00:00 Yeah. Mhm. Oh, now much. Thank you. It was

00:41 . High school. Very lucky. , I stay at home.

00:57 Yeah, one. Not sure. . OK. Folks. Uh let's

01:18 started. So you OK. Uh right. So today we're gonna go

01:31 um cryptogenetic. So maybe a bit a review for some um maybe refresher

01:40 some uh I don't think it's gonna new stuff necessarily but some of the

01:44 may be new. Um But more that in a second. So uh

01:49 12. So it, I was what to because I had like in

01:54 , I had nine and 10 and else. And so I decided,

01:58 , what am I gonna do Um I don't think you need to

02:04 Checker uh I think 11 is like are what the pros are. It's

02:11 a list of names and, and and taxonomy and I don't know how

02:16 you really get out of that. . So I thought, well,

02:19 , that's, but you know, said, well, let's, this

02:21 what I've done before. The fungi , put its own helmet. These

02:25 like worms. OK. So in of, you know, we're,

02:29 , we're really getting into, especially we finish eight. pretty much after

02:36 is like all, pretty much clinically care related. So we're talking about

02:41 heavily on diseases and so on and forth. But I figure,

02:45 uh this will introduce you, at to some, I'm not focusing on

02:50 is really uh pathogens, disease causing that are in this group.

02:56 Because we don't cover any of these the end. So at the

02:59 we do, we look at diseases things of different types of infectious diseases

03:03 uh we don't really put it in . So these are kind of give

03:06 some exposure to like, you you'll see like fungal infections, for

03:10 , in the, in a, a hospital for sure. Uh you

03:15 , when you see a protozoal type , you know, this is

03:19 think, think malaria, right? don't really have cases of malaria in

03:22 , but um you do in other of the world for sure. Um

03:27 protozoal diseases you may get like um there have been recently cases of uh

03:33 shell shellfish poisoning due to these um uh kinds of allergy that can grow

03:39 the gulf we talked about before, ? So they'll grow in large numbers

03:45 that produce these toxins. And so uh you'll, you'll get some of

03:49 occasionally. Um But uh anyway, I thought Ok. Well, let's

03:53 this. We'll get some, some to. So these are all you

03:57 courses. So basically eu Caro uh that can cause disease. So we'll

04:02 at some of that and then, , and then will there be more

04:06 ? I don't know. We'll We'll see. Um, anyway,

04:10 , so, you know, you're , ok, we just took exam

04:13 . Ok. We have to sign for exam two. Yeah.

04:16 yeah, unfortunately you do. So, uh so that's this

04:21 the next schedule opens. So, I know some of you are brand

04:25 university, right? And so, you, some of you had issues

04:29 of accessing or where to go. . Right. So, um,

04:34 those of you that are, are familiar with CASA from previous experience,

04:40 you're not going to the CASA site to the old one, not to

04:43 old one. So some of you of migrated to the old Casa

04:45 don't go there, right? Because not gonna find what you need,

04:48 ? So, go to that CCS , right? And I'll um I'll

04:53 another email on a Thursday and I'll put the link in there

04:56 So that's, that's where you wanna to, to that CASA version.

05:01 . So, um, so exam , you know, again, it's

05:05 cover what, 27 78 12, a tiny bit of something else.

05:09 don't know. We'll see. Uh then after, after this unit's over

05:14 , you know, we're pretty much be um, you know, uh

05:18 , um um uh and the immune and et cetera so heavily with,

05:24 know, mostly the medic medical microbiology you will. Ok. Uh through

05:29 end of the semester. So, which is I not rapidly approaching but

05:36 , it's coming up quick, it's uh shocking. So anyway, um

05:41 else we got? So we got quiz this week, um, mastery

05:45 due next Monday. Uh What I think that's it. So.

05:51 , so the exam, so the when I go, oh my

05:53 what's, what's gonna happen here? it gonna be, you know,

05:57 not, is it not gonna be ? And so I was not quite

06:00 , but actually I was um pleased the result from the standpoint of,

06:05 know, having an average that wasn't way down the toilet somewhere.

06:09 But it was, that's why I to shoot for 70 plus or minus

06:13 couple points. Ok. And um, so now what we gotta

06:18 , what I gotta do is because , it's in a way, you

06:21 , with these big classes because my , um, the, the major

06:25 had the same average almost and, , and to a degree it's like

06:30 like herding cats to be right, to get a large body of people

06:34 in the, right in the, this in this direction, right?

06:36 what I'm trying to do. So I'm gonna get some more.

06:39 need, get these butts over here on this side. OK? I

06:43 get, you gotta heard these people on that side. So,

06:47 uh, so number one, if didn't, if you fell within these

06:52 over here, don't panic. Don't despair. OK? Um,

06:59 concerned. OK? But don't, , remember you got that one third

07:05 there. The cookers and homework that , right? So maximize that

07:10 right? Uh We got one So that's 17%. Right. So

07:15 now the this other one third is holding more weight. OK?

07:20 you do wanna bring this exam average because pretty soon, right? It's

07:24 take over, right? Because remember two thirds exam one third of the

07:28 stuff. OK. So, um , um, many of you have

07:34 set up times to come and look the exam? That's perfect.

07:38 Um, so, you know, think I said this before. Whatever

07:43 did for exam one don't identically don't repeat it right. If you didn't

07:48 that well on it, right? if you do the exact same thing

07:52 you do more of the same both of those are gonna lead to

07:56 much the same score again. So do change it up,

07:59 Because what's the worst thing that can ? You change it up, you

08:03 make the same gradient, right? , but the odds are you're gonna

08:06 better. OK. So do change up. You're not sure what to

08:11 . Let me know. OK, can go over that. So

08:14 there's time to recover here. So um so I have a degree

08:20 amnesia, right? Because you're not see this again, right? Because

08:25 the last exam is not comprehensive which four individual exams. So,

08:30 so, um, but, you , now, now the focus is

08:33 too and do the best I Ok, so you need help.

