Resource summary
Genes, Alleles, & The Central Dogma
Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell. (DNA -> mRNA)
Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. (mRNA -> protein)
Structural Gene
Regulatory Region
Determines when and how often transcription occurs
Transcription factors bind
Protein-encoding Region
Specifies the amino acid sequence of the protein
RNA polymerase binds to a special DNA sequence called the promoter
DNA
The basic unit of DNA is the nucleotide
A nucleotide consists of a phosphate, sugar, & nitrogenous base
Sugar
Deoxyribose in DNA
Ribose in RNA
Nitrogenous Bases
Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, & Cytosine; Uracil instead of Thymine in RNA
Post-translational modification of proteins
Folding, addition of sugars and/or lipids, shortening, linking to other proteins
Protein Targeting
A short amino acid sequence in the protein (signal sequence) directs the protein to various locations in the cell
