where at the 3 places that alkylating agents damage DNA?
1) N&O atoms external to base ring
2) N atoms on base ring except when linked to deoxyribose
3) non-bridging oxygen atoms in Phosphate groups
when metabolically activated, ____ damages DNA
PAH
benzo[a]pyrene obtains an epoxide by the enzyme
cytochrome P450
the epoxide in benzo[a]pyrene opens by the enzyme
epoxide hydrolase
what is a lesion?
what is a mutation?
site of DNA damage
permanent base change
what causes mutations?
mutagens
what causes cancer in higher animals?
carcinogens
a direct reversal of DNA damage is the enzyme ___ and reverses the damage of ___. its 2 domains are __ and __
photolyase
CPD
FADH-
MTHF
Name the 4 enzymes in BER and describe their sequential reactions which result in the repair of mutaiton
1) DNA glycosylase - cleaves N-glycosidic bond of damaged base, creating an AP site
2) AP endonuclease - nicks one side of AP site, creating a template where DNA polymerase I can enter
3) DNA polymerase I - polymerases through AP site using the other strand as a template
4) DNA ligase - ligases the nick
Name 3 E.coli genes and 3 enzymes in NER and describe their reactions
1) uvrA - recognizes the damage site
2) uvrB - is the nucleotide excision repair. it attaches to ATPase and works with uvrA to bind to DNA. then uvrA leaves to make a stable uvrB-DNA complex
3) uvrC - binds to uvrB-DNA complex and make incisions of both side of the lesion
4) uvrD (helicase) - removes oligonucleotide
5) DNA pol 1 replaces DNA
6) DNA ligase ligases the nick
Name the 3 proteins and 3 enzymes in mismatch repair and describe their function
1) mutS and mutL recognize and binds to mismatch and recruits MutH. they pull DNA through until MutH hits methylated site
4) exonuclease cleaves up to the mismatch
5) pol 3 fills in DNA
6) DNA ligase ligates the nick
what are the 3 polymerase of translesio DNA synthesis, and what do they do?
pol 4 and 5 synthesize DNA through the lesion, giving them a low fidelity, and pol 2 restarts replication after the lesion bypass is complete.
which polymerase makes the most error? which polymerase can cause skin cancer?
iota
eta
what are 3 differences in RNA than DNA?
1) C2 has a hydroxyl in RNA rather than hydrogen in DNA
2) A binds with U in RNA rather than T in DNA
3) RNA does not need a primer
As RNA polymerase goes downstream, the strands are underwinding/rewinding?
underwinding
to find out where polymerase is binding, you use the technique called
foot printing
what recognizes the promoter?
sigma factor recognizes promoter by binding to polymerase
what about holoenzyme?
what are the consensus sequences in sigma70?
-10 (TATA box) TATAAT
-35 TTGACA
how many bp does the transcription bubble open in RNA synthesis? from what point to what point?
14bp
-12 to +2
what are the 2 steps that happen in termination of RNA synthesis? what happens?
1) intrinsic termination pathway - signals termination when hairpin of GC rich is attached to 8-10 bases of uridine
2) Rho factor: 6 subunits that release RNA from RNA-DNA hybrid
what are the 3 steps in converting primary transcript to a mature RNA?
1) add 5'cap
2) slice out introns
3) add poly-A tail
what are 2 mechanisms for removing introns?
1) guanosine attacks phosphodiester bond (self splicing)
