Allows for non standard base pairing, U with A or G, G with C or U or I with UC OR A
Based on alternative hydrogen bonding
What enzyme charges a tRNA?
Amino acyl synthetase
Explain pre initiation of translation
the ribosome must find the Shine Delgaro (prok) or the Met cap and go to AUG (euk)
Explain translation initiation:
small subunit lines up with the AUG start tRNA P come in and binds to the AUG, large subunit attaches tRNA w/ a specificed aa enters the A site
Elongation:translation
Peptidyl transferase attaches the amino acid in the P site to the A site.
What enzyme forms the peptide bond?
Peptidyl transferase.
How does termination of translation occur?
The release factor binds one of the stop codons UAA UGA UAG and causes release of ribosome and therefore ends translation.

What does the P site on the ribosome do?
Contains the growing peptide chain
What does the A site on the ribosome do?

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary
-sequence, 2 alpha helix, 3, repeating of alpha helix, 4 dimers + tetramer
HS
messed up band 3 protein so no ankyrin binding to spectrin therefore the lipid bilayer not anchored (verticle) issue NO WHITE DOT IN THE MIDDLE
HE
cylindrical RBC, horizontal issue where it cannot form the heterodimer, mutations on the C end of beta and the N end of alpha spectrin, perturbs the deformability (can become HPP)
How do molecular chaperones function?
They can act in variety of ways, they can prevent folding until translation is complete, catalyze, and protect from environment.
How do HSPs work?
help fold by altering the polarity of the interior surface of the HSP, assist proper folding in 10% of proteins

GROES
DETACHABLE LID
Two types of polysomes
Cytoplasmic-makes proteins for cytoplasm
ER-targets porteins to subcellular compartments via sequence
Signal Recognition Particle
binds sequence on mRNA then is recognized by SRP receptor on ER and inserted into the membrane where translation will occur (allows proper folding)
Hemocrit
the % of volume of blood composed of erythrocytes
Myoglobin
binds O2 more tightly and does not display cooperative binding
Hemoglobin
Displays coop binding because one of the helices is affected by binding of the first oxygen changes comformation of the the other binding sites
What happens to porphyrin site when o2 binds

Anfinsen experiment-
shows that even if you get rid of teriary structure etc, denature, you can refold the same structure based on the primary sequence (shows that 1 sequence is important)
2,3 BPG
tri anion binds between subunits (can't really bind fetal hb) polyanion binds to his and lys side chains that stabilize the T format, (in fetal they lack acidic residues and therefore don't have the cations to bind this anion)
CO2-
carbamate favros salt bridge formation
Proton H (lower pH)
bohr effect, protons bind to the side chaisn and shift the quilibria to the T form
Temperature
increased temp shifts to the right, people are now flushed (not blue)
What is the difference between cooperativity and Allosterism
Cooperativity = homotropic effector makes curve sigmoidal, allosteric, heterotropic long distance binding makes curve shift left/right

What is the significance of a mutation in the atp binding part (ploop) of the kinase?
Worse prognosis in CML because gleevec can not competitively inhibit that site. (atp agonist)
PTP
protein tyrosine phosphatases, have a CYs that forms a cleavable enzyme phosphate complex which is hydrolyzed to reform the enzyme and phosphate
PP
protein phosphatases-contain a dinuclear metal ion which may activate a water molecule that hydrolyzes
DSPTSP-dual whatever
they have big enough active sites to accommodate all the different side chains
What is the role of kinase control in biological processes such as cancer?
HER2 receptors are tyrosine kinase receptors implicated in cancer, they are overproduces and therefore more likely to idmerize and cause uncontrolled growoth

An example of proteolytic regulation:
digestion-eg trypsin activates chymotrypsin and starts a cascade, gets messed up by smoking because a meth binding site is oxidized and you end up with too much elactase that digests your aveolis
Pegylation
addition of polyethylene glycol PEg increases enzyme or peptide duration makes something more resistant to proteolytic regulation, some drugs use this
Phosphorylation-
more than 30% of enzymes are regulated by this, insulin receptor, covalent tightly regulated amplifiable, common target is serine
Homotropic
substrate is its own regulatory ie o2,
Concerted versus sequential
does it go from tense to relaxed all at once or does it change subunit by subunit
Heterotropic
different compounds ie H+ changes in reference to altitude-, you make more 2-3 bpg at a high altitude
Isomeric-
one binding site -nice hyperbolic curve
Oligomeric
When hill is not 1 there is cooperativity, n = hill coefficient, allosteric effects

What is a signal sequence, SRP, and SRP receptor and how do they affect translation?
* Signal Sequence- present on most polypeptides targeted for membrane or secretion. Targets it to ER for translation and folding
* Signal Recognition Particle (SRP)- free floating protein that recognizes the signal sequence on a newly formed protein.

SRP receptor- docking protein on the ER recognizes and bind the complex.

* The polypeptide with the sequence is inserted through a hydrophobic pore in the ER membrane (translocon)
* A signal peptidase usually removes the signal sequence (once inside the ER)
* Once synthesis of the protein is complete, the protein is delivered to its cellular location.
How does protein know where to go?
20 AA signal sequence (post translational mod?) on the newly forming protein
What happens to protein before it leaves the ER? (two things)
It is glycosylated and put in a vesicle
What is the affect of acetylation on charge of a protein
it neutralizes the charge of the amine group
