Chapter 29, Problem 1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The activated intermediate present in the linkage of the enzymes, DNA polymerase I, DNA ligase and topoisomerase I are to be stated. The leaving groups present in the enzymes are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is a biological macromolecule. DNA contains double helical strands along with the complementary base pairs. The four complementary bases of DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). In the formation of recombinant DNA, the restriction enzymes are involved to cut the particular region in the DNA molecule.

Answer to Problem 1P

The activating intermediate present in the linkage of the enzymes, DNA polymerase I, DNA ligase and topoisomerase I are deoxynucleotide triphosphate, DNA adenylate and DNA-tyrosyl intermediate respectively. The leaving groups present in the enzymes, DNA polymerase I, DNA ligase and topoisomerase I are pyrophosphate, AMP and DNA- tyrosine residue respectively.

Explanation of Solution

It is given that the enzymes, DNA polymerase I, DNA ligase and topoisomerase I help in catalyzing the formation of phosphodiaster bonds.

The activated intermediate present in case of DNA polymerase I is deoxynucleotide triphosphate and the leaving group present in this enzyme is pyrophosphate.

The activated intermediate present in case of DNA ligase is DNA adenylate, in which AMP is attached to 5' phosphate and the leaving group present in this enzyme is adenosine monophosphate(AMP).

The activated intermediate present in case of topoisomerase I is DNA-tyrosyl intermediate, in which 5' phosphate is attached to phenolic OH group and the leaving group present in this enzyme is the tyrosine residue.

Conclusion

The activating intermediate present in the linkage of the given enzymes are deoxynucleotide triphosphate, DNA adenylate and DNA-tyrosyl intermediate respectively. The leaving groups present in the enzymes are pyrophosphate, AMP and DNA- tyrosine residue respectively.

True or False. Topoisomerase I does not require ATP to break and rejoin DNA strands because the energy of the phospho-diester bond is stored transiently in a phospho-tyrosine linkage in the enzyme’s active site. Explain your answer in 2-3 sentences.
Polymerase inhibition. Cordycepin inhibits poly(A) synthesis at low concentrations and RNA synthesis at higher concentrations. NH2 H. он Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine) a. What is the basis of inhibition by cordycepin? b. Why is poly(A) synthesis more sensitive than the synthesis of other RNAS to the presence of cordycepin? c. Does cordycepin need to be modified to exert its effect?
True or False. Just write T if it is true and F if it is false.   In E. coli both RNA and protein synthesis take place in the cytoplasm. Okazaki fragments are ssDNA CHAINS OF 100-200 nucleotides long, primed by very short RNA primers in bacteria. In eukaryotic gene, the coding sequences are known as introns while the intervening sequences are the exons. The central dogma refers to the fact that proteins are products of information encoded in RNA using a DNA intermediate. The ends of the linear chromosomes are maintained by telomerase to prevent it from shortening during mitosis. The Shine Delgarno sequence is where the RNA pol binds during transcription in prokaryotes The sigma subunit of the E. coli RNA polymerase confers specificity to transcription. Both DNA replication and transcription follow a 5’ to 3’ direction of polarity. Nucleosomes are the structural unit of chromatin. In the lagging strand, the enzyme X removes RNA primers attached by PRIMASE and this gap is then filled…
