13-15 Flashcards
exo 1
proofreading
1= 3’>5’
exo 2
error repair, Okazaki fragment processing
2=5’>3’
DNA pol 1
error repair, Okazaki fragment processing
polymerase, exo 1/2 activity
DNA pol 3
replication
polymerase, exo 1
gyrase
relaxes supercoiling
type of topisomerase
part of rep elongation phase
topo IV
sep interlinked/concatenated daughter chromosomes when rep is done
part of rep termination phase
fluoroquinolone
inhibits gyrase and topo IV so it inhibits both gram pos/neg bacteria
plasmids characteristics
small, circ, extrachromosomal, double stranded, replicate autonomously
number of plasmids per cell determined by
the ““strength” of the rep origin
telomerase mech
is a reverse transcriptase, carries own RNA template
main eukary DNA pol involved in DNA rep
pol delta, epsilon
DNA pol involved in repair pathways
pol beta
DNA pol found in mitochondria/chloroplasts
pol gamma
RNA core enzyme + sigma subunit
RNA holoenzyme
RNA rep does not need
primer, can initiate transcription de novo
frequency of RNA rate of initiation depends on
strength of promoter
region containing RNAP core enzyme, DNA, and nascent RNA
transcription bubble
part of transcription elongation
RNAP more prone to error bc
it lacks nuclease activity, no editing fnc
transcription termination
end of gene contains stop signals, lies in newly syn RNA strand (not DNA template)
prokary transcription initiation reg by
sigma factors
sigma 70
housekeeping, transcribes most genes in growing cells
70 yo maid
sigma 38
starvation/stationary phase
sigma 32
heat shock sigma factor
sigma 24
extracytoplasmic stress sigma factor
24 yo are stressed
eg of neg transcriptional reg
lac operon
eg of pos transcriptional
catabolite repression
single-nucelotide polymorphism
point mutation>disease
animoacyl (A) site
accommodates the incoming aminoacyl-tRNA
peptidyl (P) site
accommodates the peptidyl–tRNA (nascent polypeptide)
exit (E) site
accommodates a deacylated tRNA that is about to exit the ribosome
ribosome subunits
50S and 30S
polycistronic genes
if single mRNA strand has 3 Shine-Delgarno seq>3 proteins translated
prokary initiation complex
small ribosome subunit, mRNA, fMet-tRNA, initiation factors (IFs)
step req to assemble functional ribosome
GTP hydrolysis by IF2
activated tRNA delivered to A site by
elongation factor EF-Tu:
- if tRNA codon prop matched w/ Asite codon> EF-Tu hydrolyzes bound GTP, dissociates from ribosome
- if improp paired> EF-Tu•GTP and aa-tRNA dissociate from ribosome
50S activity
peptidyltransferase activity, catalyzes transpeptidation rxn
transpeptidation rxn catalyzed by
23S rRNA, a ribozyme (RNA w/catalytic activity)
translocation to P site powered by
GTP hydrolysis
stop codons recognized by
release factors
disassembly of ribosome complex costs
1 GTP
