It describes how these two angles describe rotations around bonds in the polypeptide backbone and influence protein folding. The plot reveals allowed and disallowed regions based on steric clashes between atoms at different angle combinations. Common structures like alpha helices and beta sheets correspond to allowed regions in the plot.

This document provides an overview of riboswitches and riboswitch-mediated gene regulation. It begins with an introduction that defines riboswitches as mRNA elements that bind metabolites or metal ions to regulate gene expression. The document then discusses the history and discovery of riboswitches, their structures, types of riboswitches including TPP, lysine, glycine and others, and their general mechanism of regulating gene expression through conformational changes. It also briefly discusses how riboswitches could potentially be targeted for novel antibiotic development and future challenges in understanding riboswitch function.
The document discusses transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase binds to promoter sequences and transcribes DNA into RNA through initiation, elongation, and termination. Transcription requires RNA polymerase and proceeds similarly in eukaryotes but involves multiple RNA polymerases and occurs in the nucleus. Eukaryotic transcription is more complex, utilizing regulatory sequences, transcription factors, and RNA processing to modify pre-mRNA into mature mRNA through splicing, capping, polyadenylation, and other modifications. Mutations can affect splicing and cause genetic disorders like beta-thalassemia.
RNA silencing/RNAi involves the knock-down of genes through two types of small RNA molecules, miRNAs and siRNAs, that are involved in post-transcriptional and transcriptional gene silencing as an antiviral mechanism; short double-stranded RNAs are processed by the Dicer enzyme into siRNAs which are incorporated into the RISC complex to guide degradation of homologous mRNA targets; RNAi is an important endogenous gene regulatory mechanism and has applications in gene function analysis, gene therapy, and cancer treatment.
This document discusses different DNA binding motifs that allow proteins to interact with DNA without disrupting the hydrogen bonds between the DNA bases. It describes several conserved structural motifs common to many DNA binding proteins, including the helix-turn-helix motif, zinc finger domains, and leucine zipper domains. The helix-turn-helix motif contains two short alpha helices separated by a beta turn. Zinc finger domains use cysteine or histidine residues to coordinate a zinc ion, stabilizing their structure. Leucine zipper domains contain repeated leucine residues that allow dimerization of regulatory proteins.
The central dogma describes how DNA is transcribed into RNA which is then translated into protein. Eukaryotic transcription involves RNA polymerases that transcribe DNA into RNA, with RNA polymerase II transcribing mRNA. The transcription process consists of initiation, elongation, and termination. It also involves transcription factors, chromatin remodeling, 5' capping, poly-A tail addition, and intron removal through splicing.
DNA replication in prokaryotes begins with the unwinding of DNA at the origin of replication by enzymes like DnaA and DnaB helicase. This produces two replication forks that move in opposite directions. The leading strand is replicated continuously while the lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in short segments called Okazaki fragments. DNA polymerase III is the main enzyme that synthesizes new DNA. Replication terminates at the terminus region when the DnaB helicase is stopped by protein Tus bound to Ter sequences.
DNA-binding proteins are proteins that have DNA-binding domains and thus have a specific or general affinity for single- or double-stranded DNA.It has two basic domains specifically recognises the target sequence. Histones are a special group of proteins found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells responsible. Histones have five major classes : H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4.
Gene regulation in eukaryotes in a nutshell covering all the important stages of gene regulation in eukaryotes at transcriptional level, translation level and post-translational level.
RNA splicing, in molecular biology, is a form of RNA processing in which a newly made precursor messenger RNA transcript is transformed into a mature messenger RNA. During splicing, introns are removed and exons are joined together.
Messenger RNA carries genetic code from DNA and is translated by the ribosome into proteins. This involves transfer RNA molecules that associate amino acids with their codons. Translation begins with initiation factors recruiting the small ribosomal subunit to the start codon. Elongation then occurs through peptide bond formation catalyzed by the ribosome and translocation of transfer RNAs. Termination occurs when a stop codon is reached. Translation is highly conserved and essential for protein synthesis in all organisms.
The document discusses protein-DNA interactions and binding mechanisms. It covers several key points:
1) Specific binding of proteins to nucleic acids underlies gene expression processes like replication, repair, transcription and RNA metabolism.
2) Mechanisms of protein-DNA binding include the release of water molecules and ions, allowing the structures to conform and form hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions.
3) Recognition principles involve interactions with bases in the major/minor grooves, with certain amino acids preferring certain bases. Sequence-specific binding involves shape complementarity and electrostatic patches on the proteins.
RNA splicing is a process where introns are removed from precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) and exons are joined together to produce mature mRNA. It occurs in the nucleus and is essential for eukaryotes to produce proteins. The spliceosome, a large complex of RNA and proteins, facilitates two transesterification reactions that remove introns and ligate exons. RNA splicing generates protein diversity through alternative splicing and is important for cellular functions and disease processes.
Protein microarrays allow high-throughput analysis of protein interactions and functions. They consist of large numbers of capture proteins immobilized on a surface to which labeled probe molecules are added to detect reactions by fluorescence. There are analytical arrays to study protein binding properties and functional arrays containing full-length proteins to assay enzymatic activity and detect antibodies. Protein microarrays have applications in diagnostics, proteomics, analyzing protein interactions and functions, antibody characterization, and treatment development.
The document discusses protein synthesis and post-translational modification. It describes how translation involves mRNA, ribosomes, tRNA, and release factors to synthesize proteins. The process involves initiation, elongation, and termination. After synthesis, the peptide undergoes folding, modification like phosphorylation, and can be transported to organelles. Post-translational modifications are important for diversity and regulating protein function, and involve processes like methylation, ubiquitination, and glycosylation. Diseases like atherosclerosis and fibrosis are related to disorders of collagen deposition and modification.

