Question
Answer
The transfer of genetic information from nucleotide language into AA language of proteins   Translation  
🗑
Genetic coding includes__ nucleotides and __ AAs, __ combinations   4, 20, 64  
🗑
Stop codons   UAA, UGA, UAG  
🗑
____ mutations – one base is altered   point  
🗑
_____ (point) mutation – changed codon may code for the same AA   Silent  
🗑
______ (point)mutation – changed codon may code for different AA   Missense  
🗑
_____ (point)mutation – changed codon may become a termination codon   Nonsense  
🗑
In the sickle cell gene, GTG (Val) replaces the normal GAG (Glu)   Missense mutation  
🗑
The number of inserted or deleted nucleotides is not multiple of three   Frameshift mutation  
🗑
Components req. for translation   1)mRNA and tRNAs 2)Ribosomes Protein factors3) Amino Acids 4)energy sources  
🗑
Has an attachment site for specific AA at 3’-end,Contains anticodon that recognizes codon on mRNA, Specifies insertion of AA into growing peptide   tRNA  
🗑
Has an attachment site for specific AA at 3’-endContains anticodon that recognizes codon on mRNASpecifies insertion of AA into growing peptide   Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases  
🗑
Ribosome has __ sites for tRNA molecules   3 (A, P, and E)  
🗑
__ site binds incoming aminoacyl-tRNA and specifies next AA to be added   A  
🗑
__ site is occupied by peptidyl-tRNA, this tRNA carries synthesized peptide   P  
🗑
__ site is occupied by empty tRNA as it is about to exit   E  
🗑
Energy used to attach AA to tRNA?   ATP  
🗑
Energy use for binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to A site and for translocation step?   GTP  
🗑
tRNA can recognize more than one codon for specific AA   – wobble hypothesis (Nontraditional base-pairing)  
🗑
Prokaryotic mRNAs often have several coding regions   - polycistronic  
🗑
Eukaryotic mRNA codes for only one polypeptide chain   – monocistronic  
🗑
Translation is divided into three separate steps:   initiation, elongation, and termination  
🗑
_________ involves the assembly of components of translation system   initiation  
🗑
___ codon at the beginning of message is recognized by initiator tRNA that enters __ site   AUG, "P"  
🗑
In ___________ and mitochondria, initiator tRNA carries N-formylated methionine   prokaryotes  
🗑
In ________ , Met in initiator tRNA is not formylated   eukaryotes  
🗑
binds to the 30S subunit,Interferes with initiation,Causes misreading of mRNA,Can cause permanent hearing loss   Streptomycin  
🗑
binds to 30S subunitInhibits binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to A site   Tetracycline  
🗑
Interferes with peptidyltransferase of 50S bacterial subunit   Chloramphenicol not used in humans  
🗑
Most protein synthesis occurs in ________ of eukaryotic cell   cytoplasm  
🗑
Nuclear proteins used for   nuclear localization signal  
🗑
Mitochondrial proteins used for   – mitochondria entry signal  
🗑
Use to regulate the rate of translation   Rare codons , binding of regulatory proteins ,Small interfering RNA can target mRNA for degradation  
🗑
Trimming of large inactive precursor proteins by specific proteases   postranlational modification  
🗑
Covalent alterations   postranlational modification  
🗑
Proteins that are defective or destined for rapid turnover are often marked by ________   ubiquitination  
🗑
Proteins marked by ubiquitin are rapidly degraded by ____________   proteosome  
🗑
