Cell

Cells communicate through a series of stages involving signaling, reception, transduction, and response. Signaling begins when a signaling molecule binds to a receptor, which can be located either in the cytoplasm or on the cell membrane.

Cell

Gene expression and regulation

At what step can the production of a protein be stopped?

Protein can be stopped at any of these steps
Protein processing

protein enters golgi apparatus through cis side

in Golgi, protein is modified with the addition of tags such as phosphate groups

protein is then exited through trans site, in which it has several destinations

Go back to the ER

Go to membrane protein

Gets secreted

Lysosome to be broken down

protein is regulated

Translation

mRNA

Gets attached free smaller subunit ribosome

it slides down and find the start codon (AUG)

tRNA with Met attaches to it

bigger subunit of ribosome sits on top

Translation starts

if signal sequence is reached

Signal Receptor Protein gets attached to it

translation stops

the entire complex enters ER membrane

translation starts

tRNA enters through A side

its Amino acid gets attached to the amino acid of the first tRNA using peptidyl transferase

exits through the E site

this continues until a stop codon is reached

Translation stops

protein is snipped off from tRNA

SRP protein is snipped off

Transportation out of the cytoplasm

Gene production can be stopped at this point

RNA Processing

pre-mRNA

3'

using Poly A polymerase

Attaches a poly A tail to the sequence AAUAA in the 3'

After 3' and 5' end has been modified, mRNA gets modified by spliceosome

alternative splicing

exons are rearranged

some exons are removed

Exons stay

Introns are removed

5'

gets attached to a G group, called a 5' cap

Cell Communications

Critical players in cell signaling

Phosphatases
enzymes that catalyze the removal of phosphate groups from proteins by hydrolysis
Kinsases
can take a phosphate from ATP and add something to it to activate it
additional/removal of phosphate groups to and from proteins is one way cells regulate protein functions -> can change the shape of a protein, and thus it's function
enzymes that catalyze the transfer of phosphate groups from ATP to proteins
Second messengers
5) cAMP, a second messenger, activates another protein, leading to cellular response
4) Activated adenyl cyclase converts ATP to cAMP
3) Activated G protein.GTP binds to adenyl cyclase. GTP is hydrolized, activating adenyl cyclase
2) Activated GPCR binds to G protein, which is then bound by GTP, activating the G protein
1) 1st messenger binds to GPCR, activating it
cAMP is a second messenger in a G protein signlaing pathway
relay molecules that carry the message from the first messenger (signal) inside the cell
Receptor
Two types of receptors

Intracellular receptors - In cytoplasm and nucleus

Membrane receptors

ex: Ion channel receptor

3) ligand dissociates from receptor, channel closes and ions no longer enter the cell

2) ligand binds to receptor, channel opens, specific ions can flow through the channel and rapidly change the concentration of that particular ion inside the cell, may directly affect the cell

1) channel remains closed until a ligand receptor binds to it

Ex: G protein linked reeceptor (GPCR)

Transmembrane protein - part is inside, part is outside of the cell

receptors in membrane

Signal molecule is hydrophilic

Present in a target cell that receives the signal molecule
Signaling molecule/signal/ligand
Molecule released by a cell which is received by another cell (target cell)

Local signaling (close proximity)

Synaptic signaling
Paracrine signaling

Stages of signaling

Response
Activation of cellular response
Transduction
Phosphorylation cascade

4) protein phosphatases catalyze the removal of the phosphate groups from the proteins, making the proteins inactive again

3) active protein kinase 2 phosphorylates a protein that brings about the cells response to the signal

2) active protein kinase 1 activates protein kinase 2

1) a relay molecule activates protein kinase 1

an example of signal transduction pathway that uses kinases and phosphatases

signal relayed in molecules in a signal transduction pathway
Reception
Signaling molecule binds to receptor

Long distance signaling

ex: Hormonal signaling
If the cell releasing the signal is far from the cell that has the receptor to receive the signaling
Endocrine signaling

Direct contact

These contacts allow molecules to pass from one cell to the other, allowing the recipient to respond
Plasmodesmata within the plant cell
Gap junctions within the animal cell

Proteins gets transported to golgi appartus through vesicle

no atp required

Summary

In order to start replication we need:

Double Stranded DNA

DNA Polymerase

Helps form polymer of DNA and connects the nucleotides in polymer of DNA.

