A practical step-by-step on how to transcribe and translate DNA sequence DNA transcription and translation are common terms in DNA replication. Therefore, for one to understand and master how to transcribe and translate a particular DNA sequence, one needs to know the meaning of DNA replication, DNA transcription, and DNA translation. DNA replication is defined as the synthesis of daughter DNA from the parental DNA. DNA transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA using the DNA template. DNA translation is the process of synthesizing proteins using the messenger RNA (mRNA) as the template. Additionally, one has to comprehend the roles of transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) in DNA transcription and translation. mRNA transfers the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where they identify the sequence of the protein product. On the other hand, tRNA interprets the genetic information carried by the messenger RNA into protein. tRNA acts as the physical link between the protein amino acid sequence and the messenger RNA. tRNA has anticodon and covalent attachment ends. The anticodon creates three base pairs with the mRNA codon while the covalent attachment end attaches to the amino acid that resembles the anticodon sequence. …show more content…

First one has to know the Chargaff base pairing rule. According to this rule; in DNA, Adenosine (A) pairs with thymidine (T) in double bonds while cytidine pairs with the guanosine in triple bonds. In RNA, thymidine is replaced with the uridine(U). The picture below shows how these bonds occur in DNA

    Part one is an enzyme called CAS-9, this is basically a pair of molecular scissors that can cut the two strands of DNA at a specific location in the genome so that bits of DNA can then be added or removed. The second part is a piece of RNA called guide RNA, this includes a small piece of pre-designed RNA sequence located within a longer RNA strand. The strand part binds to DNA and the pre-designed sequence ‘guides’ Cas9 to the right part of the genome. This makes sure that the Cas9 enzyme cuts at the right point in the genome. The guide RNA is designed to find and bind to a specific sequence in the DNA.

  • Horizontal Gene Transfer In Eukaryotic Analysis

    Conjugation is when two organisms is connected to each other through a sex pilus, a copy of a plasmid is then transfer from the donor organism to the recipient organism, the recipient organism can incorporate the plasmid into its chromosome and express new gene. Transduction is another mechanism of horizontal gene transfer, but it involves a bacteriophage instead of a plasmid. When a bacteriophage infects a bacterium, it could pick up some DNA from the bacterium, afterward, the bacteriophage will still contain the DNA and if another bacterium can survive the attack of the same bacteriophage, there is a possibility that the bacterium will acquire new DNA from the bacteriophage. The last bacterial gene transfer mechanism is transformation, which is when naked DNA are uptake from the environment into the bacterium (Marshall, 2016). Transformation is important to molecular biology because it allows for insertion and recombination of DNA in bacteria.

    A group of 3 nucleotides is called codons. Each codon on the mRNA molecule matches a corresponding anti-codon on the base of a tRNA molecule. The tRNA anti-codon attaches to the mRNA codon. Then, the larger subunit of the ribosome disconnects an amino acid from a corresponding tRNA molecule and adds it to the growing protein chain. When the mRNA is completely decoded a protein is made

    Whereas eukaryotes contain 80S ribosomes (60S and 40S subunits) and consist of 40% RNA and 60% proteins . This emphasis on the idea that the synthesis of proteins in eukaryotes is on a larger scale than prokaryotes and relates to the more complex protein structures that exist in eukaryotes. In general, translation is much more rapid process in prokaryotes, as transcription occurs in the cytoplasm and so the mRNA has quick and easy access to ribosomes for translation to occur. Whereas in eukaryotes, mRNA would need to be transferred to the cytoplasm to be used for translation. Therefor, translation in eukaryotes adds only one amino acid per second whereas about 20 amino acids can be added in one second in

    Scientist have recently found importance of introns to complement exons. Introns are to support and help the deficiencies of exons; thus, they indemnify exons. The importance of introns is such that it is in every step of mRNA maturation, from initiation, elongation, termination, polyadenylation, nuclear export, and mRNA stability (Chorev and Carmel 2012). This epigenetic effect of introns occurring in places where exon lack such as areas rich in guanine and cytosine consists with being the maximum level of gene transcription rates. These areas rich in transcription factors can become epigenetically inheritable through a nucleosome replacement with connection to

    Introduction Proteins are a type of macromolecule that is essential for living organisms as they have various structural, functional, and biochemical purposes. They are used for structural support, enabling organisms to move, catalyzing chemical reactions, transporting materials and regulating cellular processes (Purcell, 2016). Proteins are composed of distinct amino acids that are linked with peptide bonds. Proteins can be very complex since many combinations can be made due to the 20 unique amino acids that exist. Structure plays a crucial role in determining the function of proteins as there are 4 different levels of structure.

    In many, but not all, cases is the DNA-binding activity of the transcription factor itself that is regulated, for instance by binding of a small molecule or even a single atom such as iron. The next level is composed of certain network motifs where the single transcriptions factor is part of a regulatory module. Three examples of such motifs are depicted in Fig. 24.9 B. The single-input module (SIM) consists of one transcription factor that controls a number of genes. The feed-forward loop (FFL) is represented by one transcription factor that activates the expression of another transcription factor.

    Upon cell activation, transcription of proviral DNA into a messenger RNA occurs. Transcription process initially results in the early synthesis of regulatory HIV-1 proteins such as Tat and Rev. Tat binds to the TAR site (Transactivation Response Element) at the beginning of the HIV-1 RNA in the nucleus and stimulates the transcription and the formation of longer RNA transcripts. Rev facilitates the transcription of longer RNA transcripts and the expression of structural and enzymatic genes and inhibits the production of regulatory proteins, therefore promoting the formation of mature viral
