Chapter 1, Problem 3CAL

Your friend Eric complains of some pain in his “belly area.” You ask him to point to the precise location of the pain. He points to a region that is below his umbilicus, on the lower right side of his abdomen, and just medial to his hip bones.

3. Eric goes to the doctor to determine the cause and source of the pain. The physician orders a CT scan, which shows that Eric has an enlarged and inflamed appendix (an organ associated with the digestive system). Eric asks the physician why she didn’t just take an x-ray of his belly region. She explains an x-ray would not be the best diagnostic imaging tool in this case because

  1. a. x-ray images are more expensive to produce than CT scans.
  2. b. soft-tissue structures don’t show up well on basic x-rays.
  3. c. the x-rays could inflame the appendix further and cause it to burst.
  4. d. x-rays now are used primarily for bone injuries only.

As a medical professional, it is important to be able to discuss how genetic processes such as translation regulation can directly affect patients. Think about some situations that might involve translation regulation.   Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Why is translation regulation important? What are some examples of translation regulation in humans? Select one of the examples you provided and explain what happens when translation regulation goes wrong.
The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