08:39 am here. Ok. So, , and you can't come to the

08:44 hours, just email, there's other and times. Ok. So not

08:47 problem. So, um, um, but roughly like three quarters

08:56 , you know, uh, made a B or C on

08:59 So, uh, anyway, you , I'm glad for that, but

09:02 want, I'd rather have just three and a B and AC bar and

09:06 done with it. Ok? But , we'll try, try.

09:11 so today, um, we're gonna . So I think we have,

09:16 gonna start with a few questions. this is kind of a, these

09:20 are gonna be kind of ok. I remember this stuff? Do I

09:23 of remember it? Uh, let see what I know about it.

09:26 . And this is, uh, of those areas, this is one

09:30 those areas that you gotta know this , right? If you're a

09:35 a health major, these are one the things things you should, when

09:38 leave here, you should OK? know what this is. I know

09:41 the the basics of gene expression and information flows in living things. I

09:47 this, right? It's like you know the the very basics of

09:52 the very basics of evolution, you kind of things you know that uh

09:58 know, when, when you leave that you know them, right?

10:02 , and so like, like with this material, I'm not gonna

10:07 into super details on, OK. every step of protein synthesis.

10:13 OK. I'm not, I'm not going into structure of nucleic gasses or

10:17 like that. So the chapter in book does do that. OK.

10:22 , but I'm not doing that So again, it's more what's the

10:26 process going on? OK. Um is, what are the basics of

10:32 couple of stages of the process? ? So you'll see as we go

10:35 this. So um so again, get too in the weeds with

10:40 OK? Because you, you as the book presents it, you

10:44 get in the weeds very quickly. . So uh we're not covering oh

10:50 . Um uh we're not, we're DNA application only in the aspect of

10:57 replication. We're not getting into details it. Um Gene regulation, we're

11:01 even covering that. OK. Um expression, we're gonna go through

11:06 but really just the very basics of . OK. Uh Mutation, we

11:10 talk about that. OK? And talk about transfer genetic material.

11:15 um so context for this, So let's um let's do a couple

11:20 questions first kind of to see what , where we're at in our heads

11:24 this. OK. Then we'll kind explain around it. This is a

11:27 I have used, I think since started here 20 years ago. And

11:32 , and it's one that very quickly me if you really understand the

11:38 OK. So let me pause Sorry, I'm sorry. Who

11:54 Oh Yeah. What, what, the question? Yeah. Uh

12:01 Just do what you can and we'll with it later. OK. All

12:05 . Um Process. OK. So the question. So the process of

12:10 and translation, right? So that's of those things you got to remember

12:12 transcription and what's translation, right? It carried out the test tube and

12:16 , and it, it sounds like , but this, this has been

12:20 , you know, it's not, not nothing uh uh impossible, it's

12:23 done lots of time. So, . So in a test tube,

12:25 adding from a hippo, right? , mrnatrnas and ribosomes. OK?

12:33 a fish DNA from a zebra RN lyme and other necessary enzymes, ribonucleotide

12:41 amino acids, right? So you parts to do the transcription translation.

12:45 we're supplying those parts but just from sources, different animals. OK.

12:51 so um you, you uh let thing proceed. OK? And you

13:00 get something OK? You get a protein is made. So some assume

13:07 new protein is synthesized pro proteins of animal or animals will be expressed?

13:17 . So which animal? And so are your choices? OK. The

13:22 combinations or just one of them or have you? OK. Oh Let

13:26 ask you this. Oh It's, open. OK. So you may

13:33 this a slam dunk. Maybe But anyway, we'll go through

13:42 Uh Let's see. They got this then two more questions and we'll talk

13:48 little bit. OK. Yeah. coming down from 10 oh All

14:39 Here we go. Let's see. Nedne. OK. So uh the

14:50 theme here, of course, is OK? So flow of information,

14:55 ? Universal process. The same way works in us is the same way

14:59 works in a cockroach, the same it works in a fungus uh in

15:04 E coli, right? The same process. So, um and so

15:10 is we have um our DNA genome our chromosomes, for example, um

15:18 parts of the DNA that we call , right are copied into an RN

15:24 form. OK? I'm not gonna into all the details yet, but

15:29 wait a little bit So uh then basically make RN a copies of

15:34 So think of um I don't of course, where the professor had

15:39 book on reserve the library, So there for everybody to access,

15:46 . But you couldn't take it with , right? So the way to

15:49 working copies of what you wanted in of reading, what have you,

15:53 is xerox, right? Make xerox . And um then uh that's what

15:58 took home, right? You could go back to that book and you

16:01 more copies because you probably read it then crumbled up and threw it

16:05 right? So the copies you're making the Xerox machine, that's your RN

16:09 , right? So you can always more of that stuff, right?

16:16 it's, it's transient, it's around a while. It goes away.

16:21 ? Uh DNA is the permanent OK. And uh what are you

16:26 with the RN A? Well, making protein, right? That's,

16:29 what you're doing. That's what living function because of the proteins they

16:33 right? So, OK, so we're looking for here can be two

16:39 , right? It certainly can be , right? So, uh every

16:44 everybody picked, um, well, everybody picked fish. OK.

16:49 you know that DNA here, of , will be synthesized in the protein

16:53 in the protein. OK? So is gonna be one of the

16:58 If, if you think that's the one, but there's actually another

17:01 right? So remember we go from to MRN A, right? And

17:06 , so because we're supplying MRN A the hippo, then that too will

17:12 expressed. OK? So it's actually and fish, OK? Are

17:18 OK? So, um so it's about really just this right here,

17:23 of information. OK? So let's at the next question, right?

17:26 , we'll summarize all this here in couple more slides. OK. This

17:32 this is asking about. So a of terms here when, when we're

17:35 into a gene expression, right? phenotype genotype is one of those.

17:41 . So um which of the following is are true regarding genotype and

17:49 right? So you get ABC and there. So take a look.

18:18 So I read thinking this over in of context to you know,

18:24 infectious diseases, right? So ability make a back seat is based on

18:30 the genes involved that cause disease, virus, right? And then be

18:36 to um express that right? Um uh be factors expressing those right?

