Cards

Term
Nonsense
Definition
change to stop codon
Term
Missense
Definition

changes the AA

makes protein bigger

Term
Silent Mutation
Definition
no change in AA
Term
Trinucleotide repeat
Definition

Can fuck with DNA POL
DNA POL get confused and replicates a region again

mutated seq with too many repeats

Term
Huntingtons
Definition

CAG reapeated

incurable neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming noticeable in middle age.

Term
Fragile X
Definition
CGG @ 5'
Term
Myotonic dystrophy
Definition
CTG @ 3'
Term
microsattelite
Definition
di or trinucleotide repeats
Term

Frame Shift

and an ex

Definition

usually nonsensical

Ex. cystic fibrosis which lose phe which is stuck in golgi and cannot be processed

Term
Prok Initiation complex
Definition

mrna

fmet tRNA

ribosomal subunits

IF: 1,2,3 promote binding of mRNA to 30s

IF2 hydrolyzes GTP to GDP

After GTP is cleaved 50s subunit binds and IF fall off

Term
Shinedelgarno
Definition
seq 8-10 bp upstream of AUG. seq base pairing is reqd for AUG to be positioned over shine delgarno
Term
FNC of tRNA fMETH
Definition

binds to AUG through the P site of initiation complex.

Req's gtp binding

Term
What is location of tRNA synthesis?
Definition

nucleolus and via RNA POL I

it made via a 45 S precursor which is cleaved into the mature version

Term
Streptomycin
Definition
Binds to the 30 S subunit which changes the shape of the ribosome. this causes misreading of mRNA--> wrong aa being
Term
Eukaryotic Ininitiation
Definition

eIF4 binds 5' cap.

POlyA binding proteins bind to eIF4 and cap complex= activators.

Small subunit is attracted to cap binding proteins--> it attaches along with eIF2, GTP, tRNA complex with met attached. Small subunit scans until it reaches AUG--> triggers the hydolysis of gto via eIF2--> release of ifs and binding of the large ribosomal subunit and translation begins.

Term
Peptide bond formation
Definition

PP elongates through a tunnel in large subunit. the mRNA is moved not the protein. eEF1 guides a new aa tRNA to the A site.

Gtp hydolysis allows eEF1 to dissociate from tRNA

Term
Ricin
Definition

removes highly conserve A from 28s rRNA--> stops translation

removal of one base can inactivate entire 60s subunit (LARGE).

Term
Why is Adenine crucial ribosome
Definition
It is important for the interaction of eEF1 and 2 with the ribosome large subunit.
Term
tetracycline
Definition
disrupts codon-anti codon interaction by binding the small subunit. this prevents AA tRNA from binding the A site
Term
eEF1
Definition
guides new AA tRNA into a site. when gtp is hydolyzed it falls off. if incorrect tRNA is @ A site, it wont hydrolyze gtp
Term
Peptide bond formation
Definition
the AA attached to tRNA in p site is transferred to tRNA in A site. This is catalyzed by peptidyle transferase (function of large subunit 28s) or 60s. Adenine in active site catalyzes peptide bond via acid base catalysis
Term
importance of Adenine to ribosome
Definition
very important to 60s subunit. sits in active site for catalysis of peptide bond formation btwn AA in a and p sites. as well as for interaction of ribosome and eEF1 and 2.
Term
chloramphenicol
Definition
fuck with the large subunit 23s in prok. affects peptidyl trasnferase activity or formation of peptide bond
Term
cyclohexamide
Definition
has the same effect as chloramphenicol but on eukaryotes large subunit 28s. affects peptidly transferase aka peptide bond formation
Term
puromycin
Definition
structural resemblence to AA tRNA. incorporated into pp and casuses early termination. affects both euk and prok.
Term
Translocation
Definition

advancement of tRNA 3 BP. what was in the P site now moves to e. what was in A goes to P. and A is now empty.

eEF2( EF-G in Prok) drives transloaction via gtp hydrolysis.

Term
eEF1
Definition

guides new AA tRNA into A site reqs hydrolysis of gtp

prok analog = EF-TU, EF-Ts

GTP hydrolysis is reqd for it to dissociate

Term
eEF-2 and prok analog
Definition

drives translocation of ribosome via gtp hydolysis.

prok = EF-G

Term
Clindamycin
Definition
inhibits translation by binding irreversibly to 50s of bacteria, prevents moviemtn
Term
Erthromycin
Definition

same as clindamycin

binds irreversible to the 50s and inhibits translation via preventing movement of ribosome.

Term
Diptheria Toxin
Definition
inhibits eEF2 responsible for trasnlocation. does so by adp-ribosylation
Term
eRF1
Definition

recognizes the stop codon in the A site--> hydrolyzes peptidly tRNA bond--> relase of new peptide chain from complex. uses gtp to break up entire complex

EUK RELEASE FACTOR

Term
ATP/GTP requirements
Definition

1) translational intiation

2) charging of tRNA

3) attachment of tRNA to a site

4) translocation

5) dissolution of complex.

Term
eIF4
Definition

binds 5' cap of mRNA=CBP

attracts small subunit to eventually bind

EUK

Term
eIF2
Definition

part of the complex with tRNA, small ribosomal subunit, met.

when it hydrolyzes gtp it causes the release of other intiation factors and is a SIGNAL for Large subunit binding.

ALSO BRINGS first tRNA into P SITE

must have bound gtp

Term
Ferritin
Definition

iron storage protein.

cell will make more of this when [Fe] is high

Term
Transferrin
Definition
Plasma membrane receptor which allows for Fe entry into cytosol. production of this protein increase when [Fe] is low.
Term
Effects on Ferretin and transferrin synthesis when low [Fe]
Definition

Ferretin is down regulated by aconitase binding 5' of translational start site

Transferrin is upregulated by aconitase binding to area near 3' stop seq, preventing RNASe from stopping translation

Term
Effects of ferretin and transferrin when [Fe] is high
Definition

Fe binds aconitase and prevents it from binding 5' of tx start site

aconitase can no longer cover the stop seq for transferring so it will not be expressed as much.
