centeral dogma lec 2 Flashcards
the original DNA strands are split in two and each half
is used as a template to make the complementary strand.
features of ??
semi-conservative
DNA replication is initiated at many sites called origins of
ORI s
in what cell cycle the DNA replication occurrs ?
interphase
connects the Okazaki fragments together
DNA ligase
opens the DNA helix by breaking Hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases
Helicase
remove supercoils generated in front of the replication fork, remove the, stress caused by unwinding
Topoisomerase
DNA replication start at the site of origin in the replication fork showing: ?
Continuous synthesis of the leading strand.
2- Discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand with ligation of the Okazaki fragments.
Exonuclease activity removes RNA primer and replaces with newly synthesized DNA
DNA pol 1
repair function
DNA pol 2
main enzyme that add nucleotides in the 5’-3’
DNA pol3
sequence of DNA that specifies production of a functional product
gene
percentage
how many functional protein ?
1.5%
function of
non-coding RNAs, miRNA, tRNA, rRNA
regulate gene expersision
genes do not code for protein
(Pseudogenes)
The reminder of human genome is made up of repetitive DNA sequence
junk DNA
genes consists of :
exons
introns
promoter region
coding sequence of genes
exons
non coding sequence of genes
introns
location of promoter ?
near the beginning of a gene
(upstream of the gene toward the 5’ end)
how long is promoter region ?
100-1000bp
how important is the promoter region
initiation of transcription.
The 3′ untranslated region (3’UTR)
contains a signal for the addition of a
sequence of adenosine residues
to the end of mRNA
polyA tail
process when a gene is used to synthesized RNA and protein
gene expression
what are the Genes are transcribed in all cells of the body.?
housekeeping genes