18:45 comes from this process. OK. . Yeah. Yeah. Hey,

19:19 from 20. Mhm. OK. Stranglers. Here we go.

19:51 OK. Uh Let's do the next . Then we're gonna come back and

19:55 these points. OK. Um The is, is that one?

20:05 OK. Yeah. So we'll, come back, we'll let's look at

20:13 one. This, this is a way to frame a question.

20:19 So we've got uh bacterium has been that a region of the chromosome designated

20:28 , right X region comprises a specific coding sequence of nucleotides. Right.

20:37 The sequence can be converted into protein when the cells are grown on

20:44 kind of sugar, kind of Um So we only see the protein

20:48 X when it's grown on galactose. . Um Which of the following statements

20:55 true regarding this information. OK. there are choices. OK. Um

22:08 . Cut out from eight, I 32. OK. All right.

22:21 let's do a little bit of OK. Let's go back to this

22:26 . OK. So um genotype So if you relate it to

22:34 let's just go back to this, thing right here. Flow of

22:38 OK. Genotype is right here. is a genotype. We express

22:44 So when you, when you convert into a protein, we call that

22:49 expression. OK? Expressing the DNA a protein form. OK. So

22:55 um so DNA is the genotype proteins the type, of course,

23:05 It's the, it's the working Genotype maybe is one way to think

23:10 it. OK. So um so , they're not the same thing

23:16 like they're two different things. You can't use it interchangeably. Um

23:22 C is written uh backwards. The represents the expression of the genotype.

23:30 , it's, it's, it's a and, and C is written

23:33 So phenotype represents the the expression of genotype. You express the genotype into

23:39 protein of some kind of function. . Um D is false because um

23:47 of your own body, right? can see if you have like brown

23:51 and blue eyes would have you brown , whatever, right? You can

23:54 those traits are visible obviously, but have a bunch of chemical chemical reactions

24:00 on inside you, right? That necessarily show themselves as the naked

24:05 right? So, uh so B not just visible traits. OK.

24:11 , but certainly it's, it's the is con is the constant,

24:15 It's the DNA, it's your right? They're, they're there,

24:19 ? And they can be um converted to, into these protein proteins uh

24:27 they contain a sequence to, to those OK? And we can produce

24:31 at, you know, when, needed. Uh and so, uh

24:35 represents the, the um the let's call it of expression,

24:41 The genes are always there, are expressed, are they not,

24:45 That is um dictated by the needs the organism. Uh You have genes

24:53 haven't expressed since you were a right? And why don't you need

24:57 express those now? Well, you're a zygote anymore, right? So

25:00 went from zygote to, to right? There have been a lot

25:05 changes that occurred obviously, right? so you had to have certain genes

25:10 during that time, specific to that , right? But you're already fully

25:14 . You don't need those, you need that expression anymore. So you

25:17 need it, right? So those basically have been in storage now for

25:21 long time. Um, if you to clone yourself, ok, you

25:27 need to revive those genes again, ? Um, but, you

25:31 I don't think anybody is gonna do any time soon. But um the

25:35 is that that's the realm of gene , right? Of controlling what's on

25:40 what's off, et cetera. Um OK. Any questions about

25:48 OK. I, OK. So I know this may sound super basic

25:54 I mean, it probably doesn't hurt have a refresher on this.

25:58 So this question. All right. X is certainly a G.

26:06 It's a specific protein coding sequence of . That's a definition of A

26:13 OK. Uh One thing that just in the back of your head is

26:18 not all, although most are most are protein coding, there are some

26:25 aren't, the end product is simply RN A molecule. OK? Things

26:32 ribosomes, right? Ribosome or RN is a component of a ribosome,

26:38 ? Transfer RN A is helps you DNA to, to, to protein

26:44 A to protein. So you do products that are just RN A molecules

26:49 have functions. Uh But as I , most of your protein, most

26:55 your genes are protein coating, but are some that aren't OK. Um

27:01 . So this thing here, this X can only be converted to protein

27:06 cells are grown on galactose. That's in the realm of regulation.

27:11 And so it only expresses the galactose galactose is present, which, which

27:17 sense. I remember um that having about metabolism, anabolism before that um

27:27 gene expression is a heavily anabolic You're, you're building stuff,

27:33 You are first making a transcript, you're making a protein that's building

27:37 right? It takes a lot of . OK? So you only wanna

27:43 those genes being expressed that, that need because otherwise you're just wasting

27:49 OK? And so um so control a big part of this and we

27:53 really, we don't go into But uh it, it is a

27:55 part of, of, of any thing is controlling these various genes.

28:01 , um uh so the reno type not present all times. In this

28:06 , it's only present when galactose is , right? Otherwise it's not,

28:10 don't know, it's, it's, there. OK? Uh The X

28:15 is DNA, it's a gene is a protein, OK? Uh It's

28:19 into one. OK? But the sequence itself is DNA. OK?

28:24 this example, uh the conversion of DNA sequence into a protein starts with

28:31 to the X. No rnap binds DNA makes a transcript that then is

28:39 ribosomes bind to. OK. And , we'll go through, through the

28:42 of it. OK. So the one that's true here is D the

28:47 sequence is a gene and genes are genotype. OK. Um Any questions

28:55 that? Yeah. Right. uh let's go here. All

29:03 So here are some examples of right. So we can look at

29:06 um you can look at a E under a microscope, right? Electron

29:10 here. You can see the structures . Um Now, here's the nucleoid

29:17 the chromosome, right? And so can express this is one of 3000

29:23 and E coli has is lactose lac for lactose uh fermentation. OK.

29:30 it has it and lactose is then you it'll use it,

29:34 And we can see the phenotype in we test for it, right.

