15.1 The Connection between
DNA, RNA, and Protein
Proteins are specified by genes
The pathway from gene to polypeptide involves
transcription and translation
Genetic code is written in three-letter words
using a four-letter alphabet
Do Genes Encode Proteins?
1896: Garrod studied alkaptonuria disease
(알켑톤뇨증)
• Caused by an “inborn error of metabolism”
1940s: Beadle and Tatum studied Neurospora
crassa orange bread mold (붉은빵곰팡이)
• Used X-rays to produce nutritional mutants
(auxotrophs)(영양요구성 돌연변이)
• Each mutant had defective gene for enzyme
needed to synthesize a particular nutrient
Do Genes Encode Proteins?
One gene–one enzyme hypothesis
• Direct relationship between genes and enzymes
One gene–one polypeptide hypothesis
• Not all proteins are enzymes
• Functional proteins sometimes contain one or
more subunits (polypeptides)
• Different genes encode each distinct subunit

Genes to Proteins
Transcription
• Nucleotide sequence in DNA is copied into a
complementary sequence in an RNA molecule
• Template strand of DNA is used to create
messenger RNA (mRNA)
Translation
• Sequence of nucleotides in mRNA molecule
specifies amino acid sequence in polypeptide
• Ribosome assembles the amino acid sequence

Genetic Code
Information
• 4 nucleotide bases in DNA or RNA sequences
• DNA: A,T,G,C
RNA: A,U,G,C
• 20 different amino acids in polypeptides
Code
• One-letter words: only 4 combinations
• Two-letter words: only 16 combinations
• Three-letter words: 64 combinations
Genetic Code
DNA
• Three-letter code: triplet (3자암호)
RNA
• Three-letter code: codon (코돈)
그림 15.4. 유전자와 mRNA의 암호 그리고
폴리펩티드의 아미노산 서열과의 관계.
Features of the Genetic Code (1)
Sense codons
• 61 codons specify amino acids
• Most amino acids specified by several codons
(degeneracy or redundancy)
• Ex: CCU, CCC, CCA, CCG all specify proline
Start (시작) codon or initiator (개시) codon
• First amino acid recognized during translation
• Specifies amino acid methionine
Features of the Genetic Code (2)
Stop (정지) codons or termination (종결)
codons
• End of a polypeptide-encoding mRNA sequence
• UAA, UAG, UGA
Commaless
• Nucleic acid codes are sequential
• No commas or spaces between codons
• Start codon AUG establishes the reading frame
(번역틀)
그림 15.5. 유전암호.
Genetic Code is Universal
Same codons specify the same amino acids in
all living organisms and viruses
• Only a few minor exceptions
Genetic code was established very early in the
evolution of life and has remained unchanged
15.2 Transcription: DNA-Directed RNA
Synthesis
RNA polymerases work like DNA polymerases,
but require no primer
Specific sequences of nucleotides in DNA
indicate where transcription of a gene begins
and ends
Transcription
Information coded in DNA is transferred to a
complementary RNA copy
Similar to DNA replication, except:
•
•
•
•
•
Only one DNA strand used as a template
Only transcribes one gene at a time
RNA polymerases used to form RNA strands
Resulting RNA molecules are single strands
Uracil replaces thymine
RNA Polymerases
No primers needed to start complementary copy
RNA is made in the 5´→ 3´ direction
• DNA template strand is 3´→ 5´
그림 15.6. 전반적인
전사과정.
Organization of a Gene
Promoter
• Control sequence initiates transcription
Transcription unit (전사단위)
• Portion of gene that is copied into RNA
Terminator (종결자)
• Signals the end of transcription of a gene

Termination
Termination of transcription differs in eukaryotes
15.3 Production of mRNAs in Eukaryotes
Eukaryotic protein-coding genes are transcribed
into precursor-mRNAs (pre-mRNA; 전구체
mRNA) that are modified in the nucleus
Introns are removed during pre-mRNA
processing to produce the translatable mRNA
Introns contribute to protein variability (다양성)
Messenger RNA
Prokaryotes
• Coding region flanked by 5´ and 3´ untranslated
regions
Eukaryotes
• Coding region flanked by 5´ and 3´ untranslated
regions (as in prokaryotes)
• Additional noncoding elements
Pre-mRNA (1)
Precursor-mRNA (pre-mRNA)
• Must be processed in nucleus to produce
translatable mRNA
5´ cap
• Reversed guanine-containing nucleotide
• Site where ribosome attaches to mRNA
Poly(A) tail
• 50 to 250 adenine nucleotides added to 3´ end
• Protects mRNA from RNA-digesting enzymes
Pre-mRNA (2)
Introns
• Non-protein-coding sequences in the pre-mRNA
• Must be removed before translation
Exons
• Amino acid coding sequences in pre-mRNA
• Joined together sequentially in final mRNA

