Transcription: Key Concepts

  • Transcription is how cells make RNA from a DNA template
  • It’s the second step in the Central Dogma of Molecular Genetics:
  • Information flows from
    • DNA → RNA → Protein.
    • DNA triplets → mRNA codons → amino acid sequence (protein).
  • In eukaryotes
    • Transcription occurs in the nucleus
    • Translation occurs in the cytoplasm

What is a Gene?

  • A gene is the basic unit of heredity, determining traits and passed from parent to offspring.
  • In molecular genetics, a gene is a sequence of DNA nucleotides that codes for RNA. That RNA, in turn, might code for a protein.

Principal Forms of RNA

  1. mRNA (Messenger RNA):
    • A linear molecule that carries instructions from DNA to ribosomes.
  2. rRNA (Ribosomal RNA):
    • Catalytic part of ribosomes that binds amino acids together during protein synthesis.
  3. tRNA (Transfer RNA):
    • Delivers specific amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis.
  4. Small RNAs/microRNAs
    • Diverse group of RNAs involved in eukaryotic gene regulation.

Overview of Prokaryotic Transcription

Note: Transcription in eukaryotes has some additional complications and that are addressed in this tutorial in the AP Bio Video Pathway, and here in our AP Bio curriculum.

  1. Begins at a promoter region on the DNA, marking the gene’s starting point.
  2. RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter and synthesizes RNA based on the DNA template strand.
  3. DNA is read in the 3′ to 5′ direction, and RNA is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.
  4. When RNA polymerase reaches a terminator region, transcription ends.

Template and Coding Strands in DNA

  • DNA Template Strand (AKA: non-coding/anti-sense/minus strand):
    • The DNA strand that’s transcribed into RNA.
  • Coding Strand (AKA: sense/positive strand):
    • Complementary to the template strand.
    • Shares the same sequence as mRNA, except RNA has U (uracil) instead of T (thymine).

Unique Features of Prokaryotic Transcription

  • Prokaryotes lack a nucleus, so transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm.
  • Transcribed RNA can be immediately translated by ribosomes.
  • Polysomes:
    • Multiple ribosomes can translate the same RNA strand simultaneously.

[h]Transcription: Key Concepts and Process

[q]What is the central dogma of molecular genetics?
[a]The flow of genetic information: DNA → RNA → Protein.

[q]In terms of genetic information, what’s the relationship between DNA, mRNA, and proteins?
[a]DNA triplets code for mRNA codons, which are translated into an amino acid sequence (which makes up the primary structure of a protein).

[q]In terms of molecular genetics, what is a gene?
[a]A gene is a sequence of DNA nucleotides that codes for RNA. That RNA, in turn, might be translated into protein.

[q]What are the principal forms of RNA and their functions?
[a]- mRNA: Carries instructions from DNA to ribosomes.
– rRNA: Catalytic part of ribosomes that binds amino acids together during protein synthesis.
– tRNA: Delivers specific amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
– Small RNAs: Involved in eukaryotic gene regulation.

[q]What is transcription?
[a]The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.

[q]What are the main steps in transcription?
[a]- Transcription begins at a promoter region on the DNA.
– RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter and synthesizes RNA.
– DNA is read in the 3′ to 5′ direction, and RNA is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.
– Transcription ends when RNA polymerase reaches a terminator region.

[q]What is the template strand in transcription?
[a]The DNA strand transcribed into RNA; also called the non-coding, anti-sense, or minus strand.

[q]What is the coding strand in transcription?
[a]The DNA strand complementary to the template strand, with the same sequence as mRNA (except RNA has U instead of T).

[q]What is unique about prokaryotic transcription?
[a]- Prokaryotes lack a nucleus, so transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm.
– Transcribed RNA can immediately be translated by ribosomes.
– Polysomes: Multiple ribosomes translate the same RNA strand simultaneously.
