Background Information - Key Points
The background information provided for this lab has given you a general overview of some of 24
the key terms and definitions necessary to understand the transfer of information from gene to
protein. The information included below will help you work through the specific problems
included in your Tutorial 4 Assignment. When working on the problems remember the base mu to
pairing rules (Table 3).

Initiation is determined by the
recognition of the promoter
sequence in the DNA by the RNA
polymerase.

Figure 1: Wheel depicting codons of mRNA that
specify a given amino acid. Refer to Figure 14 in the
Lab 4 background information if you prefer this
information displayed as a chart.
The transcript always begins at the
+1 base (there is no 'zero' base; the
sequence is ... -2, -1, +1, +2 ...etc.
The mRNA of eukaryotic organisms is modified by the addition of a 5' cap and a 3' poly-A
tail, the removal of introns and the joining of exons.
For Translation:
The start site is the first AUG codon downstream from where the ribosome binds.
Nucleotides are read as single units (bases) until the first AUG (start) is encountered.
Thereafter, nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) until the first stop codon is
encountered.
Codons are translated into amino acids (typically including the START codon before
post-translational modifications) as specified in the genetic code (Figure 1).
• Polypeptides are synthesized from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus by the
addition of new amino acids to the carboxyl terminus.

Below is a sequence of eukaryotic DNA containing a hypothetical gene. The base that is first (at
the 5' end) in the sequence is at position -15. Remember that DNA sequences do NOT have a
position 0. The translational start site is the first initiating codon (start codon) encountered
after the transcriptional start. This gene has three exons. The last base of the first exon is the
G at position + 31, the first base of the second exon is the Tat position +60; the last base
of the second exon is the T at position +83; the first base of the third exon is the A at
position +108; the last base of the third exon is for you to determine.
