Term
| What happens in the nucleolus? |
|
Definition
| Genes that encode rRNAs make the small and large ribosomal complexes. |
|
|
Term
| Where is the genetic code most degenerate? |
|
Definition
| In the third position (the 3' end). |
|
|
Term
| What enzyme must recognize the genetic code? |
|
Definition
| Amino-acyl tRNA synthetase. They add one amino acid to a tRNA. |
|
|
Term
| What happens if eIF-2 is phosphorylated? |
|
Definition
| Translation is slowed down. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It helps the first Met tRNA get into the p site on the large ribosomal subunit. It also encourages the use of the first AUG. Polio destroyed eIF-2 and caused internal translation. |
|
|
Term
| What is EF-Tu-GTP involved in? |
|
Definition
| It tests the fit of the codon with the A site. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It is a transcriptional release factor and a g-protein that hydrolyzes GTP. |
|
|
Term
| What happens after the SRP:ribosome:mRNA complex docks with the receptor on the ER? |
|
Definition
| An exchange of GDP for GTP, and release of SRP. The peptide then travels down a pore and pushes into the ER where it is "born." |
