TYPES OF NON CODING SEQUENCES

  GENES  The gene is a nucleic acid sequence that is necessary for function of gene product.  Gene may be a protein coding gene whose transcribed RNA is translated into proteins or RNA only genes.  Protein coding genes may be solitary or families or tandem repeats NON –CODING SEQUENCE   The non coding sequence are genes that do not encode the protein.  The amount of non-coding sequence in DNA of organism varies among species.  Eg-Human genome -98% non-coding genes  Prokaryotes -10% non-coding genes  Types of Non coding sequences The non coding sequences can be in the form of following Introns  Anti leader and Anti trailer sequence Promoter sequence Enhancers Pseudogenes Gene fragments Telomeres Non-coding functional RNA Cis-Trans regulatory elements INTRONS  Introns are non-coding sequence that transcribed into RNA  But precursor mRNA removed by splicing during processing.  The eukaryotic genome has large amount of introns...

Glycolysis

GLYCOLYSIS
             Glycolysis pathway is also known as Embeden Mayerhoff pathway or EMP pathway.
OCCURRENCE
         It occurs in all cell in body in the cytoplasm. 
DEFINITION
          Glycolysis is defined as sequence of reactions converting glucose to pyruvate or lactate with production of ATP.
TYPES
1.AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS
2.ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS

AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS
             It is known as aerobic glycolysis because ATP or energy used by this pathway is available due to oxidative phosphorylation(a O2 dependent pathway).
            The pyruvate is the end product of aerobic glycolysis.
            The pyruvate product of aerobicc glycolysis will be entered into oxidative phosphorylation.
During aerobic glycolysis 2,3 bisphospho glycerate is a intermediate formed which is major agent in reducing affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin.Thus increases unloading of more oxygen into tissues.

AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS
           This aerobic glycolysis pathway can also be divided into 
1.PRIMING PHASE OR PREPARING PHASE
2.SPLITTING PHASE
3.ENERGY GENERATION PHASE
   1.GLYCOLYSIS -PRIMING PHASE
.     2. SPLITTING PHASE
.    3. ENERGY PRODUCTION PHASE
 ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS:
              Under anaerobic condition pyruvate converted to lactate in the presence of enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase with the help of NADH + H+.
              This reaction is carried out in skeletal muscle during heavy exercises when oxygen supply is limited.
GLYCOLYSIS -REGULATION
There are 3 irreversible enzymes that regulate glycolysis.
 1.HEXOKINASE;
         It is inhibited by glucose -6 –phosphate through feedback inhibition.
 2.PHOSPHO FRUCTO KINASE;
       It is regulated by ATP and citrate. INHIBITORS
1.ARSENATE OR IODOACETATE;
It inhibits Glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate Dehydrogenase.
 2.FLUORIDE;
It inhibit Enolase enzyme.
 3.OXAMATE;
It inhibit enzyme Lactate Dehydogenase.

DNA As Genetic material- Key experiments

DNA As Genetic material 1. GRIFFTH EXPERIMENT It is also called as as transformation principle . It involve in bacterial transformation.  Frederick giffth proposed this experiment. The pneumonia bacteria which causes pneumonia is used for this experiment Strains of bacteria:  1.Rough strain  It has rough appearance  It is avirulent and non pathogenic  It does not have capsule  2.Smooth strain  It has smooth glistering appearance  It has capsule made of polysaccharide  It is virulent pathogenic Strains  S types- SI, SII and SIII  R types-RI,RII and RIII  Both S and R types differ in each other antigen  Smooth forms may be mutated to rough forms but the changes are not reversible Procedure  Step 1  The laboratory mice inject With live RII pneumonia  The mice suffered no illness  Because RII pneumonia is avirulent  Step 2  But when mice inject with Virulent SIII pneumonia  The mice suffere...

ORGANISATION OF GENOME

ORGANISATION OF GENOME  Chromatin is compact organisation of DNA sequences are structurally inaccessible and functionally inactive.  Within a cell the DNA is associated with proteins is called chromosomes.  The organisation found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.  The organisation of DNA is essential to fit a DNA of 2metre length (atypical human cell)into a nucleus that is only 10-15µm in diameter. ADVANTAGES OF ORGANISATION: Packaging of DNA into chromosomes hold several functions  First chromosome is a compact form of DNA that readily fits inside cell.  Second packaging DNA into chromosome serve to protect the DNA from damage. Naked DNA molecules are relatively unstable in cells. In contrast chromosomal DNA is extremely stable. Third only packed DNA can be transmitted efficiently to both daughter cells during cell division. Fourth chromosomes confers an overall organisation of DNA , that helps in gene expression and recombination. PROTEINS INVOLVED...
