Strukturproteine…) o Untereinheit: Aminosäuren Nukleinsäuren (DNA, RNA) o Untereinheit: Nukleotide Membrane (Plasma, ER, Golgi, …) o Untereinheit: Lipide ( Fettsäuren) Polysaccharide o Untereinheit: Zucker Proteine Aminosäure: (kommt nur in L-Form vor, nicht D) Glutamic acid (Glu, E) fängt Ammoniak ab Essentielle AS: Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Thr, Trp, Val (können wir nicht selbst produzieren) Fusion von Aminosäuren: Neue Aminosäure immer an C-Seite angehängt lineares Peptidrückgrad Primärstruktur nichtkovalente Bindungen zwischen Seitenketten ionische Wechselwirkungen Wasserstoffbrücken van der Waals hydrophobe Seitenketten werden im Inneren des Proteins versteckt Disulfidbrücken bei Cystein intermolekular intramolekular Sekundärstruktur α-Helix o Prolin: „helix breakers“ Ende der α-Helix β-Faltblatt o Wasserstoffbindungen Tertiärstruktur „funktionelle Domänen“ Mischung aus mehreren α und/oder β Strukturen könnte an sich alleine sein stabil 4 Zellbiologie Quartärstruktur mehrere identische oder unterschiedliche Tertiärstrukturen Spezifische Bindung eines Moleküls (Ligand) an ein Protein: Protein kann aufgrund Ligand Konformation ändern (z.B. GTPase) Nukleinsäuren Base + Zucker = Nukleosid Base + Zucker + Phosphat = Nukleotid Basen Zucker Nucleotid ATP: adenosine triphosphat ADP: adenosine diphosphat AMP: adenosie monophosphat analog bei anderen Basen adenosine: ribose + adenin Nukleosid DNA Wasserstoffbrücken zwischen Basenpaaren (AT: 2, GC: 3) kleine / grosse Furche bei Doppelhelix DNA ist um Nucleosomen (Histone) gewickelt muss zur Transkription gelockert werden Unterschiede von RNA Uracil statt Thymin OH-Zucker statt H einzelsträngig (meistens, Doppelstrang auch möglich) Intramolekulare Basenpaarung, Bsp: tRNA 5 Zellbiologie DNA Replikation zirkuläres Chromosom: Replikationsgabeln laufen in entgegengesetzter Richtung. Anfang, an dem die Replikation stattfinden kann: Replikationsorigin Die DNA-Replikation ist semikonservativ 1 alter & 1 neuer Strang pro neue DNA-Doppelhelix Beginn der Replikation DNA-Primase erzeugt einen RNA-Primer an der Origin (ca. 10 Nucleotide). Auf diesen Primer kann sich die DNA-Polymerase setzten Grund für den Primer: am Anfang passieren viele Fehler. Mit dieser Methode wird der Primer nachher entfernt und neu gemacht Synthese der DNA Ablesen: 3‘ -> 5‘ DNA-Synthese: 5‘ -> 3‘ Okazaki-Fragmente Primer wird (meist) entfernt, bevor nächstes Okazaki-Fragment an diese Stelle kommt kann bis ans Ende laufen sealing der verschiedenen Okazaki-Fragmente mit DNA-Ligase (relativ reparaturbedürftig) Trennen der DNA-Stränge zuständiges Protein: DNA-Helikase Einzelstrang-bindende Proteine verhindern, dass die aufgetrennte DNA Sekundärstrukturen bildet ( v.a. beim Folgestrang wichtig) 6 Zellbiologie Transkription zuständiges Protein: RNA-Polymerase DNA-Sequenzen zwischen Genen regulieren, wie, wann, wie oft Gene abgelesen werden. Transkription macht mehr Fehler, weil es keine Korrekturmechanismen gibt Transkriptionseinheiten sind oft verschieden orientiert. Die Richtung der Transkription kann von Gen zu Gen wechseln Start-Codon: ATG Die 3 Phasen der Transkription Initiation o RNA Polymerase findet Promoter (Anfang des Gens) mittels σ-Faktor bei Bakterien (dockt am Anfang & Ende des Promoters an) TATA Box bei Eukaryonten o trennt DANN am start (Transcription bubble) o erzeugt initial rNTPs Elongation o RNA wird in Richtung 5‘-3‘ erzeugt (DNA in Richtung 3‘-5‘ gelesen) Termination o bei Stopsequenz wird RNA freigelassen, RNA Polymerase geht von DANN weg Prokaryonten in Operons strukturiert Kontrolle über Transkription negati v Repressor-Proteine positiv Aktivator-Proteine Eukaryonten gleiches Prinzip wie bei Prokaryonten, nur etwas komplizierter TFIID - TBP erkennt TATA Box TFIIB positioniert RNA-Polymerase TFIIF stabilisiert InteraktionRNA Pol ym. – TBP/TFIIB zieht TFIIE & TFIIH an (reguliert TFIIH) TFIIE zieht TFIIH an & reguliert es TFIIH entwirrt DANN am Start befreit RNA Polymerase von Promoter Kontrolle über Transkription im Eukaryonten immer über Aktivator! 7 Zellbiologie RNA processing & export Bei Eukaryonten wird das primäre Transkript modifiziert, bevor es den Kern verlässt 1. Capping 2. Polyadenylierung 3.

Stelle muss nicht zwingend das Komplement sein Aminosäuren werden mit ATP und 2P adenyliert und unter Freilassung von AMP und D-ribose-adenin an die tRNA gekoppelt (mittels 20 spezifischer tRNA-Aminoacylsynthenasen) Ribosom: eukaryontisch 40 RNAs über 80 Proteine rRNA bildet zusammen mit Proteinen das Ribosom katalysiert die Assemblierung der Aminosäuren in Polypeptiden grosse und kleine ribosomale Untereinheiten haben unterschiedliche RNA Initiation kleine ribosomale Untereinheit erkennt Met( AUG-Sequenz) gr. rib. Untereinheit kann andocken 9 Zellbiologie Elongation: 4 Translationsschritte - tRNA 2 tritt aus - tRNA 4 tritt ein - AS 3&4 werden verbunden - obere ribosomale Untereinheit bewegt sich - untere ribosomale Untereinheit bewegt sich Bei Bakterien kann das Transskript mehrere Ribosombindestellen haben, aus dem mehrere Proteine entstehen Termination Rolle der 5’Cap & des 3‘-PolyA-Endes in der Translation: ringförmige Polyribosomen (an 3’PolyA und 5’Cap binden jeweils Moleküle welche noch miteinander binden Ring) mRNA kann von vielen Ribosomen gleichzeitig translatiert werden schnelles Recycling der Untereinheiten 10 Zellbiologie Proteinabbau im Cytosol Faltungsprozess Ionen irreversibel N-Acetylierung (am N-Terminus) N-Glycosylierung ( Zucker wird an Protein gehängt= O-Gylcosylierung (bei Ser/Thy) Falsche Konformationen können mithilfe von Chaperonen korrigiert werden Hitzeschokproteine (hsp70 machinery) erkennen u.a hydrophobe Regionen Chaperonin (HSP60 Familie) Unvollständig gefaltete oder missgefaltete Proteine werden von Proteasomen im Cytoplasma abgebaut.
