A. The teacher will ask the learners about their previous lesson on DNA
transcription through a game entitled: Stop the Car!
Procedure:
This is a game that should be played by a group. Each group will be
given 5 seconds to give an answer. If the group cannot give an answer,
they will be asked a question regarding their previous lessons.
Note: Only one member of the group will answer as a representative.
A printed car will be given to each group, circling while
playing to give the opportunity to each member to play the game.

The protein
building
block is the amino acid. Amino acids combine through a dehydration link called a peptide
bond. When several groups of amino acids are joined together, a protein macromolecule is
formed. This is why proteins are considered as polymers of amino acids. Proteins are
typically made of a chain of 20 amino acids. The human body makes any protein it needs
by using a combination of these 20 amino acids. Most amino acids have a structural
template where an alpha carbon is bonded to the following forms:
Enclosure 1A to DepEd Order No. _____, s. 2016
*A hydrogen atom (H)
*A carboxyl group (-COOH)
*An amino group (-NH2)
*A “variable” group
The “variable” group is most responsible for difference as all of them have hydrogen,
carboxyl group, and amino group bonds. Amino acids are linked through dehydration
synthesis peptide bonds are formed. Amino acids linked together by polypeptide bonds
forms a polypeptide chain. When polypeptide chains are twisted, a 3-D shape forms a
protein.
These amino acids are grouped as: essential and non-essential. Non-essential amino acids
are those which the human body is capable of synthesizing, whereas essential amino acids
must be obtained from the diet.

Since the proteins formed by amino acids are incredibly huge and bulky molecules, it is
very time consuming and difficult to draw out their chemical structure in similar way we
Enclosure 1A to DepEd Order No. _____, s. 2016
draw smaller molecules. The common amino acids that make up proteins are given codes
that represent them as shown in the table above. This makes describing the molecules so
much easier.
Proteins are synthesized in the human body through a process called translation.
Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and involves converting genetic codes into proteins.
Genetic codes are assembled during DNA transcription, where DNA is decoded into RNA.
Cell structures called ribosomes then help transcribe RNA into polypeptide chains that
need to be modified to become functioning proteins.
The key
components
required for
translation are mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes, and aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. These four
structures are briefly explained below: (14)
*Ribosome
The ribosome is a complex organelle, present in the cytoplasm, which serves as the site of
action for protein synthesis. It provides the enzymes needed for peptide bond formation.
The nucleotide sequence in mRNA is recognized in triplets, called codons. The ribosome
moves along the single strand mRNA, and when a complimentary codon sequence
belonging to amino acid bearing tRNA bonds with the mRNA, the amino acid is added to
the chain.
The mRNA possesses a stop codon, a sequence of three nucleotides that indicates that
translation is complete. Upon reaching the stop codon, the ribosome ceases translation and
releases the mRNA and newly generated polypeptide.
*Messenger RNA (mRNA)
mRNA is used to convey information from DNA to the ribosome. It is a single strand
molecule, complimentary to the DNA template, and is generated through transcription.
Strands of mRNA are made up of codons, each of which signifies a particular amino acid
to be added to the polypeptide in a certain order. mRNA must interact with ribosomal
RNA (rRNA), the central component of ribosomal machinery that recognizes the start and
stop codons of mRNA, and transfer RNA (tRNA), which provides the amino acid once
bound with a complimentary mRNA codon.
*Transfer RNA (tRNA)
This is a single strand of RNA composed of approximately 80 ribonucleotides. Each tRNA
is read as a ribonucleotide triplet called an anticodon that is complementary to an mRNA
codon. tRNA carry a particular amino acid, which is added to the growing polypeptide
chain if complimentary codons bond.
*Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases
These are enzymes that link each amino acid to their corresponding tRNA with the help of
a two-step process. Each amino acid has a unique synthetase and the active site of each
enzyme fits only one specific combination of the amino acid and tRNA. (14)
There are three major steps in translation: initiation, elongation, and termination. These
steps are briefly discussed below: (14)
1. Initiation
After mRNA is formed in the nucleus, it leaves and moves to the cytoplasm where it finds
the ribosome. Small ribosomal subunits then bind to mRNA. The initiator tRNA which is
equipped with the anticodon (UAC) also binds to the start codon (AUG) of the mRNA.
Let us say we have the mRNA codon AUG-UGC-AAG-UCC-GGA-CAG, the tRNA
anticodon would be UAC-ACG-UUC-AGG-CCU-GUC. The resulting large complex
forms a complete ribosome and initiates protein synthesis. Each different tRNA is
covalently linked to a particular amino acid.
2. Elongation
Following initiation, a new tRNA-amino acid complex enters the codon next to the AUG
codon. If the anticodon of the new tRNA matches the mRNA codon, base pairing occurs
and the two amino acids are linked by the ribosome through a peptide bond.
If the anticodon does not match the codon, base pairing cannot happen and the tRNA is
rejected. Then, the ribosome moves one codon forward making space for a new tRNA-
amino acid complex to enter. This process is repeated several times until the entire
polypeptide has been translated.
3. Termination
As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, it encounters one of the three stop codons for
which there is no corresponding tRNA. Terminator proteins present at the stop codon bind
Enclosure 1A to DepEd Order No. _____, s. 2016
to the ribosome and trigger the release of the newly synthesized polypeptide chain. The
ribosome then disengages from the mRNA. On release from the mRNA, the small and
large subunits of the ribosome dissociate and prepare for the next round of translation. The
polypeptide chains produced during translation undergo some post-translational
modifications, such as folding, before becoming a fully active protein. (14)
Below is a chart of all the mRNA codons and the amino acids they code for. Decoding
codons is a task made simple because of the codon chart. Just start at the center of the chart
for the first letter. Move to the outside next ring for the second letter and finally, find the
final letter among the smallest set of letters in the third ring. Then you can read the amino
acid in that sector.
To decode the codon for CAC, find the first letter C in the set of bases at the center of the
circle. Then find the letter A in the second ring, then C in the third ring. There, you will
read the amino acid in this sector as Histidine. Some of these codons are special. AUG is
the start codon which initiates translation by coding for Methionine. And these three are
stop codons: UAA, UAG and UGA. These are the ones that terminate translation.
4. Evaluating Learning
EVALUATE (5 minutes)
Explicitly using SOLO ( from U-M)
Directions: Read the following paragraph and answer the following questions:
In biology, translation is the process in living cells in which proteins are produced
using RNA molecules as templates. The generated protein is a sequence of amino acids.
This sequence is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA. The nucleotides
are considered three at a time. Each such triple results in addition of one specific amino
acid to the protein being generated. The matching from nucleotide triple to amino acid is
called the genetic code. The translation is performed by a large complex of functional
Enclosure 1A to DepEd Order No. _____, s. 2016
RNA and proteins called ribosomes. The entire process is called gene expression.
Q1. Observe the diagram of an mRNA created during transcription. Name one amino acid
synthesized during translation.
Q2. As shown in the diagram above, an mRNA is already translated into amino
acids, name at least two amino acids that code for STOP codon.
