Cards

Term
Reason why a cell packages DNA into chromosomes

Term
Difference between DNase I footprinting and mobility shift assay
Definition
-DNase I footprinting: shows entire, exact sequence.

Term
Two functions of 5' cap
Definition
-Protect RNA from degredation

-Enhance efficiency of splicing
Term
What if RNA polymerase has defective CTD tail
Definition
-CTD tail recruits proteins needed for events in RNA processing.

-if defective, machinery and proteins needed for processing wouldnt be recruited
Term
How standard lariat generating splicing reaction occurs
Definition
- 2'OH on A of branch point braks phosphodiester bond b/w first exon and G on intron.
-Free 5' end on intron binds to branch.
-3' end on first exon braks phosphodiester bond b/w 2nd exon and intron
-intron (lariat) is released and exon-exon linkage forms.
Term
Advantage to a cell that undergoes alternative splicing
Definition
-More variability will occur
-More mutation to decrease amount of heritable disease
-Diff proteins can arise from alternative splicing
Term
Diff b/w aminoacyl-tRNA and peptidyl-tRNA
Definition
-Animoacyl-tRNA: tRNA bound to amino acids. Charged.

-Peptidyl-tRNA: tRNA bound to growing peptide chain. Not charged.
Term
G0: One type of cyclin-dependent might do in this phase
Definition
Cyclins made and activated to turn on DNA replication
Term
G0: type of checkpoint activity might occur before progression to next phase
Definition
checkpoint to make sure pre-replication complex is assembled correcting before entering S phase
Term
S: One type of cyclin-dependent might do in this phase
Definition
Cyclins activated to prompt entry into M phase
Term
S: type of checkpoint activity might occur before progression to next phase
Definition
checkpoint to make sure DNA was replicated correctly
Term
M: One type of cyclin-dependent might do in this phase
Definition
cyclins to make sure correct genes activated to create correct condensing of chromosomes
Term
M: type of checkpoint activity might occur before progression to next phase
Definition
checkpoint to check for DNA damage
Term
What happens in thumb domain of DNA polymerase
Definition
holds polymerase in place
Term
What happens in palm domain of DNA polymerase
Definition
catalytic site; keeps nucleotides in place
Term
What happens in fingers domain of DNA polymerase
Definition
brings in new dNTP to be added
Term
Why pre-RC complex will not be created when CDK levels are high in cell.
Definition
CDK levels high, pre-RC complex formation is inhibited and activation is activated.

-Pre-RC complex formation occurs when CDK levels low in G phase and inhibited when they are high in S phase to prevents copying DNA again
Term
Gene
Definition
entire nucleotide sequence required for synthesis of new gene product including reulatory elements outside ora
Term
CAF1 chaperone
Definition
chaperone associated with sliding clamp during DNA replication to recruit histones and assemble nucleosomes
Term

Definition
sequence on cDNA cyclin that targets ubiquitin binding for degredation
Term

organizing DNA protein that condense chromosome w/in 1 sister chromatid for tighter packaging
Term

Term

Definition
enzyme catalyzes reaction of splicing machinery to remove introns and join exons

Term
S phase
Definition
pre-RC complex activated, DNA replication
Term
M phase
Definition
mitosis occurs, cohesin, (SMC) forms
Term
What anaphase promoting complex does
Definition

What would happen if cell lacking helicase

-DNA replication couldnt occur b/c no enzyme toopen dsDNA.

-also inhibit transcription and translation
Term
What would happen if had cell with helicase, but no topoisomerase
Definition
-w/ helicase could unwind

-no topoisomerase the + supercoil would create too much tension after helicase uncound X number of bases that DNA couldnt relieve supercoil and replication would cease
Term
What would happen if cell lacking functional DNA clamp
Definition
-DNA poly. would go slow replicating 20-100bp before dissociates from stands and drifts off.

-clamp holds DNA tightly and allows to disassociate but not freely, makes sure it comes back to SAME PRIMER and starts again
Term

-provide template for translation machinery

-organize DNA in long strands of loosely associated strings
Term
true about histones
Definition
-exist as octamers when bound to DNA

-histone proteins recycled during DNA replication and reassembled once DNA strand is replicated

-acetylation of histones allows DNA to be more loosely packed allowing for transcription of genes
