    Study Notes

    DNA and Genetic Information Flow

    • The functional unit of genetic information is the gene.
    • Genes are part of genetic elements, which are large molecules, such as chromosomes.
    • Nucleic acids contain genetic information through nucleotides, which are monomers of nucleic acids.
    • DNA is the genetic blueprint, and RNA is its transcription product.
    • Both DNA and RNA are polynucleotides.
    • Informational macromolecules include nucleic acids and proteins.

    Genetic Elements: Chromosomes and Plasmids

    • Genome size is expressed in base pairs.
      • 1000 base pairs = 1 kilobase pair = 1 kbp
      • 1 million base pairs = 1 megabase pair = 1 Mbp
    • The E. coli genome is 4.64 Mbp and encodes around 4000 genes.
    • Linear DNA is several hundred times longer than the cell, so supercoiling compacts DNA to accommodate the genome.
    • Topoisomerases insert and remove supercoils.
    • DNA gyrase introduces supercoils into DNA via double-strand breaks.
    • Chromosomes are the main genetic element in prokaryotes.
    • Most bacteria and archaea have a single circular chromosome carrying all or most of their genes.
    • Plasmids are double-stranded DNA that replicate separately from the chromosome.
      • Usually circular.
      • Generally beneficial for the cell (e.g., antibiotic resistance).
      • Not extracellular, unlike viruses.
    • Transposable elements are segments of DNA that can move from one site to another on the same or a different DNA molecule.
      • They can be inserted into other DNA molecules (e.g., chromosomes, plasmids, viral genomes).

    Escherichia coli K-12 Chromosome Features

    • Approximately 5 Mbp in size.
    • GC content (% of G and C in the genome) is 50.8 %.
    • Almost 4300 possible protein-encoding genes, comprising 88% of the genome.

    Plasmid Features

    • Plasmids can carry genes associated with virulence factors in pathogenic bacteria that contribute to infection.
    • Bacteriocins, proteins that inhibit or kill closely related species or different strains of the same species, can be encoded on plasmids.
    • Rhizobia use plasmid-encoded functions to fix nitrogen.
    • Plasmids can contribute to metabolism, such as hydrocarbon degradation.
    • Plasmids are crucial for conjugation, a form of horizontal gene transfer.

    ### DNA Replication

    • DNA replication is semiconservative, meaning each new double helix consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
    • Deoxynucleoside 5′-triphosphate (dNTP) serves as the precursor for each nucleotide.
    • DNA replication always proceeds from the 5′ end to the 3′ end.
    • DNA polymerases, specifically DNA Pol III, are the primary enzymes responsible for replicating chromosomal DNA in E. coli.
    • Other DNA polymerases play roles in DNA repair.
    • DNA synthesis initiates at the origin of replication in prokaryotes.
    • DNA polymerases require a primer, a short stretch of RNA, which primase creates.
    • The replication fork is the region of unwound DNA where replication occurs.
    • DNA helicase unwinds the DNA.
    • DNA synthesis occurs continuously on the leading strand and discontinuously on the lagging strand.
    • Okazaki fragments are short segments of DNA synthesized on the lagging strand.
    • DNA polymerase I removes the RNA primer and replaces it with DNA.
    • DNA ligase seals the gaps in the DNA.
    • Bidirectional replication occurs in circular chromosomes.
    • Two replication forks move in opposite directions along the circular chromosome.
    • DNA Pol III adds approximately 1,000 nucleotides per second.
    • The replisome, a complex of multiple proteins involved in replication, consists of two copies of DNA polymerase III, DNA gyrase, helicase, primase, and multiple single-strand DNA-binding proteins.
    • DNA replication is extremely accurate due to proofreading mechanisms that ensure high fidelity.
    • Mutation rates in cells are typically 10–8 to 10–11 errors per base inserted.
    • DNA Pol I and Pol III can detect mismatches through incorrect hydrogen bonding and remove them via their 3'→5' exonuclease activity.

