| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This enzyme phosphorylates phosphorylase in glycogenolysis | Phosphorylase kinase |
| Elevated cAMP binds to this enzyme and removes the inhibitory subunit | Protein Kinase A |
| Hydrolyzes glycogen | Phosphorylase |
| Remove phosphates on phosphorylase kinase and phsophorylase | Protein phsophatases |
| Activates IP3, DAG and Ca2+ | Phospholipase C |
| Stimulated by diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol trisphosphate 3 (IP3) | Protein kinase C |
| Cleaves phosphodiester bonds | Nuclease |
| A nuclease that cleaves at the end of a DNA strand and releases an dNMP | Exonuclease |
| Hydrolyze nucleotides at either the 3' end or 5' end | Exonuclease |
| Hydrolyze nucleotides at the 3' end | 3'->5' exonuclease |
| Hydrolyze nucleotides at the 5' end | 5'->3' exonuclease |
| Hydrolyze the phsophodiester bond in the middle of a DNA strand | Endonucleases |
| Restriction enzymes are what kind of enzyme? | Endonucleases |
| Forms a phosphodiester bond between the 3' OH and 5' phosphate | DNA ligase |
| Unwinds DNA at the replication fork in E. coli | Helicase |
| Adds negative supercoils ahead of replication fork in E. coli | DNA gyrase |
| Synthesizes RNA Primer in E. coli | Primase |
| Synthesizes the bulk of the DNA in E. coli | DNA pol III |
| Removes RNA primers and fills in the gaps in E. coli | DNA pol I |
| Sealse the nicks in E. coli | DNA ligase |
| Requires a primer | DNA polymerase |
| Responsible for priming synthesis in human cells | DNA polymerase alpha |
| Synthesizes the bulk of both strands of DNA in human cells | DNA polymerase delta |
| Synthesizes a short stretch of RNA and then extens this RNA in human cells to prime replication | DNA polymerase alpha |
| Remove RNA and any incorrect DNA bases misincorporated by pol alpha in eukaryotic cells | RNAse H1 and Flap endonuclease-1 (FEN-1) |
| Move along the DNA backbone and scan for the presence of damaged bases | N-glycosidases and AP endonucleases |
| Recognizes the absent base and clips the phosphodiester backbone on the 5' side of the AP site | AP endonuclease |
| Recognizes AP sites that are created by ROS or formed spontaneously | AP endonuclease |
