The Da Vinci Codons
100

This enzyme uses its own RNA to solve the end-replication problem

What is a telomerase?

100

This structure regulates nuclear export, promotes translation, and prevents degradation among other functions.

What is the mRNA cap?

100

Transcription initiation factor that promotes the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites in prokaryotes

What is Sigma factor?

100

This is the starting codon that sets the reading frame for the rest of the sequence 


What is AUG?

200

Using a process of flipping out, this process allows for a single base to be repaired in DNA

What is base excision repair?

200

U1 gets replaced by this during intron splicing.

What is U6?

200

I am the third and last step of mRNA transcription

What is polyadenylation?

200

The initiator tRNA has this amino acid bound to it

What is methionine?
300

These two things are released completely in front of the replication fork facilitated by FACT

What are histone dimers H2A-H2B?

300

The attachment of this chains to proteins is a universal signal for degradation by the proteasome

What is the Polyubiquitin chain

300

These are the sites where snRNPs and snoRNPs undergo maturation

What are Cajal bodies?
300

This elongation factor checks multiple things including the tRNA and amino acid match and that the codon and anticodon match

What is EF-Tu?

400

This hides telomeres from cell damage detectors

What is shelterin?

400

This tube-shaped protein has 3 subunits, two 19S cups that help with regulation and a 20S structure that breaks down proteins 

What is a proteosome?

400

5’ splice site, branch site, and 3’ splice site are essential elements for this type of sequence.

What is the RNA sequence?

400

This complex indicates that mRNA is complete so it can be moved to cytoplasm

What is the exon junction complex?

500

Eukaryotic DNA replication only takes place during this phase of the cell cycle

What is S phase?

500

Prokaryotic promoter with sequence TATAAT

-10 sequence element

500

Prokaryotic promoter with sequence TTGACA

-35 sequence element

500

These two things are the elongation factors in eukaryotes

What are EF1 and EF2?