    RNA Synthesis: Transcription

    • Central Dogma: DNA is duplicated (replication), information is transferred from DNA to RNA (transcription), and information in RNA is used to build polypeptides (translation).
    • mRNA (messenger RNA) encodes proteins.
    • tRNA (transfer RNA) converts mRNA into the amino acid sequence of a protein.
    • rRNA (ribosomal RNA) provides catalytic and structural components for ribosomes.

    ### Transcription Characteristics in Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes

    • Eukaryotes: Each gene is transcribed individually into a single mRNA. Replication and transcription happen in the nucleus. RNA must be exported outside the nucleus for translation.
    • Prokaryotes: Multiple genes can be transcribed in a single mRNA. Transcription and translation are coupled, maximizing protein synthesis.

    Transcription in Bacteria

    • Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
    • RNA polymerase is the enzyme that carries out transcription.
    • RNA polymerase requires DNA as a template and uses ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP as RNA precursors.
    • Transcription proceeds in the 5' to 3' direction, similar to DNA replication.
    • Only one strand of DNA is transcribed.
    • No primer is required for RNA transcription.

    Prokaryotic vs. Eukaryotic RNA Polymerases

    • Most eukaryotes have three different RNA polymerases:
      • Pol I: synthesizes ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs)
      • Pol II: synthesizes messenger RNAs (mRNAs)
      • Pol III: synthesizes 5S rRNA, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and other small RNAs
    • Plants have two additional RNA polymerases:
      • Pol IV: involved in the generation of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from transposons and repetitive sequences, contributing to epigenetic regulation.
      • Pol V: responsible for silencing (DNA and histone methylation) of transposons and repetitive sequences.
    • Bacteria and Archaea only have a single RNA polymerase.

    Bacterial RNA Polymerase Structure

    • E. coli RNA polymerase is composed of five subunits: two α (αI and αII), β, β', and ω.
    • The core enzyme consists of the β, β', and ω subunits.
    • Together, the core enzyme and the sigma factor form the holoenzyme.

    Key Features of Bacterial RNA Polymerase

    • The DNA binding groove of RNA polymerase is positively charged, while DNA is negatively charged, facilitating the binding of DNA.
    • Magnesium ions (Mg2+) are required for RNA polymerase activity.
    • RNA polymerase lacks a proofreading mechanism, unlike DNA polymerase, which has 3' to 5' exonuclease activity.

    Transcription Initiation in Bacteria

    • Initiation is sequence-specific and occurs at the promoter sequence, located upstream of the RNA transcription start site.
    • The core enzyme can catalyze transcription, but the sigma factor is needed for promoter recognition.
    • Sigma factors are bacterial transcription factors that bind to the promoter sequence (-10 and -35 regions) and help RNA polymerase initiate transcription.
    • The +1 site marks the transcription initiation site.
    • The -10 region (also known as the Pribnow box) is a consensus sequence located about 10 base pairs upstream of the +1 site.
    • The -35 region is another consensus sequence located about 35 base pairs upstream of the +1 site.
    • Multiple sigma factors exist in bacteria, allowing RNA polymerase to recognize and transcribe different sets of genes.

    Sigma Factor in E. coli

    • E. coli has seven distinct sigma factors.
    • The primary sigma factor, σ70, is responsible for the transcription of "housekeeping" genes.
    • Each sigma factor typically binds to a set of genes with related functions, such as sporulation genes.

    Examples of Sigma Factor Functions

    • Sporulation sigma factor in Bacillus subtilis: responsible for transcribing genes involved in bacterial sporulation in response to adverse conditions.

    RNA Polymerase Holoenzyme Structure

    • The sigma factor is attached to the core RNA polymerase complex.

