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.

Why Some hypermorphic alleles encode overactive
proteins?

Expert Solution

Step 1

A mutation is any alteration in the sequence of DNA. It may be caused due to error in replication or by external agents like radiation or chemicals. Mutations may be reversible or permanent.

The HbβS(sickle-cell) allele of the human β-globingene changes the sixth amino acid in the β-globinchain from glutamic acid to valine. In HbβC, the sixthamino acid in β-globin is changed from glutamic acidto lysine. What would be the order of these two mutations within the map of the β-globin gene?
A mutation creates a dominant negative allele of a particular gene. The gene encodes a protein that forms a trimer within the cell. If one or more of the subunits has the mutant structure, the entire trimeric protein is inactive. In a heterozygous cell, if the proteins of both alleles are present at the same levels, what percent of the trimers present in the cell will be active? A) 100% B) 5% C) 50% D) 33% E) 5%

In McCune-Albright syndrome, fibrous connective tissue replaces bone, tan patches (café-au-lait spots) dot the skin, and hormone abnormalities cause early puberty and malfunction of the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands. The phenotype is highly variable, and all patients are somatic mosaics for the mutation, which is in the gene GNAS1. Why is the condition seen only in mosaics?
