- How might an error in the DNA of an organism affect protein function? Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) transcription occurs at a rate of  around 1000x per second alone in a single-cell. Errors in these  processes are typically checked and corrected… by special enzymes.  However errors in DNA transcription can result in protein synthesis  with deleted amino acids which at best can be harmless. At worst,  the deletion (or defective synthesis) of proteins can create fatal  cancers through localized cell mutations.

Transcription, Translation and Replication Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes.he mRNA formed in transcription is transported out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm, to the ribosome (the cell's protein synthesis factory). Here, it directs protein synthesis. Messenger RNA is not directly involved in protein synthesis − transfer RNA (tRNA) is required for this.

What is Evolution? Briefly, the DNA in our cells is translated by cell machinery to make proteins. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its function. The DNA sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein.Thus, any changes in DNA sequence can result in changes in protein function. This is called a mutation. Mutations can be good, bad or neutral depending upon whether the effect of the mutation is positive, negative, or unnoticed.riefly, the DNA in our cells is translated by cell machinery to make proteins. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its function. The DNA sequence of a gene determines the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein.

Transcription, Translation and Replication The mRNA formed in transcription is transported out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm, to the ribosome (the cell's protein synthesis factory). Here, it directs protein synthesis. Messenger RNA is not directly involved in protein synthesis − transfer RNA (tRNA) is required for this. The process by which mRNA directs protein synthesis with the assistance of tRNA is called translation. The ribosome is a very large complex of RNA and protein molecules. Each three-base stretch of mRNA (triplet) is known as a codon, and one codon contains the information for a specific amino acid.

Effects of Mutations on Protein Function: Missense, Nonsense, and Silent Mutations A missense mutation is a point mutation that changes a codon to indicate a different amino acid. This usually changes the polypeptide and therefore can change the function of the overall protein. We call it a missense mutation because it causes the protein to be incorrectly translated from the original gene.t can cause a nonsense mutation, which results in a shorter chain because of an early stop codon. And a base substitution can also cause a silent mutation, in which the protein's function doesn't change at all.

- Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences. Mutations in genes can either have no effect, alter the product of a gene, or prevent the gene from functioning properly or completely. DNA damage can cause an error when the DNA is replicated, and this error of replication can cause a gene mutation that, in turn, could cause a genetic disorder. DNA damages are repaired by the DNA repair system of the cell. Each cell has a number of pathways through which enzymes recognize and repair damages in DNA.

- Proteins are the products of structural genes, which on transcription get translated on mRNA template producing a polypeptide chain. This depending upon the amino acid sequences undergoes modifications such as splicing and secondary, tertiary structural organization.

Translation: DNA to mRNA to Protein During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase (green) uses DNA as a template to produce a pre-mRNA transcript (pink). The pre-mRNA is processed to form a mature mRNA molecule that can be translated to build the protein molecule (polypeptide) encoded by the original gene.n eukaryotes, the free initiator tRNA first binds the small ribosomal subunit to form a complex. The complex then binds the mRNA transcript, so that the tRNA and the small ribosomal subunit bind the mRNA simultaneously. © 2013 Nature Education All rights reserved.

Mutations They may cause a frameshift in the reading of the messenger RNA so that the amino acid sequence is incorrect and the protein product is prematurely terminated by encountering a stop codon. Mutations can be caused by defects in DNA replication. DNA repair systems, or they may be the result of environmental mutagens.

Protein Synthesis Gene expression begins with the process called transcription, which is the synthesis of a strand of mRNA that is complementary to the gene of interest. This process is called transcription because the mRNA is like a transcript, or copy, of the gene’s DNA code.hus, a gene within the DNA molecule is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into a protein product ([link]). Commonly, an mRNA transcription will be translated simultaneously by several adjacent ribosomes. This increases the efficiency of protein synthesis.

Frameshift Mutation Definition with Example Sometimes substitutions may not effects the protein structure, such mutations are called silent mutations and sometimes they may change an amino-acid-coding codon to a single stop codon and cause an incomplete protein. This can seriously affect the protein structure which may completely change the organism.

Mutations A point mutation in the coding region of a gene may result in changes in the RNA, but changes in the RNA may or may not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein. If the protein is not changed, the mutation is silent.

Point mutation Point mutations can have several effects on the behavior and reproduction of a protein depending on where the mutation occurs in the amino acid sequence of the protein. If the mutation occurs in the region of the gene that is responsible for coding for the protein, the amino acid may be altered.

- Encoded in the DNA is some type of index that directs the molecular machinery to the start of the hemoglobin gene. When new hemoglobin is required, protein production is activated. The gene is read and the protein is manufactured. At the end of the gene is a message called a stop codon, which ends protein production. The manufacture of proteins using the instructions from the gene is called protein expression. Doug Prasher envisioned that it would be possible to use biomolecular techniques to insert the GFP gene at the end of the hemoglobin gene, right before the stop codon.

- How can a missense mutation affect the function of an MMR protein? Missense pathogenic mutations should result in the loss of either the function of an MMR protein or its ability to interact with other proteins to form the necessary complex for proficient mismatch repair. For example, mutations in the DNA binding domain of MSH2 can interfere with the bind-ing of the complex to the DNA, and missense mutations in the MLH1 interaction domain can prevent the forma-tion of heterodimers. Another way that a missense mutation can have deleterious effects on the MMR pro-ficiency of cells is by causing aberrant RNA expression

Its job is to translate the message within the nucleotide sequence of mRNA to a specific amino acid sequence. These sequences are joined together to form a protein. Transfer RNA is shaped like a clover leaf with three loops. It contains an amino acid attachment site on one end and a special section in the middle loop called the anticodon site.

Antidiuretic Hormone Antidiuretic Hormone Roughly 60% of the mass of the body is water, and despite wide variation in the amount of water taken in each day, body water content remains incredibly stable. Such precise control of body water and solute concentrations is a function of several hormones acting on both the kidneys and vascular system, but there is no doubt that antidiuretic hormone is a key player in this process.
