Bio Term cytotoxic T lymphocyte (Tc) is T lymphocyte responsible for attacking cancerous host cells or cells infected with an invading bacterium or virus.Bio Term Polycistronic is An mRNA that encodes several discrete gene products.
Bio Term Chi site is An 8-nucleotide DNA sequence (5 GCTGGTGG 3) which is a hot-spot for homologous recombination. When the RecBCD exonuclease encounters a chi site the RecD subunit is released and the RecBC complex then functions as a helicase, unwinding the DNA and providing single stranded which can invade a homologous region of double-stranded DNA. Chi sites typically occur about once every 5 kb on the chromosomes of enteric bacteria and most are oriented in the same direction as DNA replication.
Bio Term Shine-Delgarno hypothesis is A proposal that prokaryotic mRNA is aligned at the ribosome by complementarity between the mRNA upstream from the initiation codon and the 3 end of the 16S rRNA.
