    Keratin Protein 1

    Uploaded by

    Keratin is a tough, fibrous protein that is the main component of hair, nails, horns, and the outer layer of skin. The document outlines the process of protein synthesis from DNA to mRNA to protein. DNA is transcribed to mRNA in the nucleus, then mRNA is translated to a polypeptide chain on ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The polypeptide chain folds into the final keratin protein structure.

    Keratin

    By: Lydia Maxon, Hannah Persky, Addie Seymour, Nathan


    Luis, and Andrew Rice

    What Is Keratin?
    Tough, fibrous protein found in skin
    Hair mainly comprised of keratin-associated proteins
    structural protein of hair, nails, horn, hoofs, wool, feathers, and
    of the epithelial cells in the outermost layers of the skin

    Protein

    Transcription - 1st Step


    1. RNA polymerase splits DNA in half
    2. pre-RNA attaches to one half of DNA
    3. DNA encodes pre-RNA with necessary info.
    4. pre-RNA becomes mRNA
    5. mRNA detaches from DNA half and moves out of nucleus
    and into cytoplasm

    Transcription

    Nucleus

    mRNA

    Cytoplasm

    Translation - 2nd Step


    1. mRNA moves out of nucleus and into the cytoplasm.
    2. mRNA attaches to a ribosome.
    3. tRNA brings an amino acid
    4. tRNA links to mRNA.
    5. tRNA brings in another amino acid according to mRNA
    codon.
    6. The amino acids combine.

    Translation Continued
    1. The first tRNA moves into the cytoplasm to collect another amino acid
    2. The ribosome moves along the mRNA, which exposes the next codon
    3. tRNA brings in another amino acid and extends the protein chain
    4. The process continues as the ribosome moves along mRNA exposing
    the next codon
    5. Continues until all the needed amino acids are present
    6. Finally the ribosome and mRNA separates
    7. A polypeptide chain has been formed

    Translation

    Folding
    After translation, there is a polypeptide chain
    Polypeptide chain is not a protein
    Folds up to 4 times, then is considered a protein
    Needs to fold in order to perform its biological function
