Heterochromatin
methylation vs acetylation
Increased methylation
Decreased acetylation
DNA methylation
Template strand cytosine and adenine are methylated in DNA replication which allows mismatch repair enzymes to distinguish between old and new strands in prokaryotes
What relaxes DNA coiling allowing for transcription
Histone acetylation
Deamination of cytosine makes
Deamination of adenine makes
Methylation of uracil makes
Deamination of cytosine makes Uracil
Deamination of adenine makes Guanine
Methylation of uracil makes thyamine
Amino acids necessary for purine synthesis
GAG
Glycine
Aspartate
Glutamine
Inhibit dihydrofolate reductase
in what pathway
Methotrexate (MTX)
Trimethoprim (TMP)
Pyrimethamine
Pyrimidine synthesis
Thymidylate synthase inhibited by
what pathway
5-fluorouracil
pyrimidine synthesis
Inhibits purine synthesis pathway
6- mercaptopurine ‘
- azathioprine is prodrug
- inhibits PRPP aminotransferase
Mycophenolate
Ribavirin
- inhibit inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase
Inhibits ribonucleotide reductase
Hydroxyurea
Allopurinol MOA
Other drug with same MOA
inhibits xanthine oxidase
Febuxostat
One of the major causes of SCID
AR
adenosine deaminase deficiency cant degrade deoxyadenosine ( dATP)
Self mutilation
Intellectual disability
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
- X linked
Defective purine salvage
HGPRT absent
HGPRT
- Hyperuricemia
- Gout
- Pissed off
- Retardation
- Dystonia
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome see an increase in
Phosphoribosyl pyrophospahte amidotransferase (PRPP aminotransferase)
What two amino acids are coded for by only 1 codon
methionine (AUG)
Tryptophan (UGG)
Inhibits eukaryotic topoisomerase I
Irinotecan
Topotecan
Inhibits eukaryotic topoisomerase II
Etoposide
teniposide
Fluroquinolones
Inhibit prokaryotic topoisomerase II and topoisomerase IV
Topoisomerase II aka as
Topoisomerase II= DNA gyrase
Fluroquinolones
Telomerase
- prokaryotes or eukaryote
- MOA
- pattern
Eukaryotes only
RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that adds DNA to 3’ ends of chromosome to avoid loss of genetic material with every duplication
TTAGGG repeat
Transition vs transversion in mutations
Transition
- purine to purine
- pyrimidine to pyriminde
Transversion
- purine to pyrimidine or reverse
Example of missense mutation disease
Sickle cell disease
Glutamic acid –> valine
Stop codons
UAG
UAA
UGA
Examples of frameshift mutation disease
Duchene muscular dystrophy
Tay-Sachs
Splice site mutation
Mutation at a splice site –> retained intron in mRNA –> protein impaired or altered function
Dementia
Epilepsy
Some types of beta thalassemia
Lac operon
- low glucose does what
increases activity of adenylate cyclase –> cAMP from ATP and activation of CAP
