very important to the process of protein synthesis in that it is the intermediate of the genes from the DNA and the amino acids in proteins for which they code for. There are two main stages of protein synthesis in every organism: transcription and translation. Transcription is the formation of RNA‚ specifically mRNA‚ by DNA‚ while translation is the formation of polypeptides‚ the monomers or building blocks of protein‚ by mRNA and transfer RNA (tRNA). The four nitrogen bases of DNA when transcribed

unknown. I hypothesized that melatonin inhibits somatostatin at transcription level through inhibition of important somatostatin transcription factors. I collected data from primary and secondary literature to acquire information on the target tissues‚ receptors and cellular mechanisms of melatonin. I collected information about somatostatin with emphasis on the mechanisms of its expression. Results showed that melatonin inhibits transcription of somatostatin through inhibition of Cyclic-adenosine monophosphate

17.1 Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation * George Beadle and Edward Tatum worked together with mutated (Neurospora crass) bread mold to figure out that they were missing a specific enzyme (gene) that catalyzed and synthesized a pathway required. They concluded that they were missing that enzyme because it was lacking the amino acid that coded for the enzyme‚ thus was mutated and incapable of growing. Led to the one enzyme-one gene hypothesis. The Products of Gene Expression:

Frederick Griffith | This person made an experiment that involved injecting mice with pneumonia: smooth S cells‚ rough R cells‚ heat-killed S cells‚ and heat-killed S cells with living R cells. | Avery‚ McCarty‚ and MacLeod | First to show that DNA was the genetic material‚ but not believed. Repeated Griffith’s experiment‚ but subjected the strains to different enzymes‚ isolating RNA‚ DNA‚ lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ and proteins. Only the DNA killed the mice; the others had the mice survive. | Hershey

Research Institute or NHGRI set out a project called ENCODE. ENCODE stands for the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements‚ and was set out to identify all functional elements in the human genome sequence. This means identifying all the regions of transcription‚ transcription factor association‚ chromatin structure and histone modification in the human genome sequence. These functional elements were able to be identified and now 80% of the components have at least one biochemical function related to them. The

the direction are resembled from the part of an DNA. DNA strand and transcript combine to make RNA. RNA molecules carries the directions from the nucleus to ribosomes to make proteins. There are two main steps to make protein from DNA they are transcription and translation. What are RNA ‚ what are involved in the process

induction of the lacZ gene since IS cannot be removed by the inducer from the operator. 3. Define the following terms: a. enhancer- sequence that stimulates maximal transcription of distant genes; affects only genes on the same DNA molecule (is cis acting)‚ contains short consensus sequences‚ is not fixed in relation to the transcription start site‚ can stimulate almost any promoter in its vicinity‚ and may be upstream or downstream of the gene. The function of an enhancer is independent of sequence

translating the codons into proteins and stop codons tell the tRNA to stop translating codons into proteins. They are essential in the process of producing proteins. 6. Describe the processes of transcription and translation in your own words‚ based on what you have observed in the Gizmo. Transcription: Protein synthesis process starts in the nucleus where DNA is found‚ which is a double chain of sugars and phosphates that are joined by pairs of nucleic acids. These are adenine‚ guanine‚ cytosine