29:38 you'll be doing this in lab This week. In fact, you

29:42 the lactose uh fermentation. So you ph indicator. So this is telling

29:47 fermentation is or acidic change is a indicator. Yellow. Oh That's that's

29:52 positive phenotype for lactose. It must the lactose Z OK. You can

29:59 see that on a plate, Red color is uh again, color

30:04 , acidic fermentation, right? Colorless . They those guys can't ferment

30:09 right? So very basic uh qualitative quant quality of test for this

30:15 Ok. So no, but the a phenotype is the functioning of protein

30:21 , right? In a cell, ? Uh when those proteins don't

30:25 right, then things can happen, ? Sometimes, usually not good.

30:31 . So um here's another phenotype, ? Growths on blood, right?

30:37 if the cell has the ability to um destroy the red blood cells

30:41 it, then it'll have an enzyme it and you'll see clear zones around

30:47 cells. OK. So again, another expression of phenotype, right?

30:52 always expressed only express when there's red cells around, right? Otherwise you

30:57 see it right? So phenotypes can and go. But you know,

31:02 they're seen or not, depends on needs of the cell really.

31:07 Um All right. So here's another of way of looking at this.

31:13 um you know, tying the phenotype genotype into an expression. OK.

31:19 this is a, what's it called rapid uh ID test kit?

31:26 Um Basically, it's like a uh inch long cylinder and it has multiple

31:33 each one for a different biochemical OK. So it actually has a

31:39 loop that runs through the whole You actually take a top uh the

31:42 , the uh the one end of comes off, exposing the loop.

31:47 you like flame it right, touch colony and then slide it through and

31:52 basically innoculates all the compartments at one . OK. So if you had

31:56 for the unknown project, you'd be in like two days. OK?

32:00 But anyway, uh so we um based on different color reactions, it

32:05 you, OK. It's positive for test negative for that one,

32:08 blah, blah. And you get , you get like a, you

32:11 tally up the pluses and minuses and get like a code number code and

32:16 tells you what it is. Hey, we're just gonna focus on

32:19 compartment here, right? So this urea test. This is, and

32:22 are tests done for enteric organisms like coli and et cetera. OK?

32:28 so a positive result is a purple . All right. So if it

32:32 that color, it's got that right? And so you go

32:35 well, what does that mean? . Well, this, this back

32:40 , right? So that means that organism has this enzyme urease enzyme.

32:46 ? You can carry out this reaction is urea uh hydroly it uh producing

32:51 ammonia. OK. This produces makes a, makes a purplish

32:57 OK? And so OK, that's what it is on the protein

33:02 , right? This is a So OK. Well, then that

33:05 translate to some genes in, in way, right? So then we

33:09 back down to here. So this is uh gram negative has this

33:16 somewhere on its chromosome. OK? So we do the expression process,

33:21 ? So a plym brings about, us a copy of an RN,

33:26 copy of the gene. OK? The way we have, why,

33:32 do it this way? Well, that produces an MRN a, a

33:38 RN, a transcript mean the same . OK. Same thing. And

33:43 , um, we, this, process here can be carried out at

33:49 time. It, of course, depends on the needs of the

33:53 Things are controlling when this happens or happen. OK? But, but

33:58 , that's, that's the case. ? So the gene itself is the

34:03 thing here. OK? Not always , but when it needs to,

34:07 can be, right? So these the RNAs, the messenger RNAs,

34:13 transcripts become the, the um working if you will like the xerox machine

34:20 you have your copy of the Now that's, that's the working

34:23 And you can then, and these last, these don't last for life

34:27 the cell once they're made certainly in , they last maybe two or three

34:32 , they're gone, they just They're, they're degraded, right?

34:36 you don't want them hanging around right? If they are, then

34:41 will be expressed. So transcription, first part, second part translation,

34:49 ? This is where ribosome. So have different RN A molecules becoming involved

34:53 , in the process of going from to protein. OK? So you

34:58 MRN A, you have a ply make AM RN A and MRN A

35:04 as a template for RS. And so this is kind of where

35:09 comes together, right? Ribosome binds the transcript. It's like a platform

35:16 for Trnas to come in. Because these guys are carrying amino

35:23 So remember, proteins are sequences of acids, right? So, amino

35:28 are inserted based on the position of nucleotides in the transcript, which is

35:35 on the position of the nucleotides in DNA. OK. So this is

35:42 the the information but we're just converting into a little bit of a different

35:47 right into RN A form because that make us our copies of transcripts that

35:52 we can then translate into protein. , and these things move down transcript

36:00 as they do produce a protein, . So remember, you know,

36:05 pro caros right, we can you have multiples of these on a transcript

36:10 poly rhizome formation, right? So can make a lots of protein very

36:15 . OK. So um then this last part of this is to

36:21 Remember that proteins have a very specific dimensional structure, right? If they

36:27 get into that form, they don't , right? And so a big

36:31 of it is to then fold up . OK? And then be a

36:36 enzyme. OK. So um so so again, these Mrnas don't last

36:44 long OK. While they do, are expressed into protein. OK.

36:51 , and that's OK. If they , you can always make more,

36:55 . And that's what the essence of is only, only doing this when

37:00 . OK. Produce, right? remember you can produce lots of

37:04 uh, lots of protein because of polyribosome effect, right? But then

37:09 can also very quickly shut it all . And so that's what really,

37:13 it's about is being efficient with all . OK? Only express what you

37:19 , shut it down when you don't it. And, and you

37:23 it's, and for most genes, , I'll say it's not necessarily

37:28 they're all off or they're all If they're on, it can be

37:33 continuum, they can be kind of level, maybe in the middle.

37:37 , it just depends, depends on , what's going on with the cell

37:41 . OK. But again, this here is, as I mentioned,

37:46 the same in us. It's the in a Coors, the same in

37:49 mouse, the same in the It's the same in a blue bonnet

37:52 . OK. Um So uh it's what it is, right?

37:58 how we are able to do the we do, right. That's why

38:03 any cell they're full of ribosomes, ? Because this, this kind of

38:08 is occurring all the time. And um uh it's basically what enables

38:14 to function. OK. And granted proteins are probably enzymes of some sort

38:20 carry out chemical reactions, but there some that have strictly structural functions.