- Crick proposed the "wobble hypothesis" to explain how more than one codon can direct the synthesis of a single amino acid, given there are fewer tRNAs than codons.
- The hypothesis suggests the third nucleotide in a codon is not as important in binding to the tRNA anticodon. The first two nucleotides specify the amino acid.
- At the wobble position, the third nucleotide in the codon can bind in non-standard ways ("wobble") to the first nucleotide in the anticodon, allowing a single tRNA to bind to multiple codons and explain the degeneracy of the genetic code.
This document summarizes the process of gene expression in three main steps: transcription, post-transcriptional modification, and translation. It first defines a gene as a stretch of DNA that encodes information. During transcription, RNA polymerase produces messenger RNA from DNA. The mRNA then undergoes post-transcriptional modification like capping, splicing, and polyadenylation. The mature mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm for translation by ribosomes into proteins. Additional post-translational modifications can occur to proteins after translation. Gene expression is regulated at multiple levels including transcription, RNA processing, translation and protein degradation.
Transcription in eukaryotes is carried out by three RNA polymerases that synthesize different RNA molecules. RNA polymerase II initiates transcription through assembly of general transcription factors and a mediator complex at DNA promoter sequences. Initiation is followed by elongation and termination steps. Additional factors are required at each step to facilitate efficient transcription. The resulting RNA transcripts undergo processing including capping, polyadenylation, and export from the nucleus. Prokaryotic transcription differs in that it occurs in the cytoplasm and involves a single RNA polymerase, while eukaryotic transcription takes place in the nucleus and requires multiple RNA polymerases and transcription factors.
This document summarizes RNA processing. It discusses the key types of RNA - rRNA, tRNA, mRNA - and their roles. rRNA makes up ribosomes for protein synthesis. tRNA transfers amino acids during translation. mRNA carries genetic information from nucleus to cytoplasm. The document then explains that primary RNA transcripts undergo processing like 5' capping, 3' cleavage, polyadenylation, splicing, and editing to produce mature RNA molecules. Alternative splicing allows one gene to code for multiple proteins. In summary, this document provides an overview of RNA types and processing mechanisms that generate functional RNA from initial transcripts.
Transcription in eukaryotes: A brief view
Transcription is the process by which single stranded RNA is synthesized by double stranded DNA. Transcription in eukaryotes and prokaryotes has many similarities while at the same time both showing their individual characteristics due to the differences in organization. RNA Polymerase (RNAP or RNA Pol) is different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Coupled transcription is seen in prokaryotes but not in Eukaryotes. In eukaryotes the pre-RNA should be spliced first to be translated.
In Eukaryotic transcription, synthesis of RNA occurs in the 35 direction. The 3 end is more reactive due to the hydroxide group. 5 end containing phosphate groups meanwhile, is not very reactive when it comes to adding new nucleotides. In Eukaryotes, the whole genome is not transcribed at once. Only a part of the genome is transcribed which also acts as the first, principle stage of genetic regulation.
Eukaryotes have five nuclear polymerases:
RNA Polymerase I: This produces rRNA (23S, 5.8S, and 18S) which are the major components in a ribosome. This also produces pre-rRNA in yeasts.
RNA Polymerase II: Helps in the production of mRNA (messenger RNA), snRNA (small, nuclear RNA), miRNA. This is the most studied type and requires several transcription factors for its binding
RNA Polymerase III: This synthesizes tRNA (transfer RNA), 5S rRNA and other small RNAs required in the cytosol and nucleus.
RNA Polymerase IV: Synthesizes siRNA (small interfering RNA) in plants.
RNA Polymerase V: This is the least studied polymerase and synthesizes siRNA-directed heterochromatin in plants.
Eukaryotic transcription can be broadly divided into 4 stages:
Pre-Initiation
Initiation
Elongation
Termination
Transcription is an elaborate process which cells use to copy the genetic information stored in DNA into RNA. This pre-RNA is modified into mRNA before being transcribed to proteins. Transcription is the first step to utilizing the genetic information in a cell. Both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes employ this process with the basic phases remaining the same. However eukaryotic transcription is more complex indicating the changes transcription has undergone towards perfection during evolution.
Kashikant Yadav presented on siRNA (short interfering RNA). siRNA is 20-25 base pairs long, similar to miRNA, and operates in the RNA interference pathway by degrading mRNA with complementary sequences, preventing translation. There are three main methods of siRNA synthesis: chemical synthesis, in vitro transcription, and digestion of long dsRNA by RNAase III or Dicer. siRNA has significance for protecting against viruses, maintaining genome stability, and offers a new tool to specifically repress genes. Potential applications include testing gene function, target validation, pathway analysis, and developing siRNA therapeutics.
This document discusses peptide mapping, which involves enzymatically or chemically cleaving a protein into peptides and analyzing the peptides to identify the protein's primary structure. Peptide mapping is used to confirm identity, detect alterations, and ensure consistency for biopharmaceutical characterization. It involves four main steps - selectively cleaving peptide bonds, separating peptides chromatographically (often via RP-HPLC), analyzing and identifying peptides (usually via mass spectrometry), and comparing results to a reference standard to confirm identity. The document provides details on reagents, conditions, and parameters for each step of peptide mapping.
The document discusses various techniques for purifying proteins. General steps in protein purification include selecting a protein source, homogenizing and solubilizing the proteins, and stabilizing the proteins. Specific techniques discussed include ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis, gel filtration chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, fast performance liquid chromatography, and gel electrophoresis. The goal of protein purification is to isolate a single protein of interest from other contaminating proteins in order to study its structure and function.
The tryptophan operon regulates the biosynthesis of tryptophan in E. coli through transcriptional attenuation and repression. It contains five genes encoding the enzymes needed to synthesize tryptophan. When tryptophan levels are high, the tryptophan repressor binds to the operator site, preventing transcription. Additionally, a regulatory region can form a terminator stem-loop structure to halt transcription if tryptophan tRNA levels are high during translation of the leader mRNA sequence. However, if tryptophan levels are low, the terminator structure does not form and transcription of the operon proceeds.
This document discusses the C-Value Paradox, which is the observation that there is no correlation between the complexity of an organism and the amount of DNA (C-value) in its genome. The document provides examples showing that C-values, or the amount of DNA per haploid cell, can vary widely both within and across species, from 105 base pairs in mycoplasma to over 109 base pairs in mammals. While complexity tends to increase with higher C-values, exceptions exist, demonstrating there is no direct linear relationship between genome size and organism complexity. The term "C-value" refers to the haploid DNA content of a species.

