- You are a scientist studying drug resistance in cancer. You are particularly interested in ABCB1,a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of cell membrane transporters.Upregulation of these transmembrane proteins in cancer cells allows them to actively expeltherapeutic agents, which is a primary mechanism of chemotherapeutic drug resistance. 1. You are investigating a new drug, JB-80, that reduces ABCB1 mRNA levels in cancer cells.You want to determine if JB-80 is acting by reducing transcription of the ABCB1 gene, orby altering the stability of the resultant ABCB1 mRNA transcript.a) What compound could you use to test this question?b) What treatment groups would you include in your experiment ?c) If JB-80 works by enhancing degradation of the mRNA transcript, what would youexpect the relative abundance of ABCB1 mRNA to be in each treatment group of theexperiment from Question 1b? Please explain your answerarrow_forwardImagine that mutations occurred in one of the inverted repeat sequences within the rho-independent terminator sequence of a bacterium. What would likely be the consequence of this mutation? Select one: a. Transcription may not be initiated at all. b. Transcription may end prematurely. c. Transcription may be delayed. d. The rho protein won't be able to bind and transcription may not be terminate. e. Transcription may not be terminated and result in much longer RNA.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
- 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…arrow_forwardTranscriptional repressor proteins (e.g., lac repressor), antisense RNA, and feedback inhibition are three different mechanisms that turn off the expression of genes and gene products.

Shutting off the function of a protein For your answers to parts A–C that list more than one mechanism, which mechanism will be the fastest or the most efficient?arrow_forwardDescribe the following a.
