Topic 4
This complex recognizes histone modifications.
What is a reader protein complex?
This specific type of mutation changes the cytosine base into uracil.
What is a deamination?
The phosphodiester bonds shared between nucleotides can thank this famous enzyme for their catalysis
What is RNA Polymerase
The term that describes the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA, allowing for the synthesis of a continuous polypeptide chain.
What is translocation?
This protein binds and removes heterochromatin-specific marks.
What is a reader-eraser protein?
This is a joint structure that is a result of during DNA replication of two helices pairing together.
What is the heteroduplex joint?
The presence of a methyl group doesn’t affect the ability of adenosine to bind to this RNA nucleotide
What is Uracil
Transfer RNAs possess a specific sequence recognition which allows them to recognize and pair with complementary sequences on this type of RNA molecule.
What is Anticodon / Anticodon Recognition?
This eliminates individuals carrying mutations that interfere with important genetic functions.
What is purifying selection?
These are small sequences of DNA that are found linked together after being synthesized by the enzyme DNA ligase to form the lagging strand.
What are Okazaki Fragments?
This key protein binds to the promoter and positions RNA Polymerase, starting transcription
What is Sigma Factor
The cellular mechanism is responsible for degrading damaged or misfolded proteins.
What is the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System?
Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary antiparallel strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between A-T and these other two base pairings.
What are G-C base pairs?
This holds the DNA polymerase on the DNA.
What is the sliding clamp?
The helical tension that builds during transcription is relieved by this enzyme family
What are Topoisomerases
This term describes transfer RNAs that have been loaded with their corresponding amino acids.
What are Charged tRNAs?
This is a nucleotide sequence in a DNA molecule that acts as a functional unit for the production of a protein, a structural RNA, or a regulatory RNA molecule.
What is a gene?
These proteins bind to the ssDNA produced by helicases.
What are SSB proteins?
This prokaryote specific term explains why mRNA can produce more than one protein
What is Polycistronic
This organelle is involved in the synthesis and modification of proteins. Also known as the “protein synthesis factory”
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
