You have discovered a novel protein that has a pl = 5.5. To study the functional properties of this new protein your research group has made a mutant that contains two amino acid changes-namely, a surface Phe residue in the normal protein has been replace by His (side chain pk, = 6.1), and a surface Gln has been replace by Glu (side chain pk = 6.0). The pl of the %3D mutant protein is predicted to be: A. Greater than the pl of the normal protein.

The DNA-binding domain of each CREB protein subunit recognizes the sequence 5′–TGACGTCA–3′. Due to random chance, how often would you expect this sequence to occur in the human genome, which contains approximately 3 billion base pairs? Actually, only a few doze genes are activated by the CREB protein. Does the value of a few dozen agree with the number of random occurrences expected in the human genome? If the number of random occurrences of the sequence in the human genome is much higher than a few dozen, provide at least one explanation why the CREB protein is not activating more than a few dozen gene Actually, only a few doze genes are activated by the CREB protein.

The amino acid sequences of peptide fragments obtained from a normal protein were compared with those obtained from the same protein synthesized by a defective gene. They were found to differ in only one peptide fragment. Their amino acid sequences are shown here: Normal: Gln-Tyr-Gly-Thr-Arg-Tyr-Val Mutant: Gln-Ser-Glu-Pro-Gly-Thr a. What is the defect in DNA?b. It was later determined that the normal peptide fragment is an octapeptide with a C-terminal Val-Leu. What is the C-terminal amino acid of the mutant peptide?
