GENE MUTATIONS point mutations Gene mutations affect only one gene Transcription Translation DNA sequence ↓ mRNA sequence ↓ Polypeptide ... DNA (antisense strand) mRNA Polypeptide Normal gene GGTCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAGGAGUGCGGU Codons ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Amino acids The antisense strand is the DNA strand which acts as the template for mRNA transcription Mutations: Substitutions Normal gene GGTCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAGGAGUGCGGU Codons ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Amino acids Substitution mutation GGTCACCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGUGGAGUGCGGU ↓ Pro-Val-Glu-Cys-Gly Substitutions will only affect a single codon Their effects may not be serious unless they affect an amino acid that is essential for the structure and function of the finished protein molecule (e.g. sickle cell anaemia) © 2016 Paul Billiet ODWS The genetic code is degenerate A mutation may have no effect on the phenotype Changes in the third base of a codon often have no effect. No change Normal gene GGTCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAGGAGUGCGGU Codons ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Amino acids Substitution mutation GGTCTTCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAAGAGUGCGGU ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Disaster Normal gene GGTCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAGGAGUGCGGU Codons ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Amino acids Substitution mutation GGTCTCCTCACTCCA ↓ CCAGAAGAGUGAGGU ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-STOP Mutations: Inversion Inversion mutations, also, only affect a small part of the gene Normal gene GGTCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAGGAGUGCGGU Codons ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Amino acids Inversion mutation GGTCCTCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGGAGAGUGCGGU ↓ Pro-Gly-Glu-Cys-Gly Mutations: Additions A frame shift mutation Normal gene GGTCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCAGAGGAGUGCGGU Codons ↓ Pro-Glu-Glu-Cys-Gly Amino acids Addition mutation GGTGCTCCTCACGCCA ↓ CCACGAGGAGUGCGGU ↓ Pro-Arg-Gly-Val-Arg Mutations: Deletions ............................................................CONTINUED................................................................................................
