Q

a-amantin is the most deadly toxin found in poisonous mushrooms. Upon ingestion and uptake by liver cells, it binds to RNA Pol II and effectively causes cytolysis. Symptoms of a-amanitin poisoning typically occur within days and death follows around 1 week post-ingestion. What is the mechanism of its toxicity?

A

prevents mRNA production

Q

What is the major difference between Group 1 and Group 2 of RNS Pol II to facilitate promoter escape?

A

Group 1 involves nucleophilic attack from a 2’OH of a free GTP. Group 2 uses a 2’OH of a nucleotide contained within the intron

Q

You are analyzing eukaryotic cells that have been exposed to radioactive uracil. In most cells the radioactivity is initially localized in the nucleus, then moves to the cytoplasm. However, you observe that in some cells the radioactivity stays in the nucleus and never arrive in the cytoplasm. This is most likely a defect in what?

A

RNA processing

What is the function is U6 snRNA?

A

facilitates splicing of mRNA

Q

What is the function of TTF1?

A

functions in the termination of bacterial genes

24
Q

What is the function of P-TEFb?

A

phosphorylates Ser-2 of the CTD of RNA Pol II to facilitate productive transcription elongation
