Chapter 11, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The intracellular dTTP fraction synthesized from exogenous precursor should be determined.

Concept introduction:

In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication requires a balanced supply of dNTP in the S phase. The dTTP production is controlled in order to coordinate with DNA replication during the cell cycle. By enzymes such as cytosolic thymidine kinase (TK1) and thymidylate kinase (TMPK), the intercellular thymidine is recovered to dTTP. This increases the G1/S transition and affect the mitosis control of dTTP.

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

The rate of DNA synthesis (in molecules per minute per cell of thymine nucleotides incorporated into DNA) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication requires a balanced supply of dNTP in the S phase. The dTTP production is controlled in order to coordinate with DNA replication during the cell cycle. By enzymes such as cytosolic thymidine kinase (TK1) and thymidylate kinase (TMPK), the intercellular thymidine is recovered to dTTP. This increases the G1/S transition and affect the mitosis control of dTTP.

Interpretation Introduction

(c) Interpretation:

The method to determine the specific activity of dTTP pool should be explained.

The standard cost of Product B manufactured by Oriole Company includes 3.5 units of direct materials at $5.40 per unit. During June, 27,300 units of direct materials are purchased at a cost of $5.15 per unit, and 27,300 units of direct materials are used to produce 7,600 units of Product B. (a) Compute the total materials variance and the price and quantity variances. Total materials variance Materials price variance Materials quantity variance $ (b) Compute the total materials variance and the price and quantity variances, assuming the purchase price is $6.35 and the quantity purchased and used is 26,300 units.

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetyl CoA. E₁, E2, and E3 are abbreviations for the enzymes of the complex. Classify the enzyme names, prosthetic groups, and reactions as E1, E2, or E3. E₁ E2 Answer Bank E3 transfer of electrons to FAD and then to NAD+ transfer of acetyl group to coenzyme A formation of hydroxyethyl-TPP hydroxyethyl group transferred to lipoamide thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) FAD lipoamide dihydrolipoyl transacetylase pyruvate dehydrogenase dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase
Patients with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency show high levels of lactic acid in the blood. However, in some cases, treatment with dichloroacetate (DCA), which inhibits the kinase associated with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, lowers lactic acid levels. How does DCA act to stimulate pyruvate dehydrogenase activity? DCA activates pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. DCA increases phosphorylation levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase. DCA inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. ODCA activates pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase. What does this suggest about pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in patients who respond to DCA? The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is active only when phosphorylated by the kinase. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is active only in the presence of the kinase. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is completely inactive. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex displays some residual activity.
