I. Chromosome Structure and Organelle DNA a. DNA Structure i. double Helix ii. phosphate deoxyribose backbone iii. base pairs Adenine, thymine, and Guanine, Cytosine (pair through hydrogen bonding) iv. G to C have 3 H bonds, and A to T/U have 2 H bonds b. Parts of a Nucleotide c. Comparing DNA & RNA 1. DNA encodes all genetic info, Storage device, Two stranded double helix. Base pairs A-T and G-C, made of deoxyribose, eukaryotic cells have DNA in their nucleus. i. The phosphate group bonded to a sugar with phosphodi ester bonds , then the sugar bon ded to a nitrogenous bas e wit h glyco sidic bonds , and then nitrogenous bases bond complimentary to each other with Hydrogen bonds
2. RNA functions as a reader that decodes the genetic info; there are mRNA, tRNA builds proteins, and rRNA process proteins and export them from the cell. RNA has a ribose sugar. The base pairs are A-U and G-C. II. DNA REPLICATION AND RECOMBINATION a. Where? i. DNA replication in eukaryotic cells occurs in the nucleus ii. DNA replication in Prokaryotic cells is in the cytoplasm b. When? i. DNA replication happens before the cell divides so the new daughter cell can get a copy of DNA. Happens in the interphase (s phase) before Mitosis or Meiosis c. Enzymes in DNA replication 1. DNA helicase – unwinds and separates double-stranded DNA as it moves along the DNA. It forms the replication fork by breaking hydrogen bonds between nucleotide pairs in DNA. 2. DNA primase – a type of RNA polymerase that generates RNA primers. Primers are short RNA molecules that act as templates for the starting point of DNA replication. 3. DNA polymerases – synthesize new DNA molecules by adding nucleotides to leading and lagging DNA strands. 4. Topoisomerase or DNA Gyrase – unwinds and rewinds DNA strands to prevent the DNA from becoming tangled or supercoiled. 5. Exonucleases – a group of enzymes that remove nucleotide bases from the end of a DNA chain. 6. DNA ligase – joins DNA fragments together by forming phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides. d. Replication Process 1. Replication Fork formation 2. 5’ to 3’ leading strand 3. 3’ to 5’ lagging strand 4. DNA Polymerase works only in 5’ to 3’ (Elongation) 5. Primase starts the process by making a small piece of RNA called the primer. 6. DNA polymerase binds to the primer and makes the new strand 7. A lagging strand with DNA polymerase makes small chunks called Okazaki fragments 8. Exonuclease removes all the RNA primers from both strands of DNA (Termination) 9. DNA Polymerase fills in the Gaps 10. Ligase seals fragments of each strand
11. DNA replication is Semi conservative = each DNA molecule is made up of one old conserved strand of DNA and one new one - Replication occurs at A and T-rich sites because of only double H+ bonds, which take less energy to break. e. Differences between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotes Prokaryotes Linear chromosome Circular Genome DNA repl. Is in the Nucleus DNA repl. In the cytoplasm Multiple origins of replication Single origin of replication Also specific but diff Initiation point specific at the ori DNA polymerase 5 types alpha,beta … DNA Polymerase 1,2,3 f. Similarities in Replication between Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cells i. DNA Ligase and Primase g. Initiation, Elongation, and termination in eukaryotes and prokaryotes i. Initiation to elongation 1. Synthesis of RNA primer a. Eukaryotes & prokaryotes: primase synthesizes RNA primer. 2. Synthesis of new DNA strands a. Eukaryotes: i. DNA POLY APLPHA α : Starts synthesis of new DNA on both leading and lagging strand

ii. DNA POLY DELTA ࠵? : complete synthesis of Okazaki frag iii. DNA POLY EPSILON ࠵? : completes the synthesis of the leading strand b. Prokaryotes: i. DNA polymerase III: synthesizes new DNA on both leading and lagging strand ii. Elongation 1. Excision of RNA Primer : a. Eukaryotes: i. Endonuclease removes RNA primer ii. DNA Poly alpha replaces ribonucleotides with deoxynucleotides b. Prokaryotes i. DNA polymerase I removes the RNA primer from 5’ to 3’ exonuclease and replaces it with the 5’ to 3’ deoxynucleotides 5’ to 3’ polymerase 2. Sealing Okazaki fragments a. Eukaryotes & prokaryotes: i. DNA Ligase seals the Okazaki fragments iii. Termination: 1. Proofreading of the new DNA strands: a. Eukaryotes i. DNA Poly Delta and Epsilon proofread the new strands with 3’ to 5’ exonuclease ii. DNA poly alpha- replaces with correct nucleotide b. Prokaryotes: i. DNA poly I and III proofread new strands with with 3’-5’ exonuclease and corrects the mistake with 5’- 3’ poly 2. Termination of DNA replication: a. Eukaryotes: i. Replication is terminated when two replication forks collide with each other b. Prokaryotes: i. Replication is terminated by TUS protein after binding to Ter region of termination.
III. DNA TRANSCRIPTION a. DNA Transcription: Making mRNA i. Replication: makes DNA from DNA ii. Transcription: makes mRNA form DNA iii. Translation: makes proteins from mRNA b. 3 Stages i. Initiation: the beginning of transcription occurs when RNA polymerase binds to the promoter signaling DNA to unwind and becoming ready to make mRNA with a complimentary strand. ii. Elongation: added nucleotides to the mRNA strand. So A-U binding iii. Termination: end of transcription occurs when RNA poly crosses a stop sequence. The mRNA strand is complete and detaches from the DNA
IV. Post-transcriptional mRNA processing and Translation a. EUKARYOTIC Pre-mRNA processing i. The three most important steps of pre-mRNA processing are the addition of stabilizing and signaling factors at the 5ʹ and 3ʹ ends of the molecule, and the removal of intervening sequences that do not specify the appropriate amino acids. ii. 5’ cap (7-methylguanosine) protects the 5’ end from nucleases iii. 3’ poly A tail protects mRNA from degredation and helps to export mature mRNA into the cytoplasm

b. Intron Processing The process of removing introns and reconnecting exons is called splicing. ● Introns are removed and degraded while the pre-mRNA is still in the nucleus. ● Splicing occurs by a sequence-specific mechanism that ensures introns will be removed and exons rejoined with the accuracy and precision of a single nucleotide. ● The splicing of pre-mRNAs is conducted by spliceosomes c. Translation Elongation
d. Large subunit V. Control of Gene Expression a. Repressors i. Operator= region where DNA is downstream of RNA polymerase binding site (promoter) ii. The repressor binds to the operator, preventing RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter, and stops transcribing the operon. iii. When the repressor is bound to the operator, no transcription occurs, and no mRNA is made.
b. Activators i. Activator protein binds to a specific DNA sequence helping polymerase to attach to the promoter and transcribe the genes of the operon leading to high production of mRNA c. Lac operon i. Without lactose, the lac operon binds to the operator getting in the way of RNA polymerase and not allowing transcription. ii. With allolactose, it binds to the repressor allowing the repressor to release from the operator allowing RNA polymerase to move forward and transcribe.

d. TRP operon i. Low Tryptophan: the trp repressor is not bound to the DNA operator it allows RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter and transcribe the operon ii. High Tryptophan: the tryptophan is bound to the trp repressor causing the repressor to become active and bind to the operator blocking RNA polymerase from starting transcription
e. Transcription factors
