alpha importin binds to (NLS Protein) beta importin binds to Ran-GDP

24
Q

What is a nuclear exportin?

A

Crm1

25
Q

Identify from left to right

A

dense fibrillar component

Granular component

fibrillar center

26
Q

Nucleostemin

Fibrillarin

Nucleolin

are found in…

A

Nucleolus

27
Q

Nuclelous is the site of..

A

sytnethesis of rRNA

site of assembly of ribosomal subunits

28
Q

Nucleolus is the product of

A

chromosome and the nucleolar organizing region (NOR)

29
Q

The nucleolus has three main compartments

A

Fibrillar Center

Dense fibrillar Components

Granular Component

30
Q

Fibrillar Center

A

RNA Pol I

signal regonition particle

chromatin with repeats of rRNA

31
Q

Dense Fibrillar Center

A

Fibrillarin

Nucleolin

ribonucleic prtoeins for rna modification

where nascent rRNA is present and undergoing processing (pre-RNA processing)

surrounds fibrillar centers

32
Q

Granular Component

A

Nucleostemin

site of assembly of pre ribosomal subjunits (18S (small) 28S (large))

75% of nuclear mass

33
Q

Nucleolus

A

diassociates during mitotis (mitotic prophase)

reappears at beginning of G1

more than one per nucleus sometimes

34
Q

Nucleolin

A

forms a coples with RPA which is required for intiation of DNA Synthesis

35
Q

Fibrillarin & Nucleolin

A

required for pre-RNA processing (dense fibrillar component)

36
Q

Nucleolin & Nucleostemin

A

AKA shuttling proteins (relocalize from nucleolus to nucleoplasm)

in resp to cell stree tnry into S phase (DNA synthesis) can be blocked by shuttling proteins

shuttling proteins bidning and inactivate p53 ( protector of DNA damage)

37
Q

Nucleostemin

A

unrelated to ribosomal biogensis

granular componenet

38
Q

rRNA synthesis occurs in what direction

A

5’ to 3’

39
Q

rRNA genes are seen

A

as repeating units on chromatin separated by nontranscribed spacers

the entire rRNA gene is covered by 100 RNA Pol I molecules

40
Q

RNA pol I makes

A

fibrils that represent rRNA Precursor (45S)

41
Q

45S

A

rRNA precursor

orientated perpendicular to the chromatin axis

detached from chromatin axis and cleaves into

28S 18S 5.8S rRNAS

42

What is the large ribosomal subunit?

What precursors create the large ribosomal subunit?

A

60S

28S+5.8S+ 5S( from OUTSIDE of nucleolus)+ 45 proteins

43
Q

What is the small ribosomal subunit?

what creates the small ribosomal subunit?
