chapter 16
16.2
DNA replication
DNA is split, once the base pairs are exposed, an enzyme can read it and put together the corresponding pairs (A to T, G to C)
-
-
-
telomeres, protective ends of DNA, replicatiin of code, stops it from unraveling like an aglet
-
16.3
packaging
histones, proteins that pack DNA in chromatin
Nucleosomes, small wads of histones wound in DNA, connected by "linkage" DNA
-
-
chromosomes
-
eurchomatin, less compacted, able to be transcribed by a cell
chapter 17
17.4
translation of RNA
tRNA (transfer RNA), transfers aminos to a polypeptide from the cytoplasm
tRNA has a specific amino on one end and has a nucleotide triplet at the other, allowing for the formation of a 3D shape by folding back on itself
-
anticodon, runs 3 to 5 to pair up with the antiparallel strand (like DNA)
-
aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, site of enzymes that matches tRNA with its specific amino
ribosomes
Ribosomes facilitate the specific coupling of tRNA anticodons
with mRNA codons during protein synthesis.
-
binding sites
site P , holds the tRNA carrying the growing
polypeptide chain
site A, holds the tRNA carrying the next amino acid to be
added to the chain
-
polypeptide
elongation
amino acids are added to the c-terminus site, which requires several elongation factor proteins
-
-
-
initiation
codon initiates start, establishing reading frame for mRNA
-
a subunit then binds to the 5 cap of the mRNA and moves down stream scanning and finds the start codon
-
-
-
17.3
RNA is modified
-
the 3 side gets a cap of adenine, making a poly A tail
this protects the mRNA, it helps it not degrade as much over time, it aids in the export of mature mRNA, and it helps ribosomes attach to the 5 side once in the nucleus
RNA splicing
the sequence of DNA nucleotides that codes for a eukaryotic polypeptide is usually not continuous; it is split into seegmets
-
the coding sections are called exons, they are expressed and eventually turn into aminos
spliceosome "edits" out the noncoding regions to create mRNA so it can be a continuous strand of code
rybozymes, RNA molecules that act as enzymes in RNA splicing
-
-
-
17.2
transcription
enzymes
RNA polymerase, pries the strand apart and integrates itself with the DNA based on its code direction, 5 to 3
-
RNA transcription
polymere binding
-
transcription factors mediate the binding ensuring it is the correct promoter, then RNA polymerease can bind properly
-
-
elongation of RNA
RNA polymerase moves along the strand and unwinds the DNA while the RNA connects to the exposed basepairs