38:26 . Um So putting a magnetic context infectious disease, right? Virulence

38:31 This is how they are produced. . So um uh the vaccines,

38:38 ? Uh the COVID vaccine is an A vaccine. OK. So this

38:43 the method of delivery in the vaccine is was transcripts. Um but the

38:49 uh synthesized uh viral parts when when you expressed it, viral parts

38:55 produced and then those went on the to alert your immune system,

39:00 we'll talk about that later. but just while we're here,

39:03 that's, that's what the COVID vaccine , is, is this and

39:08 it's expressing viral proteins. OK. um the uh OK. So phenotype

39:16 . So certainly genotype here, here the genotype, right? We're producing

39:20 phenotype right here. A positive So, um OK, it's a

39:26 bit more the same here. So , we've talked mentioned these already.

39:32 So here the begin the process, ? DNA RN A, the protein

39:36 have different parts involved, right? how are these connected? Well,

39:41 connected through, right? Various RN molecules and bring about bring about the

39:48 , right? We have a genotype and DNA and we convert that in

39:52 protein to the action of RN A to make a transcript ribosomes to bind

39:59 to the, to the um transcript to help bring the amino acids to

40:05 um to the site and then in process of making a protein.

40:09 So it's different types of RN A that are, that are bringing this

40:14 about that. Uh How do it the genotype effect phenotype? That's what

40:20 talk about at the end, So if you make changes in the

40:24 , you, you change the actual in there, then you're gonna

40:28 that's gonna result in different, could in differences in amino acid sequences,

40:34 ? So that's, and then that result in proteins that maybe don't

40:38 right? OK. So many genetic are of that type where you produce

40:45 proteins because you have mutated genes. ? And that's what um gene therapy

40:51 all about. Our, our, method is to kind of fix those

40:55 and get back to the original gene uh sequence should be to make a

41:00 protein. So, um how would in fact preserve that's preserved through the

41:09 of DNA? Right? So a divides um DNA is copied and given

41:15 um each daughter's cell, right? it's, you carry out it's multiple

41:20 , but that's how you can you preserve the material uh in that

41:25 , right? You have a right? Your, your genes are

41:28 to the next generation. OK. OK. Let's see what we got

41:37 . OK. Uh Any questions about ? OK. All right.

41:44 All right. So let's look at . All right. So the pro

41:48 genome, so your genome. So genome period, when you hear that

41:52 like what is the total amount of material in the organism? OK.

42:01 us it's our 46 chromosomes. That's our genome. That's the human

42:07 . Um For most procaryotes, um bacteria, it's a sin single

42:17 chromosome. OK. And can be associated plasma. Uh This is just

42:24 . So chromosome of course, is large plasmas are very small.

42:29 So a chromosome can be mm a base pairs give or take on

42:35 A plasm is like 7000, 10,000 on average so much smaller. And

42:45 , but a bacterium or an archaea have its chromosome, right? But

42:49 multiple of these plains. OK? we'll talk more about plains in on

42:56 in the context of um movement of of genetic material between cells.

43:02 one of the ways they do right? Many antibiotic resistances, those

43:07 are on plasmas. OK. So , so pro genome can be it's

43:13 plus any plasmas. It it has , not, not all but many

43:19 and it would be part of the that it's so inheritance, right?

43:24 we're sexually reproducing beings, obviously. we, you know, we have

43:28 reproduction, right? Male and female of the species mate and have a

43:33 , right? So, but pro can't do that. Right. So

43:38 we call vertical transmission, which is I just described, you know,

43:41 humans do, right? Um, we do so using um genetically dissimilar

43:49 , right? Your mother and father clones? But they're genetically different.

43:53 . Not a lot. That maybe difference. But, um, but

43:59 , and they're producing a hybrid, ? We're all hybrids, right?

44:02 products of genetically dissimilar parents. A bacterium right? Here's a

44:10 OK. This uh theoretically, On paper, these are genetically identical

44:17 , right? They think mitosis, ? Your skin cells divide by

44:23 they're gonna be identical cells. Similarly, in binary fission,

44:28 We've got two genetically equivalent cells. ? That's vertical transmission, right?

44:35 , think parent, the child or cell, the daughter cell, that's

44:38 vertical. OK. So, um what's missing here is, is,

44:45 this kind of goes back to understanding basics, the very basics of

44:51 right? Where uh variation, genetic is the key to success.

44:59 Successful species have genetic variation. Now, that depends on the environment

45:06 in that they live in, but won't go down in the weeds with

45:11 . So let's just kind of keep , you know, let's just say

45:13 everybody in, if we were all , every if we were all genetically

45:19 in this room, right? Uh we all had, we would all

45:24 um uh react or adapt in the way to any changes that might

45:30 OK? Because you're all clones, all the same, same protein,

45:34 everything you're going to adapt, you're to um react in the same way

45:40 a condition. OK? But if got subpopulation that vary a little

45:47 OK, then there's a chance that something happens, changes the current environment

45:52 maybe this subgroup has a better combination genes and they'll better survive. It

45:58 that species to survive, right? variation obviously is a good thing,

46:05 ? If you didn't have variation, wouldn't have that. OK. And

46:09 what do bacteria do you look at and go well, it's a xerox

46:13 , right? Just punch how many you want, right? Everybody's

46:17 Well, not quite OK, because can have mutation here, mutations can

46:22 here that can be passed on. . Uh And that's one way

46:27 they have variation. We, we do that but we also

46:31 we mate with genetically dissimilar individuals. that introduces a variation, right?

46:35 I remember um you remember um uh , right? The production of

46:42 right? So the gametes in your are one cell type that are genetically

46:48 from your other cells, right? of the process of meiosis generates

46:52 right? But in a bacterium, know, you can have mutations here

46:57 are translated to here. Um But they have the ability to do

47:01 this is something we can't do. that's OK for I had, I

47:07 a different sequence here than I All right. So the vertical

47:10 So again, relating back to preserving genome, right, copy it.

47:15 one gets a copy, right? this semiconservative application again, universal,

47:20 how all DNA is copied for the part here on earth. OK.

