MBM Flashcards
Rho-independent vs rho-dependent RNA termination mechanism in Prokaryotes
Ind: hairpin loop and polyA sequence with a string of uracil
Dep: Rho Helicase binds to rut site with ATP
Pol α:
Tight complex with Primase
Function of PERK in Eu Translation?
Phosphorylates eIF2-GDP to eIF2-GTP, in order to inhibit eIF2B. (2B promotes translation)
3 mRNA Mods
5’ cap, splicing, 3’ poly-A-tail
Tetracyclin
Blocks pro A site
How to remember which letters are found in the basal transcription machinery?
Letters A-H, except there’s NO C
The C-Terminal end of Polymerase must be (phos or dephos) to recruit termination factors?
Dephosphorylated
Base Excision Repair 3 Steps (Mainly to fix mutations caused by environmental factors)
- DNA Glycosylase cleaves sugar link
- AP endonuclease cuts phosphodiester
- Pol 1 And Ligase f
Streptomycin
Alters 30S only Pro
What two things can bind when TF-IIH phosphorylates the C-terminus of RNA POL II?
Cap Synthesizing complex (CSC) and cap binding complex (CBC) can link onto it and hook onto the growing mRNA
Three steps in Eukaryotic Translation Initiation
- eIF4F bind cap and 40S
- eIF2 links Met
- Complex slides down with helicase towards AUG site
Three steps in Eukaryotic DNA initiation?
- ORC is activated by Cdt1 and Cdc16/18
- MCM helicase is recruited
- After replication is done; Cdt1 is inhibited by geminin and Cdc6/18 is degraded.
Four steps for protein Elongation
- aaTRNA binds A site with EF-TU-GTP
- GTP regenerated with TS
- Large subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation
- EF-G or eEF2 binds to A site and slides to next unit
Three steps in Prokaryotic DNA initiation?
- dnaA protein binds to region in origin
- dnaB helicase unwinds
- Primase is recruited
Erythromycin
Blocks Pro A site
Pro vs Eu Small rRNA identity and function
Pro-16S,
Eu-18S, They both line up the mRNA
Two methods of Self Splicing mRNA?
- Guano-Nucleotide facilitates attack
2. Adenosine Branch point links OH, forms loop
