The Central Dogma

Центральная догма молекулярной биологии гласит, что информация, закодированная в ДНК, переносится в РНК, которая затем направляет синтез белков на основе этих инструкций.
Во-первых, во время транскрипции ДНК используется в качестве матрицы для синтеза матричной РНК или мРНК.
МРНК представляет собой копию кодирующей цепи ДНК, за исключением того, что тимины заменены урацилами.
Затем мРНК транслируется в цепочку аминокислот с помощью рибосомы.
Здесь группы из трех нуклеотидов на мРНК, также известные как кодоны, связываются с комплементарными последовательностями или антикодонами на молекулах транспортной РНК или тРНК.
Каждая тРНК присоединена к определенной аминокислоте, в зависимости от конкретного кодона.
Например, кодон CCA связывается с тРНК, прикрепленной к пролину, в то время как AGC связывается с тРНК, прикрепленной к серину.
Таким образом, генетический код определяет порядок аминокислот в полученном полипептиде, который в дальнейшем перерабатывается в функциональный белок.

Центральный догмат

Центральная догма объясняет поток генетической информации от нуклеотидов ДНК до аминокислотной последовательности белков. РНК — недостающее звено между ДНК и белками В начале 1900-х годов ученые обнаружили, что ДНК хранит всю информацию, необходимую для функционирования клеток, и что белки выполняют большую часть этих функций. Однако механизмы преобразования генетической информации в функциональные белки долгие годы оставались неизвестными. Первоначально считалось, что отдельный ген напрямую преобразуется в закодированный им белок. Два важных открытия в эукариотических клетках поставили под сомнения эту теорию. Во-первых, производство белка не происходит в ядре. Во-вторых, ДНК не существует вне ядра. Эти открытия послужили толчком к поиску промежуточной молекулы, которая связывает ДНК с производством белка. Было обнаружено, что этой промежуточной молекулой является РНК. РНК синтезируется в ядре с использованием ДНК в качестве матрицы. Вновь синтезированная РНК по последовательности аналогична цепи ДНК, за исключением того, что тимин заменен урацилом. У эукариот этот первичный транскрипт подвергается дальнейшему процессингу, удаляя некодирующие области белка, закрывая 5'-конец и добавляя 3'-поли-А-хвост, чтобы создать зрелую мРНК, которая затем экспортируется в цитоплазму. Генетический код избыточный Белки у эукариот состоят из 20 аминокислот. Объединение четырех нуклеотидов в наборы по три дает 64 (43) возможных кодона. Это означает, что отдельную аминокислоту может кодировать более одного кодона. Таким образом, генетический код называют избыточным или вырожденным. Часто, но не всегда, кодоны, задающие одни и те же аминокислоты, различаются только третьим нуклеотидом триплета. Например, кодоны GUU, GUC, GUA и GUG представляют собой аминокислоту валин. Однако AUG — единственный кодон, представляющий аминокислоту метионин. Кодон AUG также является кодоном, с которого начинается синтез белка, и поэтому его называют стартовым кодоном. Избыточность в системе сводит к минимуму вредные последствия мутаций. Например, изменение в третьем положении кодона не обязательно приведет к изменению кодируемой аминокислоты, тем самым не вызывая изменений в функциональности белка. Генетический код универсален За некоторыми исключениями, большинство прокариотических и эукариотических организмов используют один и тот же генетический код для синтеза белка. Эта универсальность генетического кода позволила добиться прогресса в научных исследованиях в области сельского хозяйства и медицины. Например, человеческий инсулин теперь можно производить в больших масштабах с помощью бактерий с использованием технологии рекомбинантной ДНК. Технология рекомбинантной ДНК предполагает использование генетического материала разных видов. Гены, кодирующие человеческий инсулин, соединяются с бактериальной ДНК и встраиваются в бактериальную клетку. Затем бактериальная клетка выполняет транскрипцию и трансляцию для производства человеческого белка инсулина, который может лечить диабет у пациентов.

central dogma: dna to protein

The central dogma explains how genetic information flows in cells from DNA to RNA to protein. It is a core idea in molecular biology and helps show how genes influence cell function.

DNA stores the instructions. During transcription, a cell copies a gene into RNA, which is a related nucleic acid. That RNA message can then be used in translation to build a protein.

Proteins carry out many jobs in cells and help determine traits. The central dogma links the genetic code in DNA to the molecules that do most of the work in living systems.

replication in eukaryotes

Eukaryotic DNA Copying at the Replication Fork

Eukaryotic DNA copying happens at replication forks, where the two DNA strands separate and new strands are built. This process lets a cell make an exact copy of its genetic material before it divides. The transcript explains that eukaryotic replication follows the same basic steps seen in other DNA replication systems, but it takes place in cells with a nucleus. The replication machinery works on each separated strand as a template, so the new DNA matches the original sequence. This topic is...

types of rna

RNA Types in Gene Expression

RNA types play different roles in gene expression. RNA, or ribonucleic acid, helps carry and use genetic information in cells. The main types discussed here are messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA. Messenger RNA, or mRNA, carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome. The ribosome is the site where proteins are made. Ribosomal RNA, or rRNA, is a key part of the ribosome itself. Transfer RNA, or tRNA, brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome during protein building. These...

