31
why DNA with more G=C bonds isharder to denaturate
more H bonds
32

37
what is a primosome
a primosome is a protein complex (DnaG primase, DnaB helicase, DnaC helicase assistant, DnaT, PriA, Pri B, and PriC.) formed by primase enzyme responsible for creating RNA primers, in prokaryotes.
38
why do wwe have two replication forks
two helicases bond, goes both directions
39
how are supercoilings resolved
through topoismerase, by causing temporary nicks in the DNA helix
40
initiation
Helicase opens up Dna helix, breaks hydrogen bonds + activate primase = forms primosome. A replication bubble with its two replications forks forms in the origin of replication nucleotides sequence. free nucleotides provides energy from breaking two phosphate bonds, from its three phosphate. the energy is used to form phosphatdieseter bond between two nucleotides. the opening of the helix causes overwinding or suopercoiling, ahead of the replication forks.
41
how many repication origins in both types cells
pro, one origins, approximately 245 base pairs long wich with AT sequences. euk, multiple up to 100,000 origin
42
DNA polymerase lll
requiere a template and a primer, 5' > 3' synthesize, he moves 3 to 5 proofread ( remove nuleotides that are accedintly added)
43
lagging strand
the strand made of okazaki fragments, with each has its own primer
44
single strand binding protein
coat the seperated strand causing to not bind again temporary
45
Dna igase
Dna ligase, repairs the Okazaki fragments in lagging strand
46
Sliding clamp
helps DNA polymerase to stay bonded on the lagging strand
47
topoisomerase
prevent the DNA helix from getting to tightly wounded makes temporary nicks in the helix to release the tension, then sealing the nicks to avoid permanent damage.
48
DNA polymerase l
DNA repairing enzyme. able to catalyse multiple polymerisation before releasing the template DNA. filliling okazaki fragments with DNA removes RNA primers from 5 to 3 proof reading from 3 to 5 exonuclease activity
49
exonuclease activity meaning
Exonucleases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of nucleotides in either the 5-prime to 3-prime or the 3-prime to 5-prime direction from the ends of single-stranded and/or double-stranded DNA. Removal of nucleotides is achieved by cleavage of phosphodiester bonds via hydrolysis
50
Dna polymerase ll
DNA replication 3 to f proofreading exonuclease activity 5 to 3 polymerase activity interacts with DNA polymerase 3 to maintain the fidelity (accuracy) and processitivity of DNA replication
51
ORC
origin recognition copmplex, initiator protein by eukaryotes ORC binds to two different areas at one end of the replicator durng G1 phase + recruits other replication proteins to foprm prereplicative complexes that get ativated between g phase and S phase
52
Pol ε
synthesizes the leading strand
53
Pol δ
synthesizes the lagging strand
54
what hapens when the primers are removed from the 5' end of the new strand
overhang of the parental DNA, cant filled with complimentary DNA becasue DNA polymerase needs primer, this why the DNA get shorter after each repliation
55
eukaryote telomerase
has a complementary RNA sequence to the 3' Overhang parental DNA strand after replication, The RNA sequence s used to SYnthesize the complemantary strand telomerase shift and the process is repeated Primase and dna polymerase continue the synthesize of the strand
56

5 to 3
57
molecules in replications
dNTP's datp dctp etc...
58
which ion is needed for optimal DNA polymerase activity
Mg+ Magnesium
59
Molecules in Transcription
ATP GTP CTP UTC
60
Reverse transcriptase
DNA polymerase synthesiz double stranded DNA from RNA
61
is RNA polymerase rimer dependent
no
62
prokaryote transcription
initiation: promoter sequence, signles the RNA polymerase to start transcription. RNA- coding sequence, coding region for the RNA polymerase, determines the Amnio acids sequence. terminator sequence, where the process stops general transcription factors activate transcription RNA polymerase has sigma factor to recognize the promoter holoenzyme in the RNA polymerase contacts the -35 sequence and then binds to the full promoter (closed promoter complex) untwists DNA in the -10 region (open promoter complex)
63
transcription elongation pro
o Transcription bubble o Transcription factors unzip the double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds o Sigma factor is released and RNA polymerase moves along the DNA o Core enzyme can complete the transcription of the gene alone o RNA polymerase continues to untwist the DNA ahead of it (behind the translation bubble the DNA strands reform into double stranded DNA) o RNA exits the enzyme single stranded o Two proofreading mechanisms: 1. replacing an incorrect nucleotide for a correct nucleotide (RNA polymerase reverses its synthesis reaction); 2. Enzyme moves back one or more nucleotides and cleaves the RNA at that position
64
termination transcription pro
terminator sequence (repetiton of a sequence) core RNA polymerase terminate the process RNA polymerase transcribes the terminator sequence > RNA folds into a hairpin loop structure Rna polymerase dissociate from template
65
termination pro transcription hairpin loop stracture function

ensure the start of transcription at the correct site
70
promotor proximal elements function
Short sequence element called Inr (initiator) which spans the transcription initiation start site; 2. The TATA box at position ca. -30; they determine where transcription will begin
71
TATA boxfunction
determines where transcription begin
72

modulate the transcription form distance
74
the three mRNA parts
5' UTR, untranslated region or leader sequence at the 5' end, upstream protein coding sequence 3' UTR, trailer sequence, downstream UTR can regulate gene expression
75
initiation transcript euk
RNA Pol ll, and GTF's (general transcription factors) on the core promoter. GTF bind and then RNA form complex with other GTF's Preinitiation complex (PIC): GTFs and RNA polymerase 2 bind to promoter elements in a particular order transcription begins
76
5' end modification
5' caping after RNApolymerase 2 made 20-30 nuc pre-mRNA capping enzyme add guanine nucleotide (7-methyl guanosine) to the 5 end it protects the transcript from being broken down. It also helps the ribosome attach to the mRNA and start reading it to make a protein
77
3 modification
poly a tail 50-250 The tail makes the transcript more stable and helps it get exported from the nucleus to the cytosol
78
ribonuclease
When a sequence called a polyadenylation signal shows up inan RNA molecule during transcription, an enzyme(ribonuclease) chops the RNA in two at that site. Another enzyme adds about 100-200 adenine (A) nucleotides to the cut end, forming a poly-A tail.
79
splicing
introns chop chop, exons recombination occur occur, boom gigtrilion propapility amino acid sequence from one mRNA
80
are all genes transcriped
transcription for each gene is controlled individually Cells carefully regulate transcription, transcribing just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment in prokaryote each group of genes are transcriped together
81
types of RNA
tRNA, rRNA
82
tRNA function
match mRNA codon and bring its aminoacid L shape has anti codon attachment site of the amino acid differ slightly in structure, cause each tRNA has its own amino acid
