Transcription is read and grows from what end

reads from 5' end

grows from 3' end


100

whats the nuclear lamina

network of fibrous protein 


mash of protein in nuclear envelope

100

what are the charges in histone residues

basic

lys and arg


see slide 40 on chp 10

100

list atleast 4 things that happen to proteins in the ER


You after getting this question right!!!

subunit assembly

disulfide bond formation

cleavage of the signal peptide by signal peptidase

glycosylation by oligosaccharyl transferase

and many more.... see slide 16 on chp 11

100

what are you going to make on this exam?

100!

200

What unwinds DNA

Helicase

200

Diseases associated with disordered nuclear lamina are called what

laminopathy

200

Euchromatin vs Heterochromatin

Euchromatin: loosely packed and transcriptionally active form of chromatin

Heterochromatin: tightly packed, dense form of chromatin that is transcriptionally inactve.

200

Explain the pulse-chase experiment

see cp11 slide 6

200

size of nucleosome filament diameter in nm

10nm

300

list the three modifications on mrna

5' cap

poly A tail

splicing of exons and removal of intros

300

Dysfunctional Emerin causes what

Muscle dystrophy

300

Full name form of NAD LAD TAD

NAD: Nucleolar-associated domain

LAD: Lamina-associated domain

TAD: Topologically active domain

see slide 36 on chp 10 slides

300

6 parts of the endomembrane system

endoplasmic reticulum

golgi complex

endosomes

lysosomes

vacuoles

cell membrane

300
What are nuclear localization signals

proteins with nuclear localization signals can pass through the pore and into the nucleus 

400

Transition

Transversion

Insertion

Deletion

Transition: one base get mistaken for another base in the same class (A-->G) (C-->T)

Transversion: going between the classes (A--->T)

Insertion: extra base is added

Deletion: base is deleted

400

Define these terms

Chromosomes

Nucleoli

Nucleoplasm

Nuclear envelope

- Chromosomes: Thread-like structures made of DNA and proteins that contain genetic information (genes).

- Nucleoli (singular: nucleolus): Structures inside the nucleus that produce ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assemble ribosomal subunits.

- Nucleoplasm: The gel-like fluid inside the nucleus that surrounds and supports the chromosomes and nucleoli.

- Nuclear envelope: A double membrane that surrounds the nucleus, separates it from the cytoplasm, and contains nuclear pores that regulate what enters and leaves the nucleus.

400

4 stages of mitosis and explain what happens

prophase

metaphase

anaphase

telophase

400
List these four facts about I cell disease


Deficient in which enzyme 

Results in what in the blood


What two things are delayed?

Lifespan?

- Deficient enzyme in Golgi that tags lysosomal enzymes with mannose 6 phosphate
– Results in high lysosomal enzymes in blood
– Skeletal development and motor skills delayed
– Maximum lifespan of 7 years

400

Explain the end replication problem

both ends get shorter(3' still longer tho)


so telomerase makes 3' longer so replication will make 5' longer

500

List four antibiotics that attack prokaryotic subunit they attack 

Streptomycin: blocks the initiation of translation and causes the misreading of mRNA (30s)

Tetracyclines: inhibit binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs (30s)

Erythromycin: prevents the continuation of protein synthesis

Chloramphenicol: prevents peptide bonds from being formed (inhibits peptidyl transferase activity) 50s

500

List 8 steps of the protein import cycle

Protein with NLS + Importin
• Binds to cytoplasmic filament
• Translocation through pore
• Ran/GTP binds to and disrupts complex
• Protein with NLS released
• Importin + Ran/GTP exported
• Ran GAP hydrolyzes GTP to GDP
• Ran/GDP is transported back into nucleus
and acted on by Ran-GEF

500

what is the name of this character


Light Yagami!

500

List the three enzymes

E1: Ub activating enzyme

E2: Ub conjugating enzyme

E3: Ub ligase


see ch11 page 29

500

function of speckle (an example of nuclear body)