그리고 가공된 mRNA의 관계
mRNA Splicing (1)
Introns in pre-mRNAs removed
Spliceosome (이어맞추기복합체?)
• Pre-mRNA
• Small ribonucleoprotein particles
(snRNP)(‘snurps’, 스너프스)
• Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) + several proteins
mRNA Splicing (2)
snRNPs
•
•
•
•
Bind to introns
Loop introns out of the pre-mRNA,
Clip (자르다) the intron at each exon boundary
Join adjacent exons together
그림 15.9. spliceosome에서의
인트론의 제거와 엑손의 연결
Why are Introns Present?
Alternative splicing (선택적 이어맞추기)
• Different versions of mRNA can be produced
Exon shuffling (엑손 뒤섞기)
• Generates new proteins
Alternative Splicing
Exons joined in different combinations to
produce different mRNAs from the same gene
Different mRNA versions translated into different
proteins with different functions
More information can be stored in the DNA
그림 15.10. 평활근과 가로무늬근에서의 알파
트로포미오신 mRNA의 alternative splicing
Exon Shuffling (엑손 뒤섞기)
Intron-exon junctions often occur between major
functional regions in encoded protein
Exon shuffling mixes protein regions or domains
into novel combinations
• Allows evolution of new proteins more quickly and
efficiently than random mutations
15.4 Translation: mRNA-Directed
Polypeptide Synthesis
tRNAs are small, highly specialized RNAs that
bring amino acids to the ribosome
Ribosomes are rRNA-protein complexes that
work as automated protein assembly machines
Translation initiation brings the ribosomal
subunits, an mRNA, and the first aminoacyltRNA together
15.4 (cont.)
Polypeptide chains grow during the elongation
stage of translation
Termination releases a completed polypeptide
from the ribosome
Multiple ribosomes simultaneously translate a
single mRNA
15.4 (cont.)
Newly synthesized polypeptides are processed
and folded into finished form
Finished proteins contain sorting signals that
direct them to cellular locations
Base-pair mutations can affect protein structure
and function
Translation Overview
Assembly of amino acids into polypeptides
Occurs on ribosomes
P, A, and E sites on ribosome used for stepwise
addition of amino acids to polypeptide as
directed by mRNA
그림 15.11. 번역의 전체 과정.
tRNAs
Transfer RNAs (tRNA)
• Bring specific amino acids to ribosome
• Cloverleaf shape
Bottom end of tRNA contains anticodon
sequence that pairs with codon in mRNAs
그림 15.12. tRNA 구조.
Wobble Hypothesis
61 different sense codons do not require 61
different tRNAs
• First two nucleotides of anticodon and codon
must match exactly
• Third nucleotide has more flexibility
Example: tRNA carrying phenylalanine
• Matches codons UUU and UUC
Example: tRNA carrying glutamine
• Matches codons CAA and CAG
Aminoacylation
Adds amino acid to tRNA
• Aminoacyl-tRNA (amino acid linked to tRNA)
• Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze reaction
AA + ATP → AA-AMP + 2 Pi
AA-AMP + tRNA → AA-tRNA + AMP

그림 15.14. 리보솜 구조.
Translation Stages
Initiation (개시)
• Ribosome assembled with mRNA molecule and
initiator methionine-tRNA
Elongation (신장)
• Amino acids linked to tRNAs added one at a time
to growing polypeptide chain
Termination (종결)
• New polypeptide released from ribosome
• Ribosomal subunits separate from mRNA
그림 15.15. 진핵세포에서의
번역 개시의 단계들.
Elongation (1)
Aminoacyl-tRNA matching the next codon
enters A site
Peptidyl transferase catalyzes formation of
first peptide bond and cleaves tRNA in P site
Elongation (2)
Ribosome moves along mRNA to next codon
• Empty tRNA moves from P site to E site, then
released
• Newly formed peptidyl-tRNA moves from A site
to P site
• A site empty again

Polypeptide Processing
Processing reactions convert polypeptides into
finished form
• Removal of one or more amino acids from the
protein chains
• Addition of organic groups
• Folding guided by chaperones
• Alternative pathways to different mature
polypeptides
Sorting Signals
Proteins are distributed within cells by sorting
signals (분류 신호)
Signals are coded in DNA, appear when protein
is made
Sorting Signals in ER (1)
Proteins sorted at rough endoplasmic reticulum
Signal peptide (signal sequence)
• At beginning of polypeptide chain
Signal recognition particle (SRP)
• Binds to signal peptide
Sorting Signals in ER (2)
SRP receptor
• SRP binds to protein receptor in ER membrane
• Growing polypeptide pushed inside ER lumen
Signal peptidase
• Removes signal sequence
Translation continues until polypeptide complete

Mutations
Changes in genetic material
Base-pair mutations change DNA triplet
• Results in change in mRNA codon
• May lead to changes in the amino acid sequence
of the encoded polypeptide