DNA Polymerase I

Leading strand is elongated from 5' to 3' direction

RNA Primer

Uses parental strand in order to start replication.

Helicase

SSB

Stabilizes the unwound DNA strands.

ORI (Origin of Replication)
This creates a replication bubble/fork

Histone core protein

Unsaturated Fatty acids
common example: oil
Isomers of unsaturated fatty acids

cis fat

hydrogens on the same side of the carbon chain

the presence of double bonds in cis far causes the molecules to have a kink/slight bemd

trans fat

DNA is a molecule of heredity in all organisms

Experiments involving DNA
Meselson and Stahl (1957)

Used density gradient centrifugation to track the replication of DNA, grew E. coli in heavy nitrogen and incorporated it into DNA, then centrigued with light nitrogen to receive their results.

Found that DNA was semi-conservative

Griffith (1928)

Injected rats with 4 different types of cells

S-cells: Pathogenic

R-cells: Non-pathogenic

S-cells (heat killed): Non-pathogenic

Mixture of heat killed S-cells and R-cells: Pathogenic

Found that even though cells are heat killed, they can still transfer their DNA.

Hershey and Chase (1953)

Utilized bacteriophage injected with radioactive protein and radioactive phosphorus

After letting the bacteriophage infect, they centrifuged the infected cells.

Radioactive phosphorus was found in the pellet, with the DNA.

They led to the conclusion that DNA is the genetic material

Radioactive protein was found on the outside and not inside the pellet, where all the concentration is at. Radioactive protein was not entering the cells.

DNA Replication
Dispersive

Both strands of daughter molecules contain old and new DNA

Conservative

Parental molecules reassociate

They both act as templates for the new strands, which restores the parental helix

Semi-Conservative

Parental molecules separate

They both become templates for a new and complementary strand

DNA's structure consists of: Phosphate group, nitrogenous bases, and a sugar backbone
Can be found going from 5' to 3'
Nitrogenous bases can be: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine

Chargaff's rule: Amount of Adenine = amount of Thymine, amount of Cytosine = amount of Guanine

Nitrogenous bases are held together by hydrogen bonds

Energy transfer

Anabolic Pathways

Pathways consume energy to build larger molecules.

Biosynthetic Pathways
Polymerization
Binding
Enzyme-substrate binding

Substrate enters site and changes shape of protein

Enzyme

Catalytic cycle of an enzyme

Enzyme-catalyzed reactions

Rate of reaction increases as substrate concentration increases

Substrates enter and change site

Substrates are not help very strong, there is weak interaction

Active site lowers energy and speeds up reactions

Substrates are converted to products

Products are released and active site is free for new substrates to enter again

pH can affect enzyme activity

pH affects enzyme activity by influencing the enzyme's shape and ability to bind to substrates. If the pH is too far from the enzyme’s optimal range, it can lead to reduced activity aka denaturation

Temperature can affect enzyme activity

Optimal temperatures

Temperature at which cell works just right

To low (temperature) will cause the cell to have a slow reaction

Too high (temperature) will cause for cell to denature

Can be used to speed up chemical reactions

Enzymes achieve this by lowering the activation energy

Thermodynamics

System + Surroundings = Universe

Laws of thermodynamics

Gibbs' free energy

Energy coupler in cells

Coupling

Exergonic + Endergonic

coupling allows cells to carry out complex and energy-demanding tasks by taking advantage of the free energy released by exergonic reactions (ex: ATP hydrolysis).

Transport work

ATP phosphorylates transport proteins when ATP is added to tranport proteins

Causes higher free energy

When there less free energy present then it is more stable

Less work capacity

Change in free energy during a chemical reaction

Change in energy can be calculated by doing G final state-G initial state

When more free energy is present then it is less stable

More work capacity

G= H-TS or H=G+TS

Non-spontaneous Process

Non-spontaneous process

Energy is needed

Change in free energy is positive

In equilibrium

Change in free energy is 0

No net changes occurs

Spontaneous Process

2nd law: Every transfer of energy increases entropy in the universe

Entropy

Measure of disorder

1st law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Chemical Reactions

Surroundings

Matter in the rest of the universe and outside of the system.

System

Matter with a region of space, can either be an open or closed space.

Closed system: Only energy can come in and out of its surroundings, but not matter

Open system: Energy is free to come in or out in its surroundings

Catabolic Pathways

Pathways release energy by breaking down larger molecules and turning them into simpler, smaller compounds.
