of protein synthesis, which occurs in two steps: transcription and translation. In transcription, DNA is unwound and an mRNA strand is created using nucleotides. In translation, the mRNA strand is sent to the cytoplasm where it binds to a ribosome. tRNA molecules then bind to the ribosome and add amino acids specified by the mRNA code, forming a peptide bond between amino acids and creating a protein chain.
The document describes the process of protein synthesis, which occurs in two steps: transcription and translation. In transcription, DNA is unwound and an mRNA strand is created using nucleotides. The mRNA strand is then released and the DNA strands rebind. In translation, the mRNA moves to the cytoplasm and binds to ribosomes. tRNA molecules bind to the ribosome according to the mRNA code, and each tRNA connects to a specific amino acid. Translation begins as tRNA molecules form base pairs with the mRNA, and peptide bonds form between the amino acids, creating a protein.
The document describes the process of protein synthesis, which occurs in two main steps - transcription and translation. Transcription takes place in the nucleus and involves RNA polymerase copying genetic information from DNA to mRNA. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm at ribosomes, where the mRNA code is used to assemble amino acids in the correct order to produce a protein. The start codon on mRNA pairs with a complementary tRNA to initiate translation.
DNA replication begins at the origin of replication where DNA helicase unwinds and unzips the double helix. DNA polymerase reads the bases on one strand and adds complementary bases to the other strand. The leading strand is replicated continuously while the lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in fragments called Okazaki fragments. DNA primase adds primers to fill in the lagging strand, and DNA ligase seals the fragments together with phosphodiester bonds.
This protein synthesis flip book illustrates the process of transcription and translation. It shows DNA being transcribed into mRNA by RNA polymerase in the nucleus. The mRNA is then transported to the cytoplasm where it passes through ribosomes. During this process, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules match to the mRNA codons and add amino acids to form a polypeptide chain through peptide bonds. Eventually a full protein is synthesized from the mRNA instructions.
The document outlines the process of protein synthesis which has two main parts - transcription and translation. In transcription, mRNA strands are created in the nucleus from a DNA template with the help of RNA polymerase. The mRNA then exits the nucleus through nuclear pores. In translation, which occurs in the cytoplasm, ribosomes read the mRNA to produce a protein. Transfer RNA molecules match their anticodons to mRNA codons and bring corresponding amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a polypeptide chain, which becomes a protein when translation is complete.

The document summarizes the process of protein synthesis. It describes how RNA polymerase unwinds DNA and copies it to mRNA. The mRNA strand then exits the nucleus through the nuclear pore and moves to ribosomes. At the ribosomes, the mRNA is read and translated to form a polypeptide chain of amino acids.

The document shows the process of protein synthesis:
1) In the nucleus, RNA polymerase unzips DNA and copies its sequence into a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand.
2) The mRNA exits the nucleus through the nuclear pore and enters the cytoplasm.
3) In the cytoplasm, the mRNA binds to a ribosome which reads its sequence in groups of three bases (codons).
4) Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules matching these codons bring specific amino acids to the ribosome.
5) The amino acids are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which later folds into a functional protein.
The document is a flip book that summarizes the key steps of protein synthesis: 1) DNA is unwound in the cell nucleus and an mRNA strand is produced, 2) the mRNA strand moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where ribosomes are located, 3) ribosomes read the mRNA strand and amino acids are attached through peptide bonds to form a protein, which then folds into its tertiary structure.
The document summarizes the process of protein synthesis. DNA in the nucleus is transcribed into mRNA by RNA polymerase. The mRNA then exits the nucleus and binds to a ribosome in the cytoplasm. The ribosome reads the mRNA and uses transfer RNA molecules to add amino acids to form a protein chain. The protein folds into its final shape.
The document discusses protein synthesis in cells. It explains that RNA polymerase in the cell nucleus reads DNA and synthesizes mRNA. The mRNA then exits the nucleus through nuclear pores and binds to ribosomes. At the ribosomes, tRNA matches codons on the mRNA and releases amino acids, forming peptide bonds between amino acids to create a polypeptide chain. When the ribosome reaches a stop codon, the polypeptide releases and folds into its tertiary structure to become a functional protein.
The document summarizes the process of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It explains that mRNA is produced from DNA in the cell nucleus and passes through the nuclear pore into the cytoplasm. Ribosomes then read the mRNA and translate its codon sequence into a chain of amino acids, attaching different tRNAs to each codon. This continues until a stop codon is reached, resulting in a polypeptide that can fold into a functional protein. The key stages are transcription of DNA to mRNA in the nucleus, translation of mRNA to protein by ribosomes in the cytoplasm, and protein folding.
2. There are different steps in making a
protein. The first step in building an
amino acid chain is called
transcription. This process takes place
within the nucleus of a cell. During this
process an enzyme called RNA
Polymerase binds to a DNA strand.
3. To bind to the DNA it begins in
an area called the promoter
region. Once the RNA
Polymerase is bound to the DNA
strand it then begins to unwind
the DNA, reading the the DNA
nucleotides. While reading the
DNA strand the RNA Polymerase
synthesizes a single mRNA
strand.
4. Once at the end of the DNA strand
the RNA Polymerase breaks off. It is
no longer needed for the rest of the
protein synthesis process. The DNA
strand is then reattached in the
double helix structure that it
originally was in.
5. The newly formed mRNA strand is the
messenger RNA that carries the
genetic code of DNA. It leaves the
nucleus of the cell through a nuclear
pore. The strand is now in the
cytoplasm. This is where the next
stage, translation, takes place.
6. In this stage no enzymes are
needed. Instead there are different
molecules that are used. Ribosomes
and tRNA are both needed for this
step.
7. A ribosome attaches to the mRNA
strand at the start codon. tRNA carries
an amino acid and anticodons. The
tRNA carries an anticodon and amino
acid to the corresponding nucleotides
on the mRNA strand.
8. Two tRNA molecules are
working in the ribosome at
once. Once the third tRNA
comes, the first one leaves,
leaving behind the amino acid it
carries and taking the
anticodon. The amino acid
bonds to the amino acid on
another tRNA with a peptide
bond.
9. The process continues. Once the ribosome
reaches the stop codon, the process is
over. There isn’t a tRNA for the stop
codon, therefore there isn’t an amino acid
that comes from it. The process simply just
ends. The ribosome breaks off of the
mRNA strand. The mRNA strand, the
ribosome and the tRNA molecules are no
longer needed.
10. Now all that is left is a
polypeptide chain, formed by
all the amino acids that linked
together. The last step in
protein synthesis is the folding
of the polypeptide chain into a
tertiary structure.
11. Observe the following steps to get a
better understanding of protein
synthesis process.