Transcription is the process by which RNA polymerase converts DNA into RNA. It involves 3 stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Initiation begins at promoter sequences on DNA and requires a sigma factor. During elongation, RNA polymerase proofreads as it synthesizes RNA to ensure accuracy. Termination occurs when the polymerase reaches termination sequences and releases the RNA transcript.
dna transcription is a important topic for biology student. this presentation may be helpful for student of biology.it is useful for all types of courses as like M.Sc, B.Sc, 11th and 12th standard.
The document summarizes key differences between transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm using a single type of RNA polymerase. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs separately from translation in the nucleus using three distinct RNA polymerases and requires numerous transcription factors to initiate transcription. Eukaryotic transcription also involves more complex post-transcriptional processing including splicing of pre-mRNA and alternative splicing to generate multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene.

GENE EXPRESSION AND ITS REGULATION.pptxyogesh532361
油
Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to direct protein synthesis. It involves replication, transcription, and translation. Regulation of gene expression controls the amount and timing of gene products. Regulation occurs through transcription factors binding to regulatory elements near gene promoters to turn genes on and off. This precise control of gene expression is vital for cellular differentiation and adaptation.
Transcription is the process of copying DNA into RNA. In bacteria, RNA polymerase binds to promoter sequences and initiates transcription. It then elongates the RNA transcript by adding nucleotides complementary to the DNA template. Termination occurs via either Rho-dependent or Rho-independent mechanisms when the polymerase reaches a terminator sequence. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase and transcription factors bind to promoter elements like the TATA box to initiate transcription. Termination is triggered by a polyadenylation signal that causes cleavage of the transcript.
Transposons are segments of DNA that can move, or "jump", from one location in the genome to another. They were first discovered by Barbara McClintock in her studies of maize. Transposons make up over 50% of the human genome. There are two classes - Class I retrotransposons move via an RNA intermediate, while Class II transposons move directly from DNA to DNA. Transposition occurs through a "cut and paste" mechanism where the transposon is excised from one location and inserted into a new random site in the genome. While transposons can disrupt gene function, recent evidence suggests they may also help organisms adapt to environmental stress.
RNA is synthesized from DNA in a process called transcription. There are both similarities and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription. In prokaryotes, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm, is carried out by a single type of RNA polymerase, and mRNA is transcribed directly from DNA. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus, utilizes three types of RNA polymerases, and produces hnRNA which is processed into mRNA. The key stages of transcription, initiation, elongation, and termination, occur through different mechanisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The document summarizes the process of transcription in cells. It defines transcription as the process by which RNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. It describes the basic structure of genes and the roles of different types of RNA including mRNA, tRNA, rRNA and snRNA. The transcription process involves RNA polymerase binding to the promoter region and synthesizing RNA along the DNA template, adding complementary bases. Elongation continues until a terminator sequence is reached, at which point transcription ends and the RNA transcript is released.

1. Transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA, which carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein production. RNA polymerase copies one DNA strand into a complementary mRNA strand.
2. In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase initiates transcription by binding to promoter sequences upstream of genes. It then elongates the mRNA as it moves along the DNA template. Termination occurs via rho-dependent or rho-independent signals.
3. In eukaryotes, transcription requires transcription factors to recruit RNA polymerase to the promoter. The initial pre-mRNA product undergoes processing before becoming a mature mRNA for translation.
This document provides an overview of transcription in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It describes that transcription is the first step of gene expression where RNA is synthesized from a DNA template. In prokaryotes, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm and is carried out by RNA polymerase, while in eukaryotes it occurs in the nucleus and requires transcription factors. The process involves initiation, elongation, and termination stages. In prokaryotes, RNA polymerase binds directly to promoter sequences, while in eukaryotes transcription factors are needed to recruit RNA polymerase.

Dr. Ansari Khurshid Ahmed- Factors affecting Validity of a Test.pptxKhurshid Ahmed Ansari
油
Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.

2. Abstract:-
Reverse transcription and integration are the defining features of
the Retroviridae; the common name retrovirus derives from the
fact that these viruses use a virally encoded enzyme, reverse
transcriptase (RT), to convert their RNA genomes into DNA.
Reverse transcription is an essential step in retroviral replication.
3. The Process of Reverse Transcription:-
When a mature HIV-1 virion infects a susceptible target cell,
interactions of the envelope glycoprotein with the coreceptors on
the surface of the cell brings about a fusion of the membranes of
the host cell and the virion . This fusion introduces the contents of
the virion into the cytoplasm of the cell, setting the stage for
reverse transcription.
4. Reverse transcription initiates from an RNA primer provided by a
specific cellular tRNA (tRNA Lys3). The primer hybridizes to the
primer Binding Site (PBS) of the genomic RNA.
Reverse transcriptase catalyzes RNA dependent DNA synthesis.
Synthesis of the minus-strand DNA generates an RNA-DNA hybrid.
Rnase H activity of reverse transcriptase degrades the RNA
strand, leaving the nascent minus-strand DNA single stranded.
The newly synthesized minus-strand DNA hybridizes with the
terminal R-region of the 3 end of the viral RNA ( Called the first
jump or minus-strand transfer).
5. After the nascent DNA hybridizes to R, minus--strand DNA synthesis
can continue along the viral RNA. As DNA synthesis proceeds,
RNase H degrades the RNA strand.
6. There is a Purine-rich sequence ( called the polypurine tract or PPT)
near the 3 end of the viral RNA which is relatively resistant to RNase
H cleavage, and it serves as the primer for plus -- strand DNA
synthesis.
Plus-strand DNA synthesis proceeds until reverse transcriptase starts
to copy the tRNA primer. Once the 3 end of the tRNA has been
reverse transcribed , an RNA/DNA hybrid that is a substrate for
RNase H is created.
7. The tRNA associated with the nascent viral DNA is then removed by
the RNase H activity. This may facilitate annealing to the PBS
complement on the minus-strand DNA, providing the
complementarity for the Second jump or Plus-strand transfer.
Once this Second transfer happens, both the minus and plus DNA
strands are extended until the entire DNA is double stranded and
creating a DNA that has the same sequences at both ends (these
repeats are called the Long Terminal Repeats or LTRs).
9. Why Left hand LTR and Right hand LTR is necessary ?
RNA polymerase that initate transcription with in the Left hand LTR
can dislodge transcription factor bound to the Right hand LTR as
they passed through that region on the proviral DNA inactivating
its ability to initiate for transcription. This is called Promotar
occlusion.
This concept is supported by the observation that mutation or
deletion of the Left hand LTR can lead to the initiation of the
transcription in the Right LTR resulting in transcription of the cellular
genes downstream of the proviral DNA.

the highly conserved AAUAAA poly adenylation signal in RNA.