47:25 so all that means is it eats , right? So here's our,

47:32 , our uh back up. So our DNA. So in the process

47:35 replication, we're gonna copy each OK? Each strand is a template

47:43 there we go. OK. So of this complementary base pairing,

47:49 So the, the strands we copy way and we end up with two

47:55 copies. OK? And so, , universal process is how all things

48:00 earth replicate. Um And so uh preserves the genetic material. OK.

48:08 , here's, here's what I was to earlier. So uh so bacteria

48:11 do this, of course, like any other living thing, but they

48:16 also do horizontal transmission. That's what talk about on Thursday. But um

48:21 they can mate, so to speak acquire DNA from other members in the

48:27 , right? So it's not a transmission, it's horizontal transmission.

48:31 They can be uh members of the species, maybe not of the same

48:36 . OK. So, um and different mechanisms by which this happens,

48:41 go, we'll go through that on . But um it's, it's really

48:46 many types of antibiotic resistance are transferred spread rapidly in the population through these

48:53 of mechanisms. OK. But it a way uh to introduce variation,

49:00 ? So mutation and horizontal gene you can acquire this, this,

49:06 hypothetical cell here could acquire different genes another organism this way. OK.

49:11 another closely related or maybe not so related bacterium, it can acquire new

49:17 that way. So variation, Introduce variation. And so um

49:24 so or no, so the nuclear based sequences. So what, what

49:27 like a it might be just a sequence of A S and GS and

49:33 and CS is actually not random the very specific sequence. OK?

49:39 codes for a specific protein. And so OK. So let's look

49:44 this question here, right? So genetic code, right? So complete

49:51 . OK. Um Gene, the code is blank, blank.

50:01 So remember Jack Code, that's that it'll uh a code book,

50:08 That's what you look up to OK. What does this, what

50:11 this mean? And what does this mean? OK. OK.

50:52 It's counted down to 10. Some people let's see. So we

51:05 C OK. So the genetic code that little booklet or table,

51:12 Better or that table you look up you go OK, what does um

51:18 nucleotide sequence mean? In terms of amino acid sequence, right? So

51:23 what we're doing here in gene expression going from a DNA to an RN

51:28 form then ultimately to a protein, ? So it's a sequence of,

51:33 , of amino acids. So the code is actually not DNA, you

51:38 think that, but it's not We are, um, the genetic

51:46 tells us what that DNA sequence basically , so to speak. OK?

51:50 more correctly, it's what is the RN A, right? So we

51:54 DNA, messenger RN A and then is what is read by the

52:00 OK. And that's where Trnas come , right? Read nucleotide base in

52:09 messenger RN A. OK? And , OK, this is a

52:14 This is a next one is a a, next one is bla

52:19 OK. So it's, it's not , it's not determined by the

52:24 OK? It doesn't have anything with numbers. Uh But it's C

52:30 And so, uh and you'll see , let me look at this

52:35 OK. Uh Here. OK. um so here is a segment of

52:42 here. OK. And so the , this stuff is universal,

52:48 There's terms we use when we talk nucleic acids. OK? And so

52:54 of those is this sense, antisense , uh plus minus coding,

53:02 right? So these terms all go . And so it's the same

53:07 So here we're looking at DNA double , right. It's the same

53:12 All, all that applies if you're about DNA, DNA, DNA RN

53:20 rnarn A, right? You can hybrid, all three hybrids.

53:25 Um, and that's especially helpful to this. We start talking about viruses

53:33 viruses can have all three types of hybrids. But it doesn't matter because

53:38 language is the same. Right? , it's all about the relationship of

53:43 strand to the other, right? you see here, double strand of

53:47 , like we've got in our one strand is a plus or sense

53:53 coding strand, the other one is and it's called the antisense the template

54:00 the minus strand. OK. And true again, whether it's DNA,

54:05 , DNA rnarnar, those relationships are same. OK? And so the

54:11 thing to note and I'm not gonna on this but, but the,

54:15 see the five, right? The and the three here, right?

54:19 that there's actually a, in all of nucleic acids are the same.

54:26 ? And my pen is not So let me there's gonna be a

54:29 here and that's gonna be a OK? So you have a 5

54:36 3, a 3 to 5 complimentary each other, right? It's just

54:42 , it's just the, the language use when talking about the, doesn't

54:46 what source or whatever. OK? what, it's how you refer to

54:51 . OK? And it just has do with the actual chemistry of the

54:56 , you number the carbons and I'm , I don't wanna go into

54:58 but that, that, that's where numbers are coming from. And

55:01 you just have those ants, the and the three prime they call

55:04 OK. And so the, the reason to remember that is, is

55:10 in terms of a ribosome, Because here is RN A now and

55:14 know it's RN A because it has US. So you see us in

55:20 sequence, it's R A, if see TS instead of use it's

55:26 OK. And so you see here five, right? So again,

55:30 it's DNA to DNA, DNA, rnarnarn A, they were gonna be

55:35 is 53, the complementary strand is to 5 to it. OK.

55:41 universal. So, so what about ? Well, this is one of

55:46 , so whats right? So when R translates, it's going to attach

55:53 the five prime pin and go three . OK. As you see

55:59 and this is what attracts it to site is a ribosome binding site.

56:03 sees that binds and off it goes . So, and once it

56:09 then it's free. Now another one pop on, then another one,

56:13 another one. So that's how these can line up with ribosomes.

56:17 So, um OK. Uh let's here. I'm getting ahead of myself

56:22 little bit. So, let's look um OK. So the genetic code

56:28 is based on the transcript, So we're gonna, we're gonna read

56:32 and this sequence here of ribo nucleotides tell us uh what the actual polypeptide

56:42 is. OK. And it So through the action of transfer

56:48 Right. So we have transcriptions right, transcribing a gene a then

56:56 . Right. Right. Was on and transfer RNAs come in, they

57:00 recognize codons, right? This is three base sequences that's a codon,

57:07 ? And um the ribosome can recognize . So you have ribosomes that are

57:12 for each of those. OK. we can see that I'll refer back

57:16 this picture in a second. So here, so this is just kind

57:21 meant to, to help you understand plus minus the sense anti sense.