transcription

Transcription and RNA Synthesis

Transcription is the process of making RNA from a DNA template. It is a key step in gene expression, because cells use the DNA sequence to build an RNA copy that can carry the message forward. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds to DNA and reads one strand as the template. The enzyme links RNA nucleotides together in the correct order to form a growing RNA molecule. This copying step does not make DNA; it produces RNA. The transcript focuses on the central idea of transcription as DNA...

translation

Translation: mRNA to Protein

Translation is the step in gene expression where ribosomes use messenger RNA, or mRNA, to build a protein. The mRNA sequence carries the instructions copied from DNA. During translation, those instructions are read in order so the cell can make a specific chain of amino acids. This process depends on the ribosome and transfer RNA, or tRNA. The ribosome reads the mRNA, and tRNA brings the matching amino acids. As the chain grows, the amino acids are linked together to form a polypeptide, which...

How Cells Control Gene Expression

Cells control gene expression at several stages, from making RNA to building protein. These checkpoints include transcription, RNA processing, RNA localization, and translation. Together, they help decide when a gene is used and whether a protein is made. Transcription is controlled by regulatory proteins. Transcription factors, activators, and repressors can start or slow the transcription of genes. After transcription, the cell makes a precursor RNA, also called pre-mRNA. Pre-mRNA must be...

what is the cell cycle?

Cell Cycle Stages in Cell Growth

The cell cycle is the process that controls cell growth and division. It explains how one cell makes two new cells. This process helps cells grow and reproduce.

interphase

Interphase and Cell Growth

Interphase is the part of the cell cycle when a cell grows and prepares to divide. It is a major stage of the cell cycle, and it comes before cell division begins. During interphase, the cell carries out its normal functions. It also copies its DNA so each new cell can receive a full set of genetic material. The cell may also build up the materials it needs for division. Interphase is not a single step. It includes phases such as G1, S, and G2, which help the cell grow, copy DNA, and get...

mitosis and cytokinesis

Cell Division: Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Cell division depends on mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the stage when the cell’s nucleus divides and the copied chromosomes are separated into two sets. Cytokinesis is the step that follows and splits the cell into two daughter cells. These two processes work together to make sure each new cell receives genetic material and its own cytoplasm. Mitosis keeps the chromosome sets organized, while cytokinesis finishes the division of the whole cell. Together, they create two separate cells...

the cell cycle control system

Cell Cycle Checkpoints and Cyclin Control

The cell cycle is controlled by checkpoints that help a cell move from one phase to the next and begin mitosis. This control system uses internal regulatory molecules and outside signals to send stop or advance instructions. It makes sure each step is finished before the cell moves forward. Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, are the main regulators of the cell cycle. They act during the G1, G2, and M phases. These regulators work at specific checkpoints to keep cell division...

molecular factors affecting cell division

molecular-factors-affecting-cell-division

Cell Cycle Regulators That Control Division

Cell division is controlled by outside signals and by internal cell cycle regulators. Nearby cell death can encourage division, and human growth hormone (hGH) can also promote it. In contrast, too little hGH or crowded cells can slow or stop division. Inside the cell, regulator molecules help each stage finish correctly before the next stage begins. Some regulators act directly on the cycle, while others affect the activity or production of other regulatory proteins. These molecules can either...

what is meiosis?

Meiosis and the Formation of Gametes

Meiosis is the cell division process that forms gametes, or sex cells. It reduces the chromosome number so offspring can inherit the correct amount of genetic material. This process includes two successive divisions. First, one cell divides, and then the resulting cells divide again. These steps separate the genetic material in a controlled way. Meiosis helps explain how sexual reproduction passes traits from one generation to the next. It is a key topic in high school biology because it...

overview of cell signaling

Cell Signaling Pathways and Responses

Cell signaling pathways and responses help cells communicate and react to changes. Cells send signals to one another, and those signals can trigger a specific response in the target cell. A signal usually begins when a signaling molecule reaches a cell with the right receptor, which is a protein that receives the message. The receptor helps the cell recognize the signal and start the communication process. Inside the cell, the message can move through a signaling pathway. This pathway passes...

types of signaling molecules

Chemical Messengers in Cell Signaling

Chemical messengers help cells communicate during signaling. These signaling molecules carry information from one cell to another and guide how cells respond. Some signaling molecules are gases, while others are proteins or peptides. Small lipids can also act as signals. In addition, cells may use steroids, amino acids, and even ions as signaling molecules. Each type of signaling molecule has different properties and works in a different way. Together, these molecules let cells send specific...

g protein-coupled receptors

G Protein-coupled Receptor Signaling

G protein-coupled receptors are a major class of cell-surface receptors. They help cells detect signals outside the cell and pass that information inward. These receptors are important in many kinds of cell communication. When a signal binds to a G protein-coupled receptor, the receptor changes shape. That change activates a G protein inside the cell. The activated G protein can then start a signaling pathway. This signaling system includes the receptor, the G protein, and the downstream...

cellular differentiation

From Stem Cell to Specialized Cells

Cellular differentiation turns unspecialized cells into specialized cells with specific jobs. This process helps a complex organism, such as a human, develop from a single fertilized egg into a body with many cell types. Nerve cells, muscle cells, and epithelial cells are examples of the final cell types that appear during development. A zygote is the first cell after fertilization. It is a totipotent stem cell, which means it has very high differentiation potential and can form all cell types...
