Q

name and describe two mutations in CFTR protein that cause CF

what are the drugs used to treat / how work?

A
  • mutant ΔF508 CFTR: no mature CFTR gets to the membrane. fails to get folded properly and gets degraded in ER. 85% cases
    drug: Lumacaftor (drug class = corrector) helps ΔF508 to fold, so more channel molecules reach plasma membrane = chemical chaperone. CFTR becomes more stablilised

mutant G551D CTFR: channel fails to open properly

drug: Ivacaftor: (drug class = potentiator) assists in opening of the channel by binding directly to channel.

Q

how do u tell difference between where superior and inferior mesenteric veins are located?

what do they go into?

A
  • superior mesenteric vein is located on right
  • inferior mesenteric vein is located on left

-into hepatic vein

22
Q
A

1: cephalic vein
2: basilic vein
3: median cubital vein

23
Q

what lies on either side of the third ventricle?

A

thalamus

24
Q

what produces CSF in the ventricles of brain?

A

the choroid plexus

25
Q

ID the key group of lymph nodes:

A
  1. axillary lymph nodes
  2. inguinal lymph nodes
  3. cervical lymph nodes
26
Q

what does 3rd ventricle communicate with 4th ventricle via?

A

cerebral aqueduct

27
Q

what is klinefelter syndrome caused by? symptoms?

A

Klinefelter syndrome: (47, XXY). Extra X chromosome. Infertile - no sperm produced. Poorly developed secondary sexual characteristics, tall. 1/1000 males

28
Q

how do the lateral ventricles communicate with the third ventricle?

A

via the intraventricular foramen

29
Q

edwards syndrome is a trisomy syndrome due to which chromsome?

patau syndrome is a trisomy syndrome due to which chromsome?

symptoms of each?

A

Edwards Syndrome - trisomy 18: multiple malformations (esp. heart). clenched hands with overlapping fingers)

Patau syndrome - trisomy 13: multiple malformations. Particularly: incomplete lobation of brain, cleft lip

In both: most babies die in first few weeks of life. if not - severe mental retardation

30
Q

describe Turner syndrome?

A

Turner syndrome -(45, X) Loss of X chr: 1/5000 females. 99% lost spon. in preg. short. abscence of menstruation (amenorrhea). congenital heart d: 20%. webbed neck

31
Q

on a chromosome - what are the differnces between the G-light band and G-dark band?

A
  • *G-light:** gene rich, GC-rich, early replicating
  • *G-dark:** gene poor, AT-rich, late replicating
32
Q

how can you see the X-inactive region of female somatic cell when a person has undergone X-inactivation?

A

female somatic cells that have X-inactivation have Barr Bodies. represents inactive chromsome in female somatic cell. this type of chromatin is called heterochromatin

33
Q

What is the SRY region on the Y chromosome?

A

SRY = Sex Determining Region of Y-chr.

SRY encodes for proteins that is a member of the HMG (high mobility group transcription factorrs) group -> which in turn are responsible for switching on genes that determine male sex determination

34
Q

what are the risk factors that are increased bc of Barker Hypothesis? what diseases do they lead to?

A
  • increased adipose tissue, increased lipid accumulation in muscles: type 2 diabetes
  • impaired glucose sensing: hyperinsulinemia (means the amount of insulin in your blood is higher than what’s considered normal. )
  • leptin resistance in brain (think always hungry): obesity
  • lipid accumulation in CV system: CVD
35
Q

role of H1 histone?

A

histone H1 keeps the keeps the DNA attached to the histones

36
Q

where does DNA methlyation occur? (epigenetics)

A
  • on cytosine: to form methyl-5-cytosine
  • specifically on: CPG islands of promoter regions; where cytosine is adjacent to guanine
37
Q

name enzymes that make histones a) accessible? b) inaccessible

where specifically on the histone does modication occur?

A

a) histone acetylase (HAT): opens DNA to make it accessible

b) Histone deactylase (HDAC) associated with closing DNA to make it inaccessible

/

modifcation: on lysine and serine

38
Q

which influencing mechanism of the epigenome is inherited?

A

DNA methylation

39
Q

what are the epigenetic mechanisms / regulators of epigenome

A
  1. DNA methylation-cytosines
  2. micro and small RNAs
  3. Histone modification - histones
  4. chromatin architecture
40
Q

how can you predict the prognosis of developed cancer from methylation?

A

hypermethylation is associated with inactivation of tumour suppression.

IN ADDITION TO THIS CANCER, IF YOU HAVE

- hypermethylation of ECM or growth factor proteins -> causes poorer prognosis

- hypomethylation of ECM or growth factor proteins -> improved prognosis

41
Q

Prader-Willi / Angelman syndrome

both produced by same genetic mutation. but phenotype is different depending if on male / female

Prader-Willi: (autosomal). deletion is on fathers copy of Chr. 15. region: 15q11-q13. excess weight gain. development delays

Angelman syndrome: deletion of maternal copy Chr. 15. happy demeanour, severe mental b

42
Q

A

RNA: start - AUG. (methionine) stop - UAA, UGA, UAG

DNA: start - ATG. stop - TAA, TGA, TAG

-

43

A

A,C,U

44
Q

what does aminoacyl RNA transfer synthase enzyme do?

A

adds correct amino acids onto the tRNA, via hydrolysis reaction

45
Q

how does chloramphenicol work as an antibiotic?

how does tetracycline work as an antibiotic?

A

chloramphenicol binds to 50S and inhibits the formation of peptide bond. bacteria dies

46
Q

which DNA stand is used as a template for transcription / which isnt? why?

what are the strands called?

A
  • only one of the 2 DNA strands is transcribed. only the 3’ - 5’ ->called the antisense or template strand. means we get correct 5’ - 3’ direction
  • the sense strand / non template stand has same sequence as the RNA -> also called the coding strand
47

where does transcription of DNA occur?

A

ATG on Exon 1 !!
