transcription Flashcards
1
Q
nucleolus=
A
- has rna
- dense
- site of rrna synth
- resistant to a amanitin
- pol a found here
2
Q
nucleoplasm
A
- poly b found here
- mrna function
- sensitive to a amanitin
3
Q
pol c
A
found in nucleoplasm
- sensitive to a amanitin
- does tnra
4
Q
a amanitin
A
- mushroom
- poly a is not inhibited so can make rrna
- if low dose then poly c is also made but no b
5
Q
rrna
A
- most abundant form
- prokarya has 2-10 copies
- 100 + in eukarya
- prokarya trim this
6
Q
trna
A
less copies
- once made, can be creaves with rnase, methylation or OH in prokary
- euk: only diff is that it is processed in nucleus
7
Q
mrna
A
- one copy per chromosome
- usually degraded by rnase
- if MRNA: then poly a tail added, 5’ gtp cap
- many proteins prevent it from degradation with “loops” of dna
8
Q
primary transcript of ANY rna is called
A
heterogenous nucleopolasmic rna
- found in nuc
- hnRNA
- can give rise to lots of rnas
9
Q
introns
A
- cut out loops of dna not in mrna BUT present in hnRNA
- spliceosome: cut by small nuclear rna
10
Q
genetic code
A
1) degenerate: more than one codon for AA
2) unambiguous: AA has specific codon
3) universal
11
Q
trna and aminoacyl
A
trna + AA –> aminoacyl + Rna
- enzyme is aminoacyl tnra synthetase, specific to each aa
12
Q
trna structure for transcription
A
- all end with adenine 3’
- regions with double strand and anticodon
13
Q
amino acylation reaction
A
enzyme + AA + ATP –> complex
complex + Trna –> AA-trna + amp + enzyme
14
Q
wobble hypothesis
A
- trna have inosine in 5’ position
- inosine can bond to u, a or c so it can read three codons
- this adds to degeneracy
15
Q
prokaryotic ribosome
A
- 70 s
- split to 50 + 30
50: made of 5s + 23s + 34 proteins
30 s; made of 16s and 21 proteins
