Q

Where are the normal origins of replication (constitutive origins)?

A

Intergenic regions
G1, S

15
Q

What effect does expression of oncogenes have on origins?

A

Extra origin within a gene

16
Q

Transcription-replication conflicts

A

Encounters between DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase

17
Q

What can cause a replication fork to collapse?

A

Stalled transcription can lead to conflicts when a replication fork approaches

18
Q

How can R loops form?

A

If RNA helicase is functional while there are other transcription/splicing errors, unwound RNA can bind to complementary DNA and form R loops

19
Q

What is the effect of R loops

A

Inhibits transcription complex and gets stuck

20
Q

How does translocation occur?

A

Unrelated DNA breaks joined together

21
Q

What are some effects of oncogene expression?

A

Normal replication decreases

Truncated replication increases

New origins fire (cell can’t use its normal origins)

22
Q

Truncated replication

A

Replication stops early resulting in a partial sequence of the DNA fragment

23
Q

When does phosphorylation happen?

A

Post transcription

24
Q

When does ubiquitylation happen?

A

Post translation

25
Q

____________ add a phosphate group and ____________ remove a phosphate group.

A

Kinases
Phosphatases

26
Q

Describe how auto phosphorylation occurs

A

2 isoforms phosphorylate each other

27
Q

Proteosomes function

A

Degrades proteins into reusable amino acids
