Transcription and Translation Flashcards
rRNA
makes up ribosome EP
mRNA
involved in transcription EP
tRNA
carries anticodon and amino acids EP
snRNA
processes pre-mRNA E
snoRNA
processing and assembling rRNA E
miRNA
inhibits translation of mRNA E
siRNA
sets off degradation of RNA molecules E
piRNA
suppress transcription of transposable elements in reproductive cells E
CRISPR RNA (crRNA)
destruction of foreign DNA P
lncRNA
regulates epigenetic function E
what confirmed DNA is main template of transcription
electron microscopy
ribonucleoside triphosphate (rNTP)
building block of RNA
RNA+RNTP=RNA+PPi
Bacterial RNAP
two alpha
one beta
one beta prime
one omega
sigma factor
controls where promoter binds EP
holoenzyme
RNA pol with sigma factor
RNAP 1
transcribes large rRNA E
RNAP 2
premRNA, snRNA, snoRNA and miRNA E
RNAP 3
tRNA, siRNA, snRNA, miRNA E
RNAP 4
in plants, siRNA
RNAP 5
in plants, heterochromatin formation
Bacterial transcription (initiation)
-10 TATAAT and -35 TTGACA
RNAP and sigma factor recognizes sequences
Bacterial transcription (elongation)
RNAP unwinds DNA and adds ribonucleotides at 3’
RNAP breaks off and continues adding…
transcriptional pausing
come from secondary structures or presence of nucleosomes in E
who proof reads in transcription
RNAP
bacterial transcription (termination)
RHO dependent
RHO independent: hairpin structure
tRNA structure
ribothymine
pseudouridine
tRNA addition cite
CCA to the 3’
bacterial rRNA
70s (50s large, 30s small)
eukaryotic rRNA
80s (60s large, 40s small)
when is rRNA processed
after transcription
RNA interferences (RNAi)
kills foreign viruses and transposons
siRNA miRNA
help turn premRNA to mRNA
Beadle and Tatun
developed method for isolating auxotrophic mutants in neurospora
homopolymers
polymer made from many copies of a single repeating unit
poly (u)
directs incorporation of phenylalanine
