Capsid
|
protein shell that gives the virus particle strong structure; contains other proteins for attachment/recepting
|
|
nucleocapsid
|
the capsid and associated genome
|
|
reverse transcriptase
|
catalyze the formation of polynucleotides of DNA or RNA using an existing strand of DNA or RNA as template
|
|
enveloped viruses
|
additional lipid bilayer membrane wrapped around the capsid of the virus particle; host membrane is stolen as new viruses bud off
|
|
Naked viruses
|
do not contain an envelope
|
|
viron or virus particle
|
the genome, the capsid and the envelope
|
|
where DNA replication and RNA transcription occur
|
the nucleus
|
|
where processed mRNAs exit the nucleus and are translated
|
cytoplasm
|
|
Okazaki fragments
|
segment of DNA resulting from discontinuous DNA replication
|
|
RNA Polymerase I
|
synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
|
|
RNA Polymerase II
|
synthesizes pre-messenger RNA (tRNA)
binds transcription complex in promoter region of DNA initiates synthesis (w/o primer) copies/reads 3 to 5 and synth 5 to 3 synthesizes and processes RNA in nucleus of cell error prone no proofreading recruited by transcription factors |
|
RNA Polymerase III
|
synthesizes transfer RNA (tRNA)
|
|
Transcription Factors
|
AT-rich region of the promoter binds cellular proteins that facilitates the binding of RNA polymerase II and determines the starting point of transcription
|
|
Enhancers
|
DNA elements located outside the promoter region that stimulate the frequency of transcription by RNA polymerase II
|
|
Translation
|
decoding of mRNA into a protein
-initiation -elongation -termination |
