From DNA to RNA to protein
When a protein is needed by a cell, the genetic code for that protein
must be read from the DNA and processed.
• Protein is produced.
Key Players
• mRNA carries the
information from a gene
in DNA.
• Ribosomes, made of
rRNA, consist of
subunits and carry out
an enzyme-like role.

2. Elongation
3. Termination

3. Different types and levels of sigma factors influence the level and
dynamics of gene expression (how much and efficiency).

Step 2-Elongation, E. coli model:
4. Part of the new RNA strand is hybrid DNA-RNA, but most RNA is
displaced as the helix reforms.

Step 3-Termination, E. coli model:
1. Type I (-independent)
Fig. 5.5
2. Type II (-dependent)
Each GTF works with only one kind of RNA polymerase (required
by all 3 RNA polymerases).

mRNA splicing of exons and removal of introns:
4. Lariat is excised, and the exons are joined to form a spliced mRNA.

Translation
• A tRNA with an
anticodon (GUA)
matching the exposed
codon (CAU) moves
onto the ribosome. This
tRNA carries histidine
(his).