57:26 um so the terms that are synonymous each other plus plus sense in

57:34 plus sense, coding mean same thing antisense, noncoding template, all

57:43 OK. So uh OK. So is our, this could be your

57:48 . OK. We have one called sense one called the anti sense.

57:52 the sense strand is containing, that's the the important info, that's

57:57 , that's the sequence of bases that what protein will be made.

58:03 And so when we, when we a transcript, we, what we

58:08 is that we want the sense strand that's the coding information, right.

58:12 we're making an RN A form of , right? And this is how

58:16 happens. So if we want we copy the anti scent strand,

58:22 with our RN A PLY and when do that, we get this,

58:28 ? So if you compare that MRN to the top five prime sense

58:35 you see they're the same, GG A AAA GG A, of

58:41 , when you get to a thine T that's a cell, but it's

58:47 , right? So this is, we made an MRN A that's identical

58:50 our coding strand and we did it we copied the anti sense strand.

58:56 . Well, it all has to with the, the nature of complementary

58:59 pairing, right? That's why it's this way. So the other

59:03 to kind of remember is when you a plus strand, you make a

59:09 strand, when you copy a you make a plus, if you

59:14 kind of stamp that in your brain when we get to viral, a

59:19 a viruses and how they replicate, where you wanna gonna wanna remember this

59:25 the plus minus minus plus can confuse . But that, that's what,

59:29 what that refers to. OK. um OK. What was it?

59:36 . And this just shows you um we, we, we break these

59:41 into three base sequences. OK. there's, and there's a,

59:45 there's punctuation, let's say lack of better word in the transcript, there's

59:50 like a sentence, you know, of a sentence, right? Is

59:54 first letter, the first word is . Uh There may be a comma

59:58 there, uh that it ends with period, right? So there's,

60:02 , that's how we know what the is, right? And how it

60:05 and ends. Similarly. There's, similar pun punctuation, right? And

60:11 we're gonna see that here. So uh so here's the genetic

60:16 right? So you see it's, RN A, it's not DNA,

60:20 ? Because you have cells here, ? And so um and it's what

60:26 call redundant, right? So you that for vale, for example,

60:30 L there's 1234 codons that correspond right? And similarly, for the

60:37 , there's multiple types. OK? what's meant by redundancy, there's repeatability

60:42 the sequence. OK? And you know, there's 20 amino acids

60:46 64 codons. OK? And so punctuation comes here, start, hold

60:52 , stop codon. That's your beginning the sentence, end of sentence.

60:58 ? And so here's an example. here's our uh sense, our coding

61:03 , we're gonna copy the anti right? To get our MRN

61:08 OK? And so now we go , what's, how do we know

61:12 what here? Well, that's how look for the punctuation marks,

61:16 So, a UG Ccaggg and so until we get to one of these

61:23 cos that's the end sentence. And this, this, this marks

61:29 polypeptide, right? And so, and the, and that it

61:35 you can look these up on the but it, it translates into me

61:39 gly, OK. And so one to note, OK. Um The

61:46 in the A UG start codon very uh like problems involving, OK,

61:54 a sequence translated, right? They make it very easy for you and

61:58 have, it'll just begin like right? Make it very easy that

62:03 UGS at the beginning in reality, a transcript, A UG is never

62:09 , the A in A UG is the first base. OK? There's

62:13 bases into the transcript. You can that just put back up just for

62:16 second. You can see that here ? Here is the A UG actually

62:22 here, but there's, there's sequences that, right? So don't,

62:26 look for it at the very right? Just start at the five

62:32 because that's how rhizome reads it. how ribosome is gonna read. It

62:35 5 to 3. So you look , where, where's the first instance

62:40 an A UG? And that's where start. OK. And so this

62:45 a very basic example, obviously, that's what you're doing. So it

62:49 be preceded by multiple nucleotides up But you keep going and go oh

62:53 . Where's the A UG Bang Then you go 123123 so forth.

63:00 . Um All right. So it's to remember that. OK. Um

63:06 right. All right. Any questions , you know, again,

63:14 this is as much detail as going than this in terms of detail.

63:19 . So it's really just knowing, the, the um you know,

63:27 are the parts involved? You and we're not going deeper than

63:30 right? Transcription involves that translation involves . OK. Um So you

63:37 the um you know, the anti sense strand, you know,

63:41 you uh you know, I think you just look at this diagram,

63:45 think they can, they can help you have questions. Let me

63:48 OK. Uh But I mean, , this is all universal,

63:51 This is how it happens in every thing. OK? Um And then

63:56 the gene code table. OK? And then the how you decide for

64:02 transcript? OK. So uh go ahead. Oh I, I

64:18 you are you do you do you to know like the coons and amino

64:22 ? They could for no, absolutely . Do not memorize this tape.

64:28 . Do not memorize that table. . No, you don't to memorize

64:34 . No, I mean, I think there may be one question

64:39 this song. I think at the has there may be a question like

64:41 ? It has the table there. yeah. Yeah. Memorizing these

64:45 My God. Don't, don't do . I don't even know what they

64:48 . I mean, I don't have stuff memorized. Ok. Um,

64:52 , it's one of those things, you end up, you know,

64:56 in gene expression or whatever might be , you kind of just know it

65:00 , you know, you don't even it. Absolutely not any other

65:05 Yeah. 20 years and 14. . You, ok. So,

65:18 , the point of that was in reality when you're, when you're

65:23 for these things, um you will that the A UG is never at

65:30 very beginning of the transcript, There's always like several nucleotides before it

65:36 up. So the, so the there was, I didn't really show

65:38 that. Well, I only have here, but in reality, there

65:42 be 30 or 40. And so just start, you start landmark is

65:47 , you start at the five prime and you go, OK,

65:50 here I go. Where's the first UG show up? And then that's

65:56 that and then you go. All . Yeah. Uh Any other

66:01 OK. All right. Uh Let's . OK. So this um just

66:08 little bit about and we're not gonna deep into this but uh mutation.

