Complete list of Terms and Definitions for Biochem - DNA Synthesis and Repair

Terms Definitions
what are E.coli DNA Pol II, IV, and V used for? DNA repair
how is the processivity of E.coli DNA Pol III? fast, high replication rate and processivity
which cells lack telomerase? human somatic cells(germ and early embryonic are constantly dividing)
who does the proofreading (3'-5' exonuclease) in prokaryotes? Pol I and Pol III
what does UvrA do? Damage sensingUvrB loadinghelicase subunitFunctional motifs:ATP binding, zinc fingers, helix-turn-helix
when does the DnaA tetramer get displaced? after helicase (DnaB), SSB, and primase (DnaG) bind to DNA
when does termination of DNA synth in prok occur? when replication forks meet at TER SEQUENCE repeatsproteins bind and arrest forks by inhibition of DnaB
describe the E.coli methyl-directed mismatch repair system of Base Nucleotide Excision Repair in prokaryotes 1. parent strand w/ GATC seq is recognized2. methyl grp added to A by DAM (DNA adenine methylation) methylase3. Mut proteins recognize and repair mismatch of UNDER-METHYLATED (new) strand
can prokaryotic DNA polyermases initiate DNA synthesis? NOneeds DnaG in primosome to create RNA primers
describe the E.coli UVR system in bacterial nucleotide excision repair 1. recognizes pyrimidine dimers and other bulky lesions (drugs) 2. uses EXInuclease (both endo and exo) - dual cut that requires ATP
what happens when you deaminate cytosine? uracil
what are the components of the replisome? DNA Pol IIItopoisomeraseswith help from:DNA Pol I and DNA Ligase
what is Hutchinson-Guilford Progeria? premature aging w/ short telomeres
what are the subunits of the UVR endonuclease protein? UvrA, UvrB, UvrCw/ help from UvrD, DNA Pol, and DNA ligase
what DNA polymerase does E.coli use? Pol I Pol IIIPol II, Pol IV, and Pol V as well for DNA repair
what are the steps of the E.coli UVR system in bacterial nucleotide excision repair? 1. UvrA recognizes damage, then recruits UvrB2. Helicase of UvrAB unwinds DNA;3. UvrA dissociates and UvrC associates, activating exinuclease4. UvrD displaces fragment; DNA Pol and DNA ligase resynthesizes damaged strand
what drives DNA synthesis? hydrolysis of pyrophosphate by pyrophosphatases (PPi -> 2Pi) drives DNA synthesis forward
which of the DNA polyermases in euk have 3'-5' exonuclease activity? delta, epsilon, and gamma
why do you need DNA repair? DNA Pol "proofreading" is not perfectspontaneous damage (i.e. depurination)agents (UV, oxygen radicals, alkylating agents that methylate, depurination, deamination, intercalating agents)
what does the primosome do? initiates DNA synthesis in PROKARYOTESunwinding, stabilizing ssDNA, and initial synthesis of RNA primers
what is Xeroderma Pigmentosum? UV induced thymine dimer repairdefect in any of 7 proteins (XPA-XPG)
What are the Mut proteins used in E.coli methyl-directed mismatch repair? MutS - recognizes and binds damaged DNAMutL - joins and promotes loop structure; also endonucleaseMutH - recruited to recognize GATC (methylated) sites and strand specificity; endonuclease and exonuc removes NMPs
what does UvrC do? damage specific nucleasefunctional motif:5' nuclease
is E.coli DNA Pol III monomeric or heteromeric? heteromeric
what happens when you deaminate guanine? xanthine
what is an example of bacterial base excision repair? E.coli DNA glycosylase-requiring repair system
what does DNA Pol III do? it is recruited to the primosome and REQUIRED for elongationelongates RNA primer; processive
what are the polyermases used in DNA synthesis of eukaryotes? alpha (initiation)beta (initiation)delta (elongation)epsilon (repair)gamma (mit replication)
what is E.coli DNA Pol III used for? Pol III is used for replication5'-3' elongation3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading)NO PRIMER REMOVAL
what does processivity mean? staying on the strand and going a long distance
what are the steps in E.coli DNA glycosylase-requiring repair system? 1. damaged base is cleaved from deoxyribose by a DNA glycosylase enzyme2. apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) deoxyribose is released by AP endonuclease and AP exonuclease (removes sugar-phosphate)3. gap filled and nick sealed by ligasethere are a NUMBER of enzymes, each w/ SPECIFICITY for specific damaged base
what are telomeres? non-encoding sequences at end of linear chromosomeshundreds of tandem repeats (TTAGGG in vertebrates)
what do topoisomerases do? remove supercoils
who does the eukaryotic primer removal (5'-3' exonuc)? RNase H and Fen 1NOT by a polyermase (diff from prok!)
what do fluoroquinolones do? they are bacteriacidal drugs that inhibit gyrase (a topoisomerase) in prokaryotesi.e. cypro
what happens when you deaminate adenine? hypoxanthine
what does ionizing radiation cause? double stranded break
