|
How do subunits of Ribosome bind?
|
initiation factors; small subunit binds mRNA and tRNA, large subunit then binds
|
|
Function of A site

|
First step of translation initiation
|
binding of shine- dalgarno sequence on 5' end of mRNA to 3' complementary strand of rRNA
|
|
Function of 5' cap (translation)
|
binding site of initiation factors; begins scanning for start codon of Kozak sequence
|
|
What causes termination of translation
|
when a stop codon enters the A site and release factor proteins lead to dissociation of ribosome
|
|
How do multiple sequences get translated at the same time?
|
Multiple ribosomes attach to each other to form polyribosome and simultaneously translate tRNA
|
|
Cell sorting of proteins
|
sorted by signalling related to n-terminal end
|
|
4 Stages of transcription
|
promoter recognition, initiation, chain elongation, chain termination
|
|
Rho dependent termination
|
Rho protein must bind to polymerase for it to fall off of mRNA
|
|
What is 5' capping
|
adding of methylated guanine
|
|
Origin of rRNA and tRNA
|
from cleavage of molecules transcribed in genomes
|
|
RNA editing
|
post-transcriptional changes to sequence leading to it being different from template strand

regulatory proteins bind to DNA to stop transcription
|
|
Lac operator: cis or trans
|
cis acting
|
|

|
How repressor prevents RNA pol binding
|
