Infection, Blending and Centrifigutation

35S (protein)=> in detached bacteriophage (parent) but not in progeny bacteriophage (kid)
32P (DNA)=> found in detached bacteriophage(parent) AND found in progeny bacteriophage (kid)

Q

Beadle and Tatum

A

Q

Structure and fxn of gene

A

-promoter (DNA+TATA box-specify were transcription begin) at 5’ end/upstream of nontemplate/coding strand
-promoter is recognized and bound by transcriptional machinery (RNA poly and transcription factors)… initiate transcription
-transcriptional unit is part of gene copied into RNA

Q

Type of RNA poly

A
  1. RNA pol I: rRNA
  2. RNA pol II: mRNA
  3. RNA pol III: tRNA
17
Q

DNA transcription

A
  1. Initiation/RDS… general transcription factor bind to promoter and RNA poly II= low level transcription OR transcriptional activator protein bind to enhancer so DNA loop and RNA poly to promoter=high level transcription
    2.Elongation:RNA poly read 3-5, synthesize 5-3
  2. Termination: 1. Rho indpdnt (prokaryote)- terminator in mRNA does hairpin (G-C self pairing)= RNA poly detach 2. Rho dependent (prok.)-terminator bound by RHO helicase=unwind mRNA from template DNA and RNA poly 3. Cleavage and polyadenylation specific factor (eukaryotes): poly AAAAA= cleave completed mRNA and RNA poly separates

Not everywhere at specific region
No primer

18
Q

DNA translation (eukaryotes)

A
  1. .tRNA met-> P site…+ small/large (P (middle) to A (front) to E (end)) ribo subunit… ribo+mRNA+met tRNA= initiation complex… and it moves 5->3 till AUG start codon… anticodon (tRNA) from mRNA (codon)
  2. Elongation… a)aminoacyl tRNA added to A site by elongation factor GTP b)peptidyl tranferase from large rib makes peptide bond between carboxyl and amino c) ribosome translocates (tRNA from A->P, and uncharged tRNA from P->E)
  3. Termination… stop codon at end of protein coding sequence and recognized by release factor proteins… release factor bind to A site= peptidyl transferase detach polypeptide fromP-site tRNA
19
Q

Aminoacyl tRNA (charging)

A

Add a.a. To tRNA

20
Q

How do siRNA and miRNA regulate gene expression

A

21-23 nucleotides dsRNA repress gene expression by ,RMA deg ration or inhibition of translational initiation

21
Q

Epigentics and mechanism in gene regulation

A

Transcriptional gene regulation by Posttranslational mod of histones and not changes in nucleotide sequence

Acetylation increase gene transcription. How? Loosen DNA
Methylation decrease transcription. How? Tighten DNA

(Chromatin remodeling)

22
Q

Transcriptional gene reg

A

(.mRNA synthesis)
Initiation, elongation,termination,transcription factors,promoter,enhancer

23
Q

Post transcription gene regulation

A

(.mRNA processing)
5’ capping
3’-polyadenylation
Splicing
.mRNA degradation (exoribonuclease and siRNA)

24
Q

Translation gene reg

A

(Protein synthesis)
Initiation, elongation, termination, microRNA

25
Q

Post translation gene reg

A

(Protein process)
Posttranslational mod:
1. Phosphorylation (add phosphate to protein by kinase=activate or inhibit activity)
2.Acetylation (looser so increase gene transcription)
3. Methylation (tighter so repress gene transcription)
4. Ubiquitination(add ubiquitin to protein=target to destruction)
5. Protein degradation (Proteolysis… cleave protein to induce activity… kill host cell=> power up virus)

26
Q

Types of mutation

A
  1. Spontaneous:Lower rate by DNA rep error and base error
  2. InducedL chemical and environmental=damage nucleotide and base mispairing like UV damage
    3.germlineL mutation in sex cell= heritable
    4.somatic…in all other= not heritable
27
Q

How is eukaryotic cell cycle regulated by CDK and cyclin

A

CDK and cycle increase cycle progression (like enzyme)… checkpoint delay cell cycle

  1. DNA damage checkpoint (G1->S)
  2. DNA replication checkpoint (G2/M)
  3. Mitotic spindle checkpoint (M)
  4. G1 (growth)
    C1
  5. S phase (synthesis)
  6. G2 (growth)
    C2
    4.M (mitosis-nuclear division)
    M
  7. Cytokinesis (cell division)

**G0 is not in the cycle its like a garbage ready for use but on a need to use basis

28
Q

Oncogene VS tumor suppressor gene

A

Oncogene: GOF allele of pos. Regulator in cell cycle so enhance cyclin

Tumor suppressor gene: LOF allele of neg. Regulator in cell cycle so enhance checkpoint

29
Q

Mitosis VS Meiosis

A

Mitosis:
-daughter like parent… centromere split in anaphase (somatic cell)

Meiosis:
-parent halved in haploid daughter cell (germline cell)
-homologous chromosome and crossing in prophase I
-centromere NO split in anaphase I
-no DNA rep, between Meiosis 1 and 2
-daughter not like parent cause recombination

30
Q

Binary fission

A

-like mitosis (daughter same as parent)
-replication begin at origin
-prokaryotes/bacteria
