Q

What is the name of the Eukaryotic degradation machinery?
What’s it’s structure?

What allows selective access into this structure?

A

Proteasome
Hollow tube

Caps!

22
Q

Name 2 types of protein synthesised INTO the ER

A

Secretory and transmembranous

23
Q

STEP 1 OF TRANSLOCATION OF SECRETORY PROTEIN INTO ER:

The… binds to the… and…

A

Signal recognition particle

Signal peptide

Pauses translation

24
Q

STEP 2 OF TRANSLOCATION OF SECRETORY PROTEIN INTO ER:

The… attached to the protein being synthesised interacts with the… and brings the ribosome to the… in the ER membrane.

A

SRP
Signal recognition receptor
Protein translocator

25
Q

STEP 3 OF TRANSLOCATION OF SECRETORY PROTEIN INTO ER:

… blocking the… is displaced allowing translation to proceed into the….
The SRP and SRP Receptor are…

A

PLUG
Protein translocator
ER lumen
Recycled!

26
Q

Co- translational translocation into the ER lumen requires NO MORE energy than translation in cytoplasm?
True or false?

A

TRUE

27
Q

The enzyme that removes signal peptide from soluble secretory protein is…

Why is this necessary?

A

Signal Peptidase

The hydrophobic signal peptide is RETAINED within the membrane!

28
Q

Where does the majority of NEW membrane synthesis occur?

A

The endoplasmic reticulum

29
Q

Where are the enzymes that synthesise testosterone mainly found?

A

The SMOOTH ER

30
Q

Name 2 cell types where the SMOOTH ER is present

A

Muscle

Testes

31
Q

Muscle Cells: Sarcoplasmic Reticulum stores… which is released when AP from a nerve… the plasma membrane.
Rise in levels of… in the… tells the muscle to…
Once membrane potential restored and the channel CLOSED, abundant… in the membrane rapidly return these ions to the SR!

A 
Calcium 
Depolarises 
Calcium IONS
Cytoplasm
Contract!
PUMPS
32
Q

What structures + functions do we have to protect our DNA?

A

Condensation of chromatin
Nuclear envelope with nuclear pores
Requirement of nuclear localisation signal to enter nucleus
Telomeres!

33
Q

Difference between rRNA and mRNA?

A

rRNA = ribosomal RNA / mRNA = messenger RNA

rRNA used to create ribosomes!

mRNA used in translation by ribosome as the instructions for which AA come a next!

34
Q

Relevance of nucleolar organiser?

A

LOTS of RNA polymerase is in 1 place!

And multiple copies of rRNA genes are brought together

35
Q

Why do we need multiple copies of genes that generate rRNA?

A

We need LOTS of rRNAs!!!

36
Q

What is meant by RNA processing?

What is the point of this?

A

1 original RNA template from 1 gene is chopped up into 3 rRNAs

Polymerase doesn’t need to find 3 promoters - does it all in one go!
Enables many more polymerase to be on SAME gene = more efficient!

37
Q

What are the 3 steps of translation?

A

Codon recognition, peptide bond formation and the release of empty tRNA!

38
Q

Why are the ribosomes really ribozymes?

A

Because the H+ group temporarily forms a complex in the 28S rRNA enabling the peptide bond formation to occur more RAPIDLY than it would otherwise!

39
Q

What has to happen for translation to be initiated?

What causes translation to end?

A

Small subunit scans mRNA for AUG codon and binds to tRNA-met then recruits the large subunit!

Release factor binding to A site!

40
Q

What factors control protein concentration within the cell?

A

Rate of translation

Rate of degradation by the proteasome

41
Q

How does the proteasome recognise its ‘victims’?

A

Addition of multiple Ubiquitin molecules but E2/E3 Ubiquitin ligases!

42
Q

What tag is added to proteins destined to be degraded in the proteasome?

A

Ubiquitin

43
Q

What catalyses peptide bond formation in the eukaryotic ribosome?

A

28S rRNA

44
Q

A peptide bond…

A

Joins 2 amino acids together in a protein!

45
Q

Which of the following types of proteins are synthesised DIRECTLY into the endoplasmic reticulum?

A

Secretory

46
Q

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is composed of a … surrounding the space called the …
It is continuous with the …

A

Phospholipid bilayer
Lumen
Outer nuclear membrane

47
Q

During Translation , what is the name given to the step where the 3 bases in mRNA pair with the 3 complementary bases in the appropriate tRNA?

A

Codon recognition / Base pairing

48
Q

When the amino acid is transferred from the tRNA to the Growing Chain, what reaction takes place?

A

Peptide bond formation!

49
Q

The … cells of the testes synthesise… which is a …

This group of signalling molecules are synthesised from… which is made and modified by enzymes housed on the expanded …

A 
Leydig
Testosterone 
Steroid hormone 
Cholesterol 
Smooth ER
50
Q

Which subunit of the ribosome contains the Catalytic Site?

A

Large - 60S
