25
euchromatin vs. heterochromatin
euchromatin is more open, rich with genes. heterochromatin is dense with little to no transcriptional activity
26
nucleolus vs. nucleus
nucleolus is within the nucleus and is specifically where activity of protein synthesis occurs. more prominent and densely concentrated rRNA.
27
steps of DNA replication
1. helicase unwinds the parental double helix 2. proteins (ex. topoisomerase) stabilize the unwound parental DNA 3. leading strand is synthesized continuously by DNA polymerase 4. lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously. RNA polymerase synthesizes a short RNA primer, which is then extended by DNA polymerase 5. DNA polymerase digests RNA primer and replaces it with DNA 6. DNA ligase joins the Okazaki fragments of the lagging strand
28
when does replication happen
during S phase of cell cycle
29
why does replication start at multiple points of origin
eukaryotes replicate much slower than prokaryotes to reduce possibility of mutations and because of the abundance of genes
30
accuracy of DNA replication is due to what 3 factors
1. proper nucleotide selection - ability of DNA polymerases to discriminate between correct and incorrect nucleotides 2. proofreading - the ability of polymerase-associated exonucleases to remove incorrect nucleotides from the DNA immediately after their incorporation (polymerase beta) 3. mismatch repair - DNA repair mechanism by which mismatched nucleotides in new strand are removed. occurs predominantly in S phase. defects in MMR are cause for lynch syndrome - previously known as HNPP
31
polymerase alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon functions and exonuclease activity
alpha - replication (in a complex with primase and aids in starting the primer), DNA repair. no exonuclease activity (EA) beta - DNA repair exclusively. No EA. gamma - DNA replication in mitochondria. EA: 3'-to-5' delta - replication (processive DNA synthesis on lagging strand), DNA repair. EA: 3'-to-5' epsilon - replication (processive DNA synthesis on leading strand), DNA repair. EAL 3'-to-5'
32
nuclear excision repair (NER)
-single strand DNA repair mechanism - specific endonucleases release the oligonucleotides containing damaged bases - dna polymerase and ligase fill and reseal the gap - repairs bulky helix-distorting lesions - occurs in G1 phase of cell cycle - defective xeroderma pigmentosum - inability to repair DNA pyrimidine dimers caused by UV exposure findings: dry skin, extreme light sensitivity, skin cancer
33
base excision repair (BER)
- base-specific glycosylase removes altered base and creates AP site - one or more nucleotides are removed by AP-endonuclease, which cleaves 5' end - AP-lyase cleaves 3' end DNA polymerase-beta fills the gap and DNA ligase seals it - occurs throughout cell cycle
34
non-homologous end joining
- DNA repair mechanisms double strand - brings together 2 ends of DNA fragments to repair double-stranded breaks homologous end joining - can lead to lost or inserted DNA - defective in ataxia-telangiectasia
35
homologous recombination
- DNA repair mechanism double strand - requires 2 homologous DNA duplexes - a strand from damaged dsDNA is repaired using a complementary strand from intact homologous dsDNA as a template - defective in breast/ovarian cancers with BRCA1 mutation and in fanconi anemia
36
posttranscriptional modification
adding 5-methyl-guanosine cap, polyadenylation tail, splicing by spliceosome and leaving the nucleus to bind to ribosome
37
start and stop codons
AUG UAG UAA UGA
38
rRNA complex size in euk. vs. prok.
Euk: small 40S + large 60S = 80S prok: 30S + 50S = 70S
39
why does location of rRNA matter?
cytoplasmic rRNA processes mRNA for peptides that remain in the cell. RER rRNA translate for peptides destined either for the cell membrane or to be released outside of the cell.
