USCSOM: Biochemistry: L29 Protein Synthesis I
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What enzyme joins amino acids to the correct tRNA? | aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetases |
What end of the tRNA does the amino acid join to? 3' or 5' | 3' |
What kind of linkage joins the amino acid to the tRNA molecule? | ester |
What stop codon can sometimes specify seleno cysteine? | UGA |
What AA is sometimes called the 21st AA? | selenocysteine |
What special sequence requires a stem-loop forming sequence downstream of a UGA codon? | Selenocysteine Insertion Sequence |
What is the number of small subunits for higher level organisms? | 40S |
What is the first codon used in most protein synthesis? | AUG |
What AA does AUG code for? | Met |
What is eIF2? Function? | eukaryotic initiation factor 2; binds tRNAiMet to small subunit |
What is the "Kozak" consesus? | PuPyPyAUGG; favorable start codon |
What does eIF4 do? | caps the 5' end |
What is the Shine-Dalgarno sequence? | upstream sequence to a start codon that can base pair to 3' end of 16S RNA |
What is the P-site? | peptide chain bound to the last tRNA |
WHat is the A-Site? | aminoacyl-tRNA |
What two things are required for binding an incoming charged tRNA? | hydrolysis of GTP and elongation factors |
What is peptide bond formation catalyzed by? | 28S rRNA |
What two things are required for the A-site to move to the P-site? | GTP hydrolysis and EF2 |
How does the peptide chain terminate in the P-site? | stop codons, special release factors bind |
From what end to what end is the mRNA read? | 5' to 3' |
From what end to what end is the protein synthesized? | from amino to carboxyl end |
Peptidyl transferase reside on what rRNA? | 28S |
What is the term for multiple ribosomes working on a single mRNA? | polysomes |
What are the 2 times of chaperones? | Hsp 60 and Hsp 70 |
What are function of Hsp 70's? | BiP - major ER chaperone |
What is another name of Hsp 60? | chaperonins; in mitochondrial matrix; example is GroEL |
What is the chaperone mechanism? | bind and release hydrophobic regions until all are buried inside of the protein |
What inhibits pro and eukaryote protein synthesis? | puromycin |
What inhibits peptidyl transferase in eukaryotes? | cycloheximidine |
What inihbits protein synthesis initiation and causes misreading in prokaryotes? | Streptomycin |
What inhibits binding of tRNA to 30s subunit? | tetracycline |
What inhibits peptidyl transferase in 50s subunits in prokaryotes? | chloramphenicol |
What binds to 50s subunits and inhibits translocation in prokaryotes? | erythromycin |
