Chapter 16~ The Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Searching for Genetic Material, I Mendel: modes of heredity in pea plants Morgan: genes located on chromosomes Griffith: bacterial work; transformation: change in genotype and phenotype due to assimilation of external substance (DNA) by a cell Avery: transformation agent was DNA

Searching for Genetic Material, II Hershey and Chase √ bacteriophages (phages) √ DNA, not protein, is the hereditary material √ Expt: sulfur(S) is in protein, phosphorus (P) is in DNA; only P was found in host cell

DNA Structure Chargaff ratio of nucleotide bases (A=T; C=G) Watson & Crick (Wilkins, Franklin) The Double Helix √ nucleotides: nitrogenous base (thymine, adenine, cytosine, guanine); sugar deoxyribose; phosphate group

DNA Structure

DNA Bonding Purines: ‘A’ & ‘G’ Pyrimidines: ‘C’ & ‘T’ (Chargaff rules) ‘A’ H+ bonds (2) with ‘T’ and ‘C’ H+ bonds (3) with ‘G’ Van der Waals attractions between the stacked pairs

DNA Replication Watson & Crick strands are complementary; nucleotides line up on template according to base pair rules (Watson) Meselson & Stahl replication is semiconservative; Expt: varying densities of radioactive nitrogen

DNA Replication

DNA Replication: a closer look Origin of replication (“bubbles”): beginning of replication Replication fork: ‘Y’-shaped region where new strands of DNA are elongating Helicase:catalyzes the untwisting of the DNA at the replication fork DNA polymerase:catalyzes the elongation of new DNA

DNA Replication, II Antiparallel nature: • sugar/phosphate backbone runs in opposite directions (Crick); • one strand runs 5’ to 3’, while the other runs 3’ to 5’; • DNA polymerase only adds nucleotides at the free 3’ end, forming new DNA strands in the 5’ to 3’ direction only

DNA Replication, III Leading strand: synthesis toward the replication fork (only in a 5’ to 3’ direction from the 3’ to 5’ master strand) Lagging strand: synthesis away from the replication fork (Okazaki fragments); joined by DNA ligase (must wait for 3’ end to open; again in a 5’ to 3’ direction) Initiation: Primer (short RNA sequence~w/primase enzyme), begins the replication process

DNA Replication: the leaning strand

DNA Replication: the lagging strand

DNA Repair Mismatch repair: DNA polymerase Excision repair: Nuclease Telomere ends: telomerase
