Q

Describe initiation ( transcription)

A

Sigma factor of holoenzyme binds promoter to dna
Promoter unwinds one helical turn
RNA polymerase binds
Open complex form of RNA polymerase begins transcription

Q

Describe elongation ( transcription)

A

RNA chin is extended by sequential addition of ribonucleotides from nucleoside triphosphate
Sigma dissociates after 9 bases
Original RNA polymerase continues along template
Unwinding makes 17 bp bubble
Positive supercoils upstream are removed by DNA topoisomerase

15
Q

Rifamycin

A

Selectively binds to bacterial RNA pol and blocks RNA from leaving RNA polymerase, inhibits transcription initiation

16
Q

Actomycin

A

Intercalated between GC base pairs and mimics and DNA base
Inhibits transcription elongation
Not selective for proks

17
Q

tmRNA

A

Free ribosome stuck on damaged mRNA and has properties of tRNA and mRNA

18
Q

Catalytic RNA

A

Associate with some protein to provide catalytic activity

19
Q

Nick name for third base

A

The wobble base

20
Q

Bacteria ribosome subunits

A

60 and 40 to make 80

21
Q

Three binding sites on ribosome and describe

A

A-acceptor site, binds incoming aminoacyl tRNA
P-peptidyl tRNA site, harbors tRNA with the growin polypeptide chain
E-exit site, binds a tRNA recently stripped of proteins

22
Q

Peptidyl transferase and shine-dalgarno

A

Peptidyl transferase enzyme activity forms peptide binds between amino acids
Shine dalgarno sequence binds to rRNA and positions the start codon in the p site

23
Q

Examples of antibiotics

A

Streptomycin, tetracycline, erythromycin

24
Q

What antibiotics present translocation

A

Erythromycin, fusidic acid

25
Q

What removes N-formylmethione?

A

Methionyl aminopeptidase

26
Q

Degron

A 
Dragon
They degraded(aka destroy)'proteins
27
Q

Proteases

A

Destroy proteins

28
Q

Srp

A

Signal recognition particle

Helps proteins get inserted in the membrane

29
Q

SecYEG translocon

A

Moves unfolded proteins to where chaperones will take over

30
Q

Twin Argonne translocase

A

Moves folded proteins across inner membrane

31
Q

Type 1 protein secretion

A

Moves certain proteins directly from the cytoplasm to extra cellular matrix

32
Q

Which is harder to sequence, euks or proks?

A

Euks due to introns and exon

33
Q

Orthologous

A

Identical function, different organisms

34
Q

Paralogous

A

Slightly different functions in cell
