Study Notes
Protein synthesis and Ribosomes
- Amino acid addition to proteins in ribosomes is done by synthetase enzymes, not synthase, transferase, or enolase.
- Ribosomes need SRP (signal recognition particle) and GTP to bind to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
- Transfer RNA (tRNA) is where amino acids are attached to by enzymes.
RNA Codon
- Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the codon.
- Translation decoding is performed by the ribosome's small subunit.
- The large subunit also functions in translation.
Initiation and Modification
- N-formylmethionine (fMet) is part of the initiator tRNA in prokaryotes.
- A charged tRNA has an amino acid attached to its 3' end.
- A charged tRNA isn’t positively or negatively charged, it's part of the structure of the molecule.
Mutations
- Mutations are heritable changes in genetic material.
- A mutation where a purine is changed to a pyrimidine is called a transversion.
- A change in one or more bases in a DNA sequence is a point mutation.
- A mutation where one or more nucleotides are deleted is called an indel or frameshift mutation
Sickle Cell Anemia
- Sickle cell anemia is an example of a point mutation.
- In sickle cell anemia, glutamate is changed to valine.
- Point mutations that result in a change to the amino acid sequence are called missense mutations.
Regulatory Proteins and DNA
- Regulatory proteins and a piece of DNA bind to DNA in the major groove.
- Metal ions, like zinc, are important components in some DNA-binding proteins.
Genetic Material and Transcriptions
- DNA is transcribed into RNA before being translated in proteins.
- miRNA and siRNA are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by causing cleavage or degradation of other RNA molecules.
Enhancers, Promoters, and Proteins
- Promoters bind to areas of DNA to form sites, they encourage the binding of RNA polymerase.
- Enhancers are regions of DNA that increase the transcription of a gene.
- DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic modification that affects gene expression by altering the structure of DNA.
Genetic Analyses
- PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a technique used to amplify DNA segments.
- Recombinant DNA technology involves combining DNA fragments from different sources.
- Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that makes cDNA (complementary DNA) from mRNA.
