Deoxyribonucleic Acid The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Who are these guys?

What is DNA? Primary source of genetic information RNA can be used in some cases Eukaryotic cells – multiple, linear chromosomes, found in nucleus Prokaryotic cells – circular chromosomes, found in cytosol Plasmids = separate extra-piece of circular DNA

Griffith’s Transformation Experiment - 1928 Bacteria could get traits from other bacteria “transforming” their traits.

Avery, McCarty and MacLeod - 1944 Refined Griffith’s experiment Proved transforming agent was nucleic acid.

Hershey and Chase – “Blender Experiment “ 1952 Further proved that DNA, not protein, is the hereditary material Bacteriophages! Viruses that infect bacteria

Why was this an important discovery? Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin Were using a technique called X-ray crystallography to study molecular structure Rosalind Franklin Produced a picture of the DNA molecule using this technique (a) Rosalind Franklin Franklin’s X-ray diffraction Photograph of DNA (b) Figure 16.6 a, b Why was this an important discovery?

Watson and Crick – 1953 Discovered the structure of DNA Nobel prize in 1962 (with Wilkins) Deduced that DNA was a double helix Through observations of the X-ray crystallographic images of DNA from Rosalind Franklin

Erwin Chargaff – 1950’s All organisms have the same bases just in different amounts. In any DNA: Base pairing is highly conserved through evolution

DNA Structure Monomers = nucleotides Nucleotide structure: Phosphate Sugar (deoxyribose) Nitrogen base Adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine

Anti-parallel strands Nucleotides in DNA on one side run 5’ to 3’ and the opposing side runs from 3’ to 5’ This gives the DNA molecule “direction” Complementary strands run in opposite directions 5 3 3 5

Bonding in DNA 5 3 3 5 hydrogen bonds covalent bonds ….strong or weak bonds? How do the bonds fit the mechanism for copying DNA?

Nitrogen Bases and Pairing in DNA – Purines adenine (A) guanine (G) Pyrimidines thymine (T) cytosine (C) Pairing A : T 2 Hydrogen bonds C : G 3 Hydrogen bonds

Semi-Conservative Replication Replication of DNA base pairing allows each strand to serve as a template for a new strand new strand is 1/2 parent template & 1/2 new DNA

Prokaryotic DNA Replication Replication moves in two directions. Always occurs 5’ to 3’ only.

Eukaryotic DNA Replication Multiple origin sites

single-stranded binding proteins Replication: 1st step Unwind DNA DNA is unwound by helicase enzyme Makes the replication fork Helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two strands separating them Free nucleotides are present in the nucleus single-stranded binding proteins replication fork

Leading and Lagging Strands 5 3 3 5 DNA polymerase III leading strand 5 3 5 3 5 5 3 lagging strand 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 lagging strand leading strand growing replication fork growing replication fork 5 leading strand lagging strand 3 5 5 5

Replication: Leading Strand RNA Primer formed from RNA nucleotides bonds to start strand. DNA polymerase lays down the nucleotides 5’ to 3’ direction Can only add nucleotides to 3 end of a growing DNA strand

Replication: Lagging Strand Runs in the opposite direction of leading strand. RNA primer is joined to the parent strand by RNA primase DNA polymerase lays down nucleotides from 5’ to 3’ direction forming fragments: Okazaki fragments RNA primer is removed from the fragments and replaced with DNA nucleotides DNA ligase attaches the fragments to each other

direction of replication Replication fork Animation DNA polymerase lagging strand 3’ RNA primase Okazaki fragments 5’ 5’ DNA ligase SSB 3’ 5’ 3’ helicase DNA polymerase 5’ leading strand 3’ direction of replication SSB = single-stranded binding proteins

Houston, we have a problem! Chromosome erosion All DNA polymerases can only add to 3 end of an existing DNA strand DNA polymerase I 5 3 3 5 growing replication fork 3 DNA polymerase III 5 RNA 5 Loss of bases at 5 ends in every replication chromosomes get shorter with each replication limit to number of cell divisions? 3

Telomeres Repeating, non-coding sequences at the end of chromosomes = protective cap limit to ~50 cell divisions 5 3 3 5 growing replication fork 3 telomerase 5 5 Telomerase enzyme extends telomeres can add DNA bases at 5 end different level of activity in different cells high in stem cells & cancers -- Why? TTAAGGG TTAAGGG TTAAGGG 3

Editing & proofreading DNA Many different types of polymerases and nucleases Cuts and removes abnormal bases proofreads & corrects typos repairs mismatched bases Reduces error rate to 1 in 10 billion

Review Questions: Chapter 16 - DNA

Who conducted the X-ray diffraction studies that were key to the discovery of the structure of DNA? Griffith Franklin Meselson and Stahl Chargaff McClintock Answer: B

How do the leading and the lagging strands differ? The leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, whereas the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction. The leading strand is synthesized at twice the rate of the lagging strand. The lagging strand is synthesized continuously, whereas the leading strand is synthesized in short fragments that are ultimately stitched together. The leading strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing strand, whereas the lagging strand is synthesized by adding nucleotides to the 5' end. Answer: A DNA is made only in the 5' to 3' direction. 27

If the result of the Hershey and Chase experiment had been that radioactive sulfur (35S) was found inside the cells instead of radioactive phosphorus (32P), what could have been concluded? Answer: It would have been concluded that protein functions as the genetic material (this, of course, did not occur). Figure 13.4. 28

What is the %T in wheat DNA? approximately 22% approximately 23% approximately 28% approximately 45% Answer: C

What enzyme does a gamete-producing cell include that compensates for replication-associated shortening? DNA polymerase DNA ligase telomerase DNA nuclease helicase 30
