13-15 Flashcards
exo 1
proofreading
1= 3’>5’
exo 2
error repair, Okazaki fragment processing
2=5’>3’
DNA pol 1
error repair, Okazaki fragment processing
polymerase, exo 1/2 activity
DNA pol 3
replication
polymerase, exo 1
gyrase
relaxes supercoiling
type of topisomerase
part of rep elongation phase
topo IV
sep interlinked/concatenated daughter chromosomes when rep is done
part of rep termination phase
fluoroquinolone
inhibits gyrase and topo IV so it inhibits both gram pos/neg bacteria
plasmids characteristics
small, circ, extrachromosomal, double stranded, replicate autonomously
number of plasmids per cell determined by
the ““strength” of the rep origin
telomerase mech
is a reverse transcriptase, carries own RNA template
main eukary DNA pol involved in DNA rep
pol delta, epsilon
DNA pol involved in repair pathways
pol beta
DNA pol found in mitochondria/chloroplasts
pol gamma
RNA core enzyme + sigma subunit
RNA holoenzyme
RNA rep does not need
primer, can initiate transcription de novo
frequency of RNA rate of initiation depends on
strength of promoter
region containing RNAP core enzyme, DNA, and nascent RNA
transcription bubble
part of transcription elongation
RNAP more prone to error bc
it lacks nuclease activity, no editing fnc
transcription termination
end of gene contains stop signals, lies in newly syn RNA strand (not DNA template)
prokary transcription initiation reg by
sigma factors
sigma 70
housekeeping, transcribes most genes in growing cells
70 yo maid
sigma 38
starvation/stationary phase
sigma 32
heat shock sigma factor
sigma 24
extracytoplasmic stress sigma factor
24 yo are stressed
