Cards

Term
Key factor in det rate of gene expression?
Definition

TX

How often Rna pol starts TX dictates how often hene is translated

Energy of conservation

Term
HATs
Definition

Histone Acetyl Transferase

acetylates lyisne of dna which is wrapped around histone. lt looses its charge and falls off. Facilitates bromodomain Bind Proteins to bind nucleosome-->blocks association of dna w/ histone-->incr TX

Term
hDACs
Definition

opposite of HAts

slows Tx

Term
Methylation of cpG islands
Definition

usually on GC rich regionsof 5' cpg islands--> dec in tx.

5' region usually site of regulation.

Methylation bocks TF from binding DNA

Term
Affect of Methylation of cpg binding domain proteins
Definition
silence trasncription
Term
DNA methyl transferase
Definition

target for anticancer drungs

in cancer hypermethylation of cpg--> tx silencing

Term
+1 site
Definition
The first nucleotide to be transcribed from the 3` end of the DNA sequence, at
the 5` end of the promoter region, before the Shine-Dalgarno sequence in
prokaryotes. Usually a T or C
Term
Cis Mutation of DNA
Definition
occur in non coding regions within promoter region
Term
Trans muation
Definition
occurs in proteins which bind dna regualtory sites and affect TX
Term
Unique TFs
Definition
bind proximal to respnse elements ie CAAT box
Term
General TFs
Definition

bind TATA box

TF IID is first to bind

Then A, B and H=helicase

followed by RNA pol II which must be phsophorylated by H initiate TX

Term
Activation by enhancers
Definition
seqs of dna distal intitiation site. req protein binding which loop and stabilize DNA for TX
Term
Splicesome components
Definition

U1 binds gu

u2 bind A in middle

U5 joins exon1 and 2

Term
Karyophine
Definition

RNA transport protein

transport through NPC

Facilitated transport

Term
Transcript Stability Ex
Definition

@ high [Fe] IRE cannot bind to mRNA stem loop structures --> degradation of mRNA

 

@ low [Fe] it can bind and protect stem loop

@ low[Fe] --> translation is possible

Fe can be transported out of the cell

Term
Diptheria Toxin
Definition
inhibit eEF-2--> no translation
Term
effect of Picorna Virus, Polio, Rhina EMCV
Definition

eIF4E is reqd for 7 meth guan cap

Picorna has a 5' internal ribosomal entry site which bypasses normal controls for ribosomal assembly

Term
Most common post translation MOD
Definition

phosphorylation of SEr

also glycosylation and phosphorylation of above + Thr and Tyr

Phosphorylation of Tyr for signal transduction

Term
Post translational glycosylation
Definition

N linked on Asn req interm

O linked on Ser or Thy in Golgi no interm

Term
Effect of glycosylation
Definition
signal for protein to go to extra cellular space or compartamentilztion
Term

Dolichol Phosphate

 

Definition

starting block for branched chain glycosylation

occurs in golgi

Term
O-linked glycosylation
Definition
1 monosach, 1 enzyme
Term
Ubiquination
Definition
E1, E2, E3 tag proteins for ubiquination
Term
Ubiquination and Neurodeg disaease
Definition
Damaged DNA makes RNA pol II bind to it Differently --> tagging of pol II with ubiquitin --> no TX
Term
Effect of MODS on small RNA
Definition
major effect on gene expression
