Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.

8. You are studying the biochemical pathway of purrine production. (Purrines are a type of nucleotide used in feline DNA, a little different than the purines in the DNA of lower species like humans.) You have several mutants that cannot make purrine, and you do complementation tests to see how many different genes you've identified. Here are your data: mutant 1 4 6 8 1 3 4 5 + 6 + + + 8. + + 9 + a) What is the deal with mutant #1 and why must you ignore it when figuring out complementation groups? b) For the rest of the problem, ignore mutant #1.

. Early in development, most human cells turn off expression of an essential component of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for addition of telomere repeat sequences (5’-TTAGGG) to the ends of chromosomes. Thus, as our cells proliferate their telomeres get shorter and shorter, but are normally not lost over the course of a lifetime. If cells are removed from the body and grown in culture, however they ultimately enter a state of replicative senescence and stop dividing when their telomeres get too short. By contrast, most human tumor cells express active telomerase, allowing them to maintain their telomeres and grow beyond the normal limit imposed by senescence - good for them, bad for us. Anticipating a universal cure for cancer, you set up a company to screen chemical ‘libraries’ for telomerase inhibitors. The company share price takes a dive, however, when a rival group generates a strain of telomerase-knockout mice. These mice breed happily for several generations, but…