66:14 these are, of course, can a source of variation it and these

66:19 called by various things, right? The, but what they do is

66:25 alter the nucleotide sequence. The right? We're only gonna focus on

66:30 single based changes, right? And base is simply just a nucleotide is

66:35 of the, is an A AG or a, right. So we're

66:38 gonna focus on those types which are common, rather common. Um And

66:44 you can change them right through what call munos, uh chemicals,

66:50 radiation can cause this. Um it to us, right? You have

66:54 sunburn that sunburn. You have basically radiation to create mutations in your skin

67:01 . DNA, right? And you rid of those, you know,

67:06 you know your skin gets uh red it peels, right? The peeling

67:09 basically one of those dead cells that , that are damaged. OK.

67:13 , but you are definitely creating mutations . OK? But your body has

67:17 way to say, OK, these bad cells, let's get rid of

67:20 , right? So that's, that's good thing, obviously. Um But

67:25 um the skin cancers, right, you have like a mold and things

67:28 that, that don't um you're too for that, but uh they uh

67:32 will uh can be cancer cancerous and , they due to radiation that initiated

67:38 mutations. So um and so this be passed on. OK. And

67:44 the um uh so the effects of mutation, OK. For the most

67:51 , a mutation either has no effect it's bad. OK. That's usually

67:57 case. But not always right. we know this because, you

68:02 evolution has shows us that mutations have to various types of, of

68:11 innovations in life. So certainly it happens, ok, for

68:15 But, um, what we call silent mutation, that's one that has

68:19 effect, it occurs. You don't know anything has happened because there's no

68:23 at all. Ok. Lethal. pretty self explanatory. That's gonna end

68:27 killing the organism. OK? Are , right? But you can only

68:34 these, the effect. OK? the context of OK, this organism

68:41 a mutation, what's gonna happen? , if it's bad, it'll

68:48 All right. If it's silent, no effect. Is it beneficial?

68:52 that you can only really evaluate as organism reproduces and produces more offspring than

69:01 generation and so forth. And then see, OK. Is this mutation

69:05 an effect in terms of, these, this species is now surviving

69:10 . These people with these ones with mutation are surviving better. And so

69:14 you can say, oh yeah, , that's a beneficial mutation.

69:19 So you have to see it it's more time effect to it.

69:22 have to see it in the, the sub successive generations. Is it

69:27 ? Is it helpful? That's how evaluate? OK. Uh The

69:32 I think we talked about this So if you, if a veteran

69:37 a deficiency, it can't make it can't make an amino acid.

69:42 can, you can call it an , specifically the Oxytrol for that particular

69:47 . OK. And so uh spontaneous , these are just mistakes that happen

69:52 replication. Uh You do have you do have the ability to fix

69:57 . OK? We, we have very good ability to do that.

70:01 . But other forms can do it not at the same level,

70:05 So we're about one per 10 to 10th. OK. Very low.

70:11 But bacteria are kind of in this , right? So they can because

70:15 grow so fast, right? One colony on a plate is a million

70:19 more cells, right? So even a single colony with a, with

70:24 spontaneous mutation rate like this, you'll a couple in there that probably have

70:28 kind of mutation because they grow so , right? So, um but

70:33 a, it's a way to make , right? Potentially. OK.

70:36 the, the mutations we're gonna look are simply just changing one of the

70:41 in the sequence and what's the OK. And so here's our,

70:46 just a segment of a normal quote muted sequence, right? T through

70:53 here, right? So that gives this transcript and gives us this amino

70:57 sequence. OK. All right. what happens if you make changes

71:02 Well, here is one. So in this sense mutation, so

71:07 gonna focus here on this one in . So we're gonna change. So

71:12 was ac, right? And it's be changed to A T.

71:16 Me. So what's the result? , when we make a transcript of

71:21 , right, we've now cha have A there instead of A G.

71:26 . And so that changes the amino sequence. It was glycine in that

71:32 . Now, it's Siri. So the mis mis sense mutation is

71:40 where, you know, is is it good, bad or

71:44 Well, um it depends the change made glycine is soon. So remember

71:51 your amino acids can, they're grouped on kind of their similar chemistry?

71:58 . And so if they happen to very different chemically, OK, then

72:04 can have a substantial effect, Because remember, you know, they're

72:08 you these as straight lines, the aren't some specific shapes. OK?

72:13 if you fiddle with the shape, can lose function and what controls the

72:17 , it's interactions between amino acids charge , uh hydrophobic interactions um sometimes are

72:27 . So it just, it just and if you, if you change

72:30 too much, then that can change structure, right? So maybe it's

72:35 100% functional, maybe it's only 50% or maybe it's not functional at all

72:40 maybe it's very close, right? it just depends on the nature of

72:45 change and the chemical difference between the types. OK? Um It could

72:53 that maybe a change occurs. That , it's still the same amino acid

72:57 would be a silent mutation, So, it, it,

73:00 it's, the sequence has changed but , it hasn't changed enough. It's

73:03 remember you have multiple codons for the amino acid, it could be that

73:07 still stays in the glycine. just depends. Ok. So a

73:13 of other changes that might occur again, here's our normal sequence is

73:19 nonsense mutation, right? So here changing the T to an A and

73:26 produces a uag stop codon. So you produce a protein that's only a

73:33 of the size. It's supposed to , these are generally lethal. These

73:37 not gonna be functional. OK? gonna be probably mostly bad.

73:43 And I can imagine a scenario where gonna be really functional, right?

73:47 then this one a frame. So basically, either deleting completely or

73:56 adding a base. And if you're that, you're altering the sequence at

74:03 point after the change. OK. we're normal right here here, but

74:11 changed, deleted that base. we've altered the sequence and those,

74:19 are generally lethal as well, Lethal, lethal. The scents are

74:24 the only ones that you may have chance of it being OK? Maybe

74:28 , right? But these two generally good. Ok. Um All

74:35 we'll review this again at the start time, folks. Thanks. See

74:40 Thursday. So Yeah.
