Exam 5

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
show promoter region (CAP + RNA polymerase), operator, and structural genes; inducer of lactose operon is lactose  
🗑
gene z   show
🗑
gene y   show
🗑
gene a   show
🗑
show repressor gene; product (R) binds to operator to inhibit transcription (negative gene regulation); makes the protein that is the repressor - sits on the gene and stops transcription  
🗑
gene o   show
🗑
show inducer; lactose (allolactose) binds repressor product, which no longer binds operator;  
🗑
p   show
🗑
show catabolite activator protein; binds promoter region to activate transcription of structural genes (positive gene regulation); insure that glucose is used before lactose  
🗑
show cyclic adenosine monophosphate; complexes with CAP to allow efficient complexing to promoter region  
🗑
CAP-cAMP complex   show
🗑
negative regulation   show
🗑
show I P O lacZ lacY lazA  
🗑
show the regulator protein (a repressor) binds to the operator and inhibits transcription  
🗑
show some of the lactose is converted into allolactose, which binds to the regulator protein thus making it inactive and unable to bind to the operator; transcription can then occur  
🗑
positive regulation   show
🗑
show cAMP binds to CAP and the complex binds to DNA, which increases the efficiency of polymerase binding; this results in high levels of transcription and translation of the structural genes to break down lactose into glucose  
🗑
when levels of cAMP are low and glucose is high   show
🗑
glucose present (cAMP); no lactose; no lac mRNA   show
🗑
glucose present (cAMP low); lactose present   show
🗑
show maximum transcription because CAP and cAMP can readily bind  
🗑
show when a base is replaced with a similar base (ex: A is swapped for G)  
🗑
transversion mutation   show
🗑
frameshift mutation   show
🗑
when a tautomeric shift occurs   show
🗑
base analogs   show
🗑
show donate an alkyl group to amino or keto groups in nucleotides to alter base-pairing affinity  
🗑
Intercalating agents   show
🗑
UV radiation   show
🗑
show removes thymine dimers caused by UV light; depends on the activity of a protein called the photoreactivation enzyme (PRE).  
🗑
PRE system of UV repair   show
🗑
Base excision repair (BER   show
🗑
show DNA damage causes distortion that is recognized by an enzyme complex; the DNA is then separated and ssDBP stabilize the ssDNA; An eynzyme cleaves the strand on both sides of the damage and removes it; DNA polymerase and DNA ligase fill and seal the gap;  
🗑
show Individuals with xeroderma pigmentosum have lost the ability to undergo nucleotide excision repair; faulty XPA system  
🗑
show fixes a dsDNA break by digesting back the 5' ends to leave overhanging 3' ends that interact with a region of an undamaged sister chromatid to allow DNA polymerase to copy the undamaged DNA sequence into the damaged strand; uses BRCA genes  
🗑
Insertion sequences (IS elements)   show
🗑
show ~50% of the human genome  
🗑
cancer   show
🗑
show stops replication and it is responsible for genomic stability and DNA repair (signals what strand was the original strand)  
🗑
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia   show
🗑
HNPCC   show
🗑
show when there is a balance of Bcl2 and BAX, they form inactive heterodimers; when there is an excess of Bcl2, they form homodimers and prevent apoptosis; when there is an excess of BAX, they form homodimers and stimulate apoptosis  
🗑
show are resistant to chemotherapies and radiation therapies  
🗑
show induces transcription of BAX and inhibits transcription of Bcl2, leading to cell death.  
🗑
show a G-Protein, critical to cell signals linked to nuclear transcription; controlled by GTP; When Ras is constantly turned on, it turns on a pathway for transcription, which will alter protein levels; if not turned off, the cell will turn malignant  
🗑
Ras pathway   show
🗑
Ras mutation   show
🗑
show A protein that can stimulate or repress transcription of more than 50 genes; p21 cell cycle arrest at G1/S checkpoint via cyclin D arrest; can also halt G2/M; Activates DNA repair pathways and if that fails apoptosis  
🗑
show 50%  
🗑
show a protein that controls the G1/S checkpoint (tumor suppressor gene); those affected are born with 1 mutated copy and the other copy mutates within 6 months; kids with this disease will have their pupils turn white when exposed to light;  
🗑
show RB binds E2F and keeps it inactive; increasing concentrations of cylcin D and E phosphorylate RB, which activates it and releases E2F, which then binds to DNA and stimulates transcription; works in the nucleus and cytoplasm  
🗑
show Histone deacetylases and histone acetyltrasnferases; responsible for remodeling chromatin  
🗑
show Parts of cancer cells that will entice vascular cells to grow towards the cancerous cells (induce blood supply)  
🗑
What % of cancers are hereditary?   show
🗑
show loss or inactivation of one of the APC alleles (c5); mutation of the K-ras oncogene (c12); loss of DCC (c18); loss of p53 (c17); some people may only go partway through this pathway  
🗑
show anaphase promoting complex cause the cells to divide  
🗑
What % of cancers are associated with viruses?   show
🗑
show smoking causes transitions/transversions; UV damage causes thymine dimers; chemicals may not initially be harmful but may degrade into a harmful substance; radiation can be fatal enough to cause spontaneous abortions  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
