Protein Synthesis

Horizontales
I am the process that uses the encoded information in RNA to assemble a protein in the cytoplasm
I am a three-base sequence in RNA that specifies one amino acid
I am the class of RNA molecules that specifies the amino acid sequence of a protein and carries this message from DNA to the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm
I am the certain regions of a primary RNA transcript that encode sequences of amino acids
I am synthesized in the nucleus then move to the cytoplasm. I help function in protein synthesis by being able to combine with both a specific amino acid and a codon in ribosome-bound mRNA specific for that amino acid
I am the enzyme that creates a primary RNA transcript (pre-mRNA) by combining base pairings with the template strand of DNA containing a single gene
I am the 2nd stage in protein assembly where a protein chain is elongated by the successive addition of amino acids. Once a new peptide bond is formed, the tRNA at site 1 is released from the ribosome, and the tRNA at site 2—now linked to the peptide chain—is transferred to site 1. The ribosome moves down one codon along the mRNA, making room for the binding of the next amino acid–tRNA molecule. This process is repeated over and over as amino acids are added to the growing peptide chain
I am the 1st stage in protein assembly where a tRNA containing the amino acid methionine binds to a small ribosomal unit. I require initiation factors (number of proteins) to position the methionine-containing tRNA opposite of the mRNA codon that signals the start site at which protein assembly is to begin. The large ribosomal subunit then binds, enclosing the mRNA between the two subunits
I am a class of proteins that act as gene switches, regulating the transcription of most genes. I interact in a variety of ways to activate or repress the initiation process that takes place at the promoter region of a particular gene
Verticales
I am a sequence of DNA nucleotides containing the information that specifies the amino acid sequence of a single polypeptide chain
I identify specific nucleotide sequences at the beginning and end of each intron-derived segment in the primary RNA transcript, I remove the segment, and splice the end of one exon-derived segment to the beginning of another to form mRNA with a continuous coding sequence
I am the process the process of transferring genetic information from DNA to RNA in the nucleus
I am a molecule that consists of two chains of nucleotides coiled around each other to form a double helix
I am the site where RNA polymerase binds to DNA and directs RNA polymerase to proceed in one direction
I am the non coding nucleotide segments of primary RNA
I am the last stage in protein assembly where a ribosome reaches a termination sequence in mRNA (called a stop codon) specifying the end of the protein, the link between the polypeptide chain and the last tRNA is broken, and the completed protein is released from the ribosome
I am a 3 nucleotide sequence at the end of one of the loops of tRNA and can base pair with a complementary codon
