You plan to synthesize a peptide to be used as a vaccine to treat melanoma, a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer. Normally, gp100, a protein on the surface of melanocytes, activates cell growth when it is bound by its ligand. Activation of the growth pathway depends on the presence of threonine in the ligand. The effective peptide vaccine will mimic the natural ligand, but won’t cause cell growth and division. Below is the sequence of the natural ligand: LDMKTAG In order to ensure your newly designed peptide vaccine does not cause cell growth upon binding, you must substitute the Threonine residue at position 5. What amino acid would you replace it with, bearing in mind that the peptide should still be similar enough to bind to the gp100 protein in the surface of melanocytes. Explain your choice. Your vaccine will be administered as a topical cream, and you require your peptide to have an overall neutral charge in order to be functional. At what pH should you formulate…
RNA polymerases generally require a primer to begin transcription. (T) (F) The Death Cap Mushroom Amanita phalloides is toxic because of its ability to produce alpha-amanitin, which is an inhibitor of RNA Polymerases I and III. (T) (F) In bacteria, transcription and translation can occur simultaneously. (T) (F) In eukaryotes, transcription and translation can occur simultaneously (T) (F) RNA polymerase II has no form of proofreading activity. (T) (F) Sigma factors specify binding of bacterial RNA Polymerases to specific promoters (T) (F) An E. coli strain with mutations in genes encoding both the dam methylase and the RecA protein would likely be inviable (dead) (T) (F) An E. coli culture grown in a pure (100%) N2 atmosphere would likely have a lower rate of mutations than a culture grown under normal conditions (~30% O2 and 70% N2) (T) (F) Non-homologous end joining repairs double strand DNA breaks with no loss of information, restoring the original…
In what way is ribozymal activity essential to modem life, based on our coverage? It catalyzes folding of each tRNA. It catalyzes pyrophosphate hydrolysis. It catalyzes peptide bond formation. It catalyzes hydrolysis of the fully-translated polypeptide from the final RNA. It catalyzes charging of each tRNA.
Which of the following among A-Cis not needed for bacterial transcription Y A) O core RNA polymerase function B) Oa promoter C) O signma factor D) OA-C are all required for transcription
In E. Coli, β ans β' are subunits that clamps on to the DNA strand whereas σ is directly involved with finding and binding to promotor and initiation sequences. true or false The σ subunits (1-4) are associated with channels in β and β'. true or false
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the action of the enzyme RNA polymerase?Select one 1.) RNA polymerase will transcribe only the exons by skipping over the introns within a eukaryotic gene sequence 2.) RNA polymerase will transcribe both DNA strands, moving in the 3' to 5' direction for one strand and 5' to 3' on the other 3.) RNA polymerase will transcribe both DNA strands, but only one RNA molecule will be used during translation 4.)None of the statements accurately describe the function of RNA polymerase
When would a ribosome bind to a promoter sequence? A) It wouldn't. A promoter is a DNA sequence, and ribosomes don't bind to DNA. B) When the ribosome needs to transcribe the gene that that promoter controls. C) When the ribosome is translating the DNA sequence of a gene. D) When there is a start codon (AUG) in the promoter sequence. .
The structure of a prodrug used for treating people with HIV virus (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS is shown below. This molecule is a precursor of a protease inhibitor that competitively inhibits HIV protease due to its resemblance to the proteolytic site of the enzyme. Which process in the viral life cycle does this inhibitor target directly ? Group of answer choices a. viral protein processing for making new viruses b. viral mRNA synthesis c. viral DNA integration into the host cell DNA d. viral DNA synthesis
