Denning [Date] [Course title]

,Pyrimidine - Answer: One carbon ring

Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil



What is the function of mRNA? - Answer: Carries genetic info out of nucleus

Transcript translated to protein



What is the function of tRNA? - Answer: Carries aa to ribosome

Anticodon pairs with codon on mRNA strand



What is the function of rRNA? - Answer: part of ribosome structure

most abundant RNA

coordinated coupling of tRNA to mRNA codons



Feedback inhibition - Answer: Product of pathway is noncompetitive inhibitor

Binds to allosteric site to slow down rxn b/c too much product



Endonucleases (Prok) - Answer: Restriction enzymes

Cleaves phoshpodiester bonds w/i poly-nt chain

Recognition site is palindromic sequence

Types I-V



ORI sites - Answer: nt sequence where replication is initiated



Topoisomerase I - Answer: Induces ss breaks

Remove DNA supercoils during TXN and DNA replication; for strand breakage during recombination; for
chr condensation; and to disentangle intertwined DNA during mitosis



topoisomerase II - Answer: cuts both strands of one DNA double helix, passes another unbroken DNA
helix through it, and then reanneals the cut strands

,Gyrase (topoisomerase II) - Answer: Unwinds supercoiling caused by unwinding at the rep fork by
introducing DSBs



Helicase - Answer: Breaks H-bonds of double helix at the replication fork



single-strand DNA binding proteins (SSBPs) - Answer: Binds ssDNA and prevents it from re-annealing
during TXN, replication, repair, and recombination



Telomeres - Answer: Repeat sequence (TTAGGG) at the ends of chr, protect chr from degradation



RNA polymerase - Answer: DNA dependent RNApol

Transcribes DNA template to RNA (3'-->5'; anti-parallel)



Splicesomes - Answer: Complex of snRNPs

Removes introns from pre-mRNA and splices exons together



Enhancers - Answer: Short regions of DNA that bind proteins (TXN factors) that enhance TXN of a gene



Reverse transcriptase - Answer: enzyme that transcribes RNA to cDNA (lacks introns)

RNA --> RNA:DNA --> cDNA (dsDNA)



Open Reading Frame (ORF) - Answer: sections of DNA that begin with start codons and end with stop
codons

DNA: 5' --> 3'

transcription: 3' --> 5' DNA --> RNA (promoter)

translation: 5' --> 3' mRNA



Spectrophotometer - Answer: Measures amount of light absorbed

Quantitative measurement of [DNA/RNA]

, At what wavelength does DNA and RNA absorb? - Answer: 260 nm



At what wavelength does protein absorb? - Answer: 280 nm



Organic isolation method - Answer: 1. Lyse

2. Add phenol/ chloroform > vortex/spin

3. Transfer aqueous layer (top) to new tube

4. Add chloroform:IAA (removes phenol) > vortex/spin

5. Transfer aqueous layer to new tube

6. Add NaOAc and EtOH > vortex/spin

7. Decant

8. Resuspend



What does the incubation step in hybridization do? - Answer: Allows formation of ds molecules



Formamide acts as a __________ in a hybridization. - Answer: denaturing agent



Line Probe Assay (LiPA) - Answer: reverse hybridization assay using sequence-specific oligonucleotide
probes (reverse SSOP)

multi-parameter testing --> single strip



Single-Stranded Conformational Polymorphism Ananlysis (SSCP) - Answer: Used for known gene,
unknown mut

Mutation screening

Short PCR products form 3D conformation when cooled --> muts have different conformation than WT

Non-denaturing PAGE, muts migrate different than WT



How does EtBr cause DNA to fluoresce? - Answer: Intercalates into the double helix