    Anti-sigma Factors

    • Inhibit sigma factor function by binding to them
    • Regulate stress response in M.extorquens
    • Phosphorylation of PhyR releases anti-sigma factor (NepR) from σEcfG1
    • Allows σEcfG1 to associate with RNA polymerase and transcribe stress genes

    Transcription Start and Elongation

    • Closed Complex: DNA is double-stranded, RNA polymerase is bound to the promoter
    • Open Complex: Sigma factor unwinds DNA at the promoter region, no helicase or ATP required
    • Initiating Ribonucleotides: Transcription usually starts at +1 with a nucleotide triphosphate, resulting in a triphosphate at the 5' end of the newly synthesized RNA
    • Elongation:
      • Sigma subunit detaches from the polymerase
      • Transcription bubble forms (18 base long DNA opening)
      • RNA/DNA hybrid forms, helping keep the polymerase attached to the DNA

    Transcription Features

    • Transcription can occur on either DNA strand
    • Multiple RNA polymerases can transcribe the same gene simultaneously

    Polycistronic mRNA

    • Single mRNA molecule containing multiple genes
    • Transcribed from the same promoter upstream of a cluster of genes with related functions (operon)

    Ribosomal RNA

    • Polycistronic

    Coupled Transcription and Translation in Bacteria

    • Ribosomes attach to the 5' end of mRNA before transcription is complete
    • Ribosomes move along the mRNA towards the 3' end as transcription continues
    • Allows protein synthesis to begin before mRNA is fully transcribed
    • Not possible in eukaryotes due to separate compartments for transcription and translation

    Transcription Termination

    • RNA polymerase detaches from the template when it encounters a terminator sequence
    • Two types: factor-independent and Rho-dependent

    Factor-Independent Termination

    • Inverted repeat sequence with a central non-repeating segment forms a hairpin structure
    • Followed by a run of U nucleotides
    • Destabilizes RNA/DNA binding, leading to RNA dissociation

    Rho-Dependent Termination

    • Requires Rho factor - an RNA-dependent ATPase and RNA/DNA helicase
    • Recognizes rut sites in RNA
    • Rho binds to rut and acts as a helicase, moving 5' to 3' along the transcript
    • This pulls apart the RNA/DNA hybrid, releasing the RNA polymerase when it's paused at the terminator sequence

    Anti-sigma Factors

    • Anti-sigma factors are proteins that bind to sigma factors, inhibiting their function.
    • Phosphorylation of PhyR in Mycobacterium extorquens triggers the release of the anti-sigma factor NepR from the sigma factor σEcfG1.
    • This release allows σEcfG1 to associate with RNA polymerase, leading to transcription of genes involved in stress response.

    Transcription Initiation and Elongation

    • Closed Complex: RNA polymerase bound to the promoter region, DNA is double-stranded.
    • Open Complex: DNA unwinds at the promoter region, catalyzed by the sigma factor.
    • Initiating Ribonucleotides: Transcription starts at the +1 site with a nucleotide triphosphate, creating a triphosphate at the 5' end of RNA.
    • Elongation: Sigma subunit dissociates, forming a transcription bubble with an 18 base pair RNA/DNA hybrid.
    • Transcription Features: Transcription can occur in either DNA strand depending on the gene, and multiple RNA polymerases can transcribe a single gene simultaneously.

    Polycistronic mRNA

    • One mRNA molecule contains multiple genes transcribed from the same promoter upstream of a gene cluster.
    • These clusters, called operons, usually contain genes with related functions.

    Coupled Transcription and Translation in Bacteria

    • Ribosomes attach to the 5' end of mRNA even before transcription is complete.
    • Ribosomes move along the mRNA towards the 3' end as transcription continues.
    • This coupling allows protein synthesis to start before mRNA is fully produced, reducing the delay between transcription and protein expression.

    Transcription Termination

    • Factor-Independent Termination:
      • Inverted repeat sequence (high G+C content) forms a hairpin structure through intramolecular base-pairing.
      • Run of U residues following the inverted repeat destabilizes RNA/DNA binding, leading to RNA dissociation.
    • Rho-Dependent Termination:
      • Rho protein is an RNA-dependent ATPase and RNA/DNA helicase.
      • Rho binds to rut (rho utilization) sequences in RNA, moving along the transcript in a 5' to 3' direction.
      • Rho unwinds the RNA/DNA hybrid, causing RNA polymerase to disengage when paused at the terminator sequence.