40
tRNA structure and function
- CCA (can carry amino acids) - T-arm (tethers tRNA molecule to ribosome) - D-arm (allows detection of the tRNA by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase)
41
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase
uses ATP to bind an AA and charge it. then pyrophosphate is released and the synthetase matches an AA to the tRNA by scrutinizing the AA before and after it binds to tRNA
42
3 Pillars of Biochemistry
Biomolecules - all molecules found in living organisms Metabolism - all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms Molecular Biology - molecular mechanism of inheritance
43
Enzymes Involved in Unwinding of DNA
Helicase Single-stranded DNA binding proteins - helps prevent rapid degradation Topoisomerases - prevents supercoiling while unwinding
44
Telomeres
- cap the end of chromosomes and consist of repeat sequences of TTAGGG - binding of shelterin proteins protect ends from damage - shorten with each replication Hayflick's limit determines maximum times DNA can replication (mitotic clock) - telomerase is RNA dependent DNA polymerase like reverse transcriptase can extends of chromosomes
45
Types of RNA polymerases
type 1 - transcribes rRNA, located only in nucleolus type 2 - preRNA (hnRNA), miRNA, snRNA type 3 - transcribes tRNA, 5S rRNA
46
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase
1. ATP and an amino acid bind to it to charge it 2. pyrophosphate is released 3. synthetase matches an amino acid to the tRNA *if correct AA, AMP is released, if incorrect, bond is hydrolyzed) 4. charged tRNA is released from synthetase
47
Translation Initiation Factors
- elF2 binds to initiator tRNAi + GTP to 40S rRNA with help of elF3 (pulls everything together) - elF4E identifies 5' cap via cap binding proteins (rate limiting step)
48
Translation - Elongation
1st. Met binds to P site 2nd AA binds to A site 3rd. peptidyl-transferase catalyzed peptide bond formation -> transfers growing polypeptide to A site 4. 2nd AA tRNA moves to P side (translocation) which requires eEF-2 and GTP. this kicks out Met tRNA in E site **each cycle requires 4 phosphate bonds**
49
Translational Regulation - miRNA
1. Cell makes hairpin miRNA and releases them from the nucleus - transported by exportin 5 2. Hairpin loop removed and binds with chaperon proteins called argonuates 3. miRNA binds with complementary strand of mRNA 4. Destabilizes mRNA leading to miRNA induced mRNA decay
50
Protein Folding - (primary, secondary,etc)
primary - sequence from N terminal to C terminal secondary - structure based on hydrogen bonds within sequence (alpha helix vs. beta pleated sheets) tertiary - reactions based on peptides amino side chains within sequence - often assisted by chaperone proteins quaternary - combine with other peptides - leads to locus heterogeneity. formed mainly by hydrophobic interactions
51
post-translational modifications
- cleaved into smaller ones - modified by phosphorylation, glycosylation, hydroxylation, methylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination (Post grad has me and U) - given signals to leave or transport to specific organelles
52
Acidic vs. basic amino acids
acidic (-) - Tyr, Cys, Asp, Glu basic (+) - Arg, Lys, His acidic pH - bases are ionized basic pH - acids are ionized
53
conjugated enzyme
protein (apoenzyme) and cofactor (coenzyme + prosthetic group)
54
holoenzyme
catalytically active conjugated enzyme
55
zymogen (proenzyme)
enzyme synthesized in a catalytically inactive form - requires metabolic processing to become active
56
isoenzymes
different structural forms of an enzyme have the same function
57
Prion proteins and associated diseases
- misfolded becoming dysfunctional and are contagious - can lead to disease or cell death - Familial creutzfeldt-jakob disease (fCJD) - caused by sporadic or inherited mutations causing PrPSc formation -variant CJF - caused by consumption of meat acquired from "mad cow disease" - infected cattle Latrogenic CJD - caused by cadaveric human growth-hormone use Kuru - caused by consumption &/or improper handling of human tissues containing PrPSc
58
Dissociation constant
Kd = [L][P]/[LP] = k-1/k1
59
Uncompetitive inhibitor
both Km and Vmax decrease because it only binds to the [ES] complex, reversible
60
Noncompetitive Inhibitor
Vmax decreased, Km unaffected, binds to only allosteric site, irreversible because it is covalently bound
61
Competitive Inhibitor
Vmax unaffected, Km decreased, binds to substrate site, reversible
