TEST YOUR SCIENCE LITERACYAdapted from Dave Barry, Miami Herald Explain in your own words, what is DNA? DNA is deoxyribonucleicantidisestablishmentarianism, a complex string of syllables found inside your body in tiny genes called chromosomes. The information in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics, such as eye color, Social Security number, and age. There is surprisingly little difference between DNA in humans, Democrats, and Republicans.

NUCLEIC ACIDS Genetic material of all known organisms DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid (e.g., some viruses) Consist of chemically linked sequences of nucleotides Nitrogenous base Pentose- 5-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) Phosphate group The sequence of bases provides the genetic information
Slide 13-

Bases Two types of bases Purines are fused five- and six-membered rings Adenine A DNA RNA Guanine G DNA RNA Pyrimidines are six-membered rings Cytosine C DNA RNA Thymine T DNA Uracil U RNA
Slide 14-

Base-pairing Hydrogen bonds are relatively weak bonds compared to covalent bonds Hydrogen bonds can form between a pyrimidine and a purine Watson-Crick base-pairing rules A T G C
Slide 15-

Hydrogen Bonds
Slide 16-

DNA: Helix In general, DNA is double-stranded. Double-stranded (ds) DNA takes the form of a right handed helix with approximately 10 base pairs per turn of the helix.
Slide 17-

Complementarity In the DNA double helix, purines and pyrimidines face each other The two polynucleotide chains in the double helix are connected by hydrogen bonds between the bases Watson-Crick base-pairing rules A T G C GC base pairs (bps)have more energy than AT bps Since one strand of DNA is complementary to the other, genetic material can be accurately reproduced; each strand serves as the template for the synthesis of the other
Slide 18-

Antiparallel Chains 5’p OH3’ Two strands of the DNA double helix are antiparallel and complementary to each other
Slide 19-

Gene A gene is a unit of inheritance Carries the information for a: -polypeptide -structural RNA molecule
Slide 20-

Nucleases
Slide 21-

Restriction enzymes Specific endonucleases Recognize specific short sequences of DNA and cleave the DNA at or near the recognition sequence Recognition sequences: usually 4 or 6 bases but there are some that are 5, 8, or longer Recognition sequences are palindromes Palindrome: sequence of DNA that is the same when one strand is read from left to right or the other strand is read from right to left– consists of adjacent inverted repeats
Slide 22-

Restriction enzymes (cont’d) Example of a palindrome: GAATTC CTTAAG Restriction enzymes are isolated from bacteria Derive names from the bacteria Genus- first letter capitalized Species- second and third letters (small case) Additional letters from “strains” Roman numeral designates different enzymes from the same bacterial strain, in numerical order of discovery Example: EcoRI E Escherichia Co coli R R strain I first enzyme discovered from Escherichia coli R

Solid Support Hybridization Solid support hybridization: DNA or RNA is immobilized on an inert support so that self-annealing is prevented Bound sequences are available for hybridization with an added nucleic acid (probe). Filter hybridization is the most common application: Southern Blots Dot/Slot Blots Northern Blots In-silica hybridization (glass slides) in situ hybridization (tissue) Chromosomal (FISH) Microarrays
Slide 27-

Southern Blots Southern blotting is a procedure for transferring denatured DNA from an agarose gel to a solid support filter where it can be hybridized with a complementary nucleic acid probe The DNA is separated by size so that specific fragments can be identified Procedure: Restriction digest to make different sized fragments Agarose gel electrophoresis to separate by size Since only single strands bind to the filter, the DNA must be denatured. Denaturation to permit binding to the filter (NaOH) Transfer to filter paper (capillary flow) Hybridization to probe Visualization of probe

High Resolution Banding and FISH Control Signals Region-Specific Signal The chromosome banding technique performed 20 years ago missed the small deletion. High resolution banding developed more recently can elucidate the abnormality. Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) is a powerful technique in that it can reveal submicroscopic abnormalities even in non-dividing cells.

Genome Mapping Terms Locus: a position on a chromosome Allele: alternate form of DNA at a specific locus on the chromosome Each individual inherits two copies of DNA Maternal Paternal Homozygous alleles: the two copies are identical Heterozygous alleles: the two copies are different
Slide 40-

Restriction fragment length polymorphism RFLP is a polymorphic allele identified by the presence or absence of a specific restriction endonuclease recognition site: GAATTC versus GATTTC RFLP is usually identified by digestion of genomic DNA with specific restriction enzymes followed by Southern blotting Regions of DNA with polymorphisms: Introns Flanking sequences Exons
Slide 41-

Genetic Variation Most genes have small sequence differences between individuals Occur every 1350 bp on average Some of these polymorphisms may affect: How well the protein works How the protein interacts with another protein or substrate The different gene forms containing polymorphisms are called alleles
