Polymerases Flashcards
Type 1 restriction enzymes
Nuclease and methylase activity
Type 2 restriction enzymes
Palindromic
Sticky or blunt ends
Type 3 RE
Asymmetrical sites
Cut 24-26 bp away
Type 4 RE
Asymmetrical
Cuts 10 bp away
RNA Pol I
Synthesize rRNA
Translation
RNA Pol II
Synthesizes mRNA
gene transcription
RNA Pol III
Synthesizes tRNA and snRNA
Protein translation
Pol I
Prokaryotic
Lagging strand
Proofreading
Exonuclease activity
DNA polymerase alpha
Eukaryotic
Lagging strand
Primase polymerase complex
Role in Okazaki fragments
20 to 30 nucleotides synthesis
DNA Polymerase Beta
Eukaryotic
Repair mechanisms
Few nucleotide additions
Hand structure
Replication restart at nicks and lesions
DNA Polymerase Delta
Primary polymerase in eukaryotes
Leading strand
Proofreading
High processivity
