Q

What happens when eEF-1α/GDP is released?

Study These Flashcards
A

tRNA inserted into the A site (irreversible)

23
Q

Which enzyme catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds in elongation?

Study These Flashcards
A

peptidyltransferase

24
Q

Which elongation factor promotes exchange of bound GDP on eEF-1α for GTP?

25
What role do the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTR) play in translation?
They can bind regulatory proteins to modulate translation.
26
How is ferritin mRNA translationally regulated?
Iron regulatory protein (IRP) binds to the iron response element in 5' UTR, blocking translation
27
Translation of ferritin mRNA is blocked under what condition?
iron is absent
28
What binds to the 3' UTR of ceruloplasmin (copper-carrying protein) mRNA during inflammation, inhibiting ribosome recruitment.
GAIT
29
Proteins can bind to the _____ in order to direct mRNAs to particular cellular locations?
3' UTR
30
Phosphorylation of eIF-2 and e-IF2B does what?
Blocks exchange of GDP for GTP. (Inhibits)
31
Antibiotic used to inhibit initiation by binding to and distorting the structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit (prokaryotic)
Streptomycin
32
Inhibits elongation by blocking access of the A site through interaction with the 30S ribosome subunit
Tetracyclines
33
Binds and inhibits the peptidyltransferase activity of the 50S ribosome, preventing the formation of peptide bonds and blocking elongation
Chloramphenicol
34
Inhibit translocation of the ribosome by binding to the 50S subunit, blocking elongation
Erythromcin and clindamycin
35
Structural analog of tyrosyl-tRNA. Enters the A site of the ribosome and is incorporated into the peptide causing premature release of the polypeptide (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic)
Puromycin
36
Binds and inhibits the peptidyltransferase activity of the 50S ribosome, preventing the formation of peptide bonds and blocking elongation (prokaryotic)
Chloramphenicol
37
Cleaves the adenine residue from the 60S subunit (eukaryotic), making it so that eEF-2 can't bind
Ricin
38
Structural analog of tyrosyl-tRNA. Enters the A site of the ribosome and is incorporated into the peptide causing premature release of the polypeptide (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic)
Puromycin
39
Naturally occurring fungicide, interfering with the translocation step in protein synthesis, blocking eukaryotic translational elongation
Cyclohexamide
40
Cleaves the adenine residue from the 60S subunit (eukaryotic), making it so that eEF-2 can't bind
Ricin
41
Provides favorable conditions for correct folding, prevents aggregation, and prevents misfolding of proteins. Proteins which remain improperly folded after translation are brought here.
Chaperonin
42
Three roles for protein cleavage in protein processing
1) removal of the initiator methionine at the N-terminus 2) N-terminal signal sequence targets proteins for transport. This can be cleaved 3) cleavage of large precursors forms active enzyme/hormone
43
Cataylzes interconversion between prolyl isomerases
Peptyidyl Prolyl Isomerase
44
Three types of lipid attachments during protein processing
1) N-myristoylation 2) prenylation 3) palmitoylation
45
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors attach proteins to which side of the ER membrane?
luminal
46
ER-associated degradation/quality control chaperones
Calnexin and calreticulin
47
Excess of unfolded proteins activates a signaling pathway. Leads to expansion of the ER, production of more chaperones, and apoptosis in extreme cases.
Unfolded protein response
48
What is the start codon's amino acid in prokaryotes?
Formyl-methionine (methionine in eukaryotes)
49
eIF-2 binds to what subunit in the preinitiation complex?
43S preinitiation complex
50
What is the name of the kinase which can inhibit eIF-2
PKR
51
eEF-1alpha uses GTP to do what?
Bring the tRNA into the A site
52
What ubiquinates and targets shit for proteosome?
APC
53
Which side chain residue does ubiquitin add to?
Lysine
