Q

what is the 30S?

A

smaller subunit that binds to mRNA

17
Q

what is the 50S?

A

larger subunit that catalyzes the sites

18
Q

what do polysomes mean?

A

multiple ribosomes produced for 1 mRNA

19
Q

are chaperones actively used during translation?

20
Q

what 4 things do chaperones help with?

A
  1. energy dependent process
  2. folding & refolding
  3. add co-factors
  4. help secretion
21
Q

how is enzymatic activity changed?

A

post translational modifcation

22
Q

what is sequestration?

A

the binding partner

23
Q

what does the translocase do?

A

translocate protein from cytoplasm to outside (gram pos) or periplasm (gram neg)

24
Q

what does the SEC system do?

A

transports non-folded protein & export it outside cell

25
Q

what does the TAT system do?

A

transports folded proteins across membrane

26
Q

how long is the signal sequence?

A

15-20 amino acids

27
Q

what happens if there is no signal sequence?

A

there would be no movement

28
Q

what transporter does Type I use?

A

ABC transporter

29
Q

what transporter does Type II use?

A

SEC & TAT systems

30
Q

what transporters does Type V use?

A

autotransporter & SEC/TAT

31
Q

what does Type III do?

A

inject proteins into eukaryotic cells

32
Q

what does Type IV do?

A

transfer DNA

33
Q

what does Type VI do?

A

bacteria kills other bacteria
