第 12 章 核酸通论
1. 核酸的发现和研究简史
核酸的发现 1868 年瑞士科学家 F.Miescher 由脓细胞分离得到细胞核,并从中提取出一种含磷量很高的酸性化合物,称为核素( nuclein )。因此,Miescher 被认为是细胞核化学的创始人和 DNA的发现者。
核酸( DNA 和 RNA ) 脱氧核糖核酸 DNA 是细胞中一种十分重要的高分子化合物,其分子量大几十万到几百万,但个头很小,用电子显微镜也看不清楚。一个核酸分子的直径只有五百万分之一厘米, 25万根 DNA 并在一起,才和人的一根头发那么粗。 DNA 很细,但长度却有 1 米多长。 DNA 在细胞中的含量很少,但它却是生命的“主宰者”。
核糖核酸 RNA 也是由磷酸二酯键连接成的无分支的长链大分子,但它只有一条核酸链。主要包括核糖体 RNA ( rRNA ),转运 RNA ( tRNA )和信使 RNA ( mRNA )。
DNA 主要存在于细胞核中,同时在细胞质的线粒体和植物细胞的叶绿体也含有少量。 RNA 可以从细胞核进入到细胞质中发挥信息传递作用。

• Information encoded in a DNA molecule is transcribed via synthesis of an RNA molecule
• The sequence of the RNA molecule is "read" and is translated into the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
Nucleic Acids Are Essential For Information Transfer in Cells
Nucleic Acids• First discovered in 1869 by Miescher.• Found as a precipitate that formed when
extracts from nuclei were treated with acid.
• Compound contained C, N, O, and high amount of P.
• Was an acid compound found in nuclei therefore named nucleic acid
19231923- Use of Schiff reagent, which stains - Use of Schiff reagent, which stains DNA red, shows that it is located almostDNA red, shows that it is located almostexclusively within the exclusively within the chromosomeschromosomes
Nucleic Acids
• 1944 Oswald, Avery, MacLeod and McCarty demonstrated that DNA is the molecule that carrier genetic information.
• 1953 Watson and Crick proposed the double helix model for the structure of DNA
Nucleic Acids
• Nucleic acids are long polymers of nucleotides.
• Nucleotides contain a 5 carbon sugar, a weakly basic nitrogenous compound (base), one or more phosphate groups.
• Nucleosides are similar to nucleotides but have no phosphate groups.

Transformation of bacteriaTransformation of bacteria
i). DNA transformation: in vivo experimentMice are injected either with Type R, non-virulentStreptococcus or with heat-killed, virulent Type S cells.
The mice are healthy.
X
• Mice are injected with both Type R, non-virulent and heat-killed, Type S Streptococcus
• DNA carrying genes fromthe virulent, heat-killed cellstransforms the non-virulentbacterial cells, making themlethal to the mice
TransformationTransformation
• The ability of foreign DNA to change the genetic The ability of foreign DNA to change the genetic characteristics of an organismcharacteristics of an organism
1931 – 1931 – Oswald AveryOswald Avery was able to achieve was able to achieve transformation without an animal host (transformation without an animal host (in vitroin vitro), ), simply by growing simply by growing livelive R-type bacteria in medium R-type bacteria in medium in the presence of components from in the presence of components from deaddead S-forms S-forms

Hershey and Chase Experiment:Hershey and Chase Experiment:
Hypothesis:Hypothesis:• ghosts left on outside are made of protein• genetic material injected into bacteria is DNA
How to Prove?How to Prove?• Radioactively label T2 phage protein with S35
• Radioactively label T2 phage DNA with P32
• DNA high phosphorous, no sulfur• Proteins high sulfur, no phosphorous
• phage does not enter bacterial cell• ghost (empty coat) remains on outside of cell• genetic material injected into bacteria
• this “material” controls phage cell cycle
Why use recombinant Proteins?
• Proteins are often only available in small amounts in a given tissue
• Tissue sources may not be readily available
• It is time consuming and expensive to purify protein from tissues
• It is difficult to obtain absolutely pure protein
Insulin
• Was first purified from human pancreas from cadavers and then from pig pancreas.
• Genentec expressed insulin gene in microbial host
• Can grow microbes in large fermenters to produce unlimited supply of insulin.

Recombinant proteins are also important to research
• For enzyme analysis need pure protein
• For structural analysis need lots (milligram amounts) of very pure protein
• Need pure proteins to make diagnostic tools such as antibodies
How to produce a recombinant protein

0.1 to 1% of

Using isolated genes as diagnostic tools
• Track genetic disorders
• Look at patterns of gene expression to diagnose disease state.
• Gene Therapy
Gene Expression Tools
• Can determine how highly a gene is expressed using nucleic acid hybridization techniques
• Classic method called Northern Blotting – can analyze the expression of one to a few genes in a single experiment.
• Microarray – can analyze the expression of several thousand genes at one time
Northern BlotRNA
TransferRNA
Microarrays
• Can look at the expression of many different genes simultaneously
• Spot DNA of known genes on glass slides (up to 20,000 genes per slide)
• Can compare two sets of RNAs at one time (control Vs treatment)
