DNA-Central Dogma
Test 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Holoenzyme | core + sigma factor |
| Core Enzyme | alpha, beta, beta prime, omega |
| What are the three steps in Replication, Transcription, Translation? | Initiation, Elongation, Termination |
| Central Dogma | Replication-Transcription-Elongation |
| How do the DNA strands separate at the replication fork? | DnaA binds to FIVE 9bp segments at oriC |
| Who discovered DNA? | Friedrich Miescher 1869 |
| cAMP | interacts with CRP; it regulates 100+ operons; also networks in phages such as lambda. |
| DNA gyrase | enzyme that temporarily breaks the strands of DNA, relieving the tension cause by unwinding the two strands of the DNA helix. |
| DNA ligase | Enzyme that joins two DNA fragments by forming covalent bond between the sugar-phosphate residues of adjacent nucleotides. |
| Helicases | Enzymes that unwind the DNA helix ahead of the replication fork. |
| Okazaki fragments | Nucleic acid fragment generated during discontinuous replication of the lagging strand of DNA. |
| DNA replication is generally | bidirectional, semiconservative |
| DNA lagging strand | Discontinuous, away from replication fork, 3-5 |
| DNA leading strand | Continuous, towards the replication fork, 5-3 |
| Stop codons | UAA, UAG, UGA |
| Anticodon | complementary to an mRNA codon |
| Polyribosome/Polysome | many ribosomes attached to a single mRNA molecule |
| Prokaryote Ribosome | 30S + 50S = 70S |
| rRNA | a type of RNA molecule found in ribosomes |
