Chapter 16, Problem 7Q
Summary Introduction

To explain: The possibility of activation of the RTK when it is exposed to the antibodies which bind to the respective RTK.

Concept introduction: Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTK) are a unique group of receptors found on the membrane which have a kinase domain in them to phosphorylate the necessary target proteins (receptors also) to initiate the cascade. The kinase activity is activated only when the RTK receptor is in its dimer form. This acts as a check point to keep the initiation of cascade under check. The antibodies are proteins that identify a protein with their unique antigen binding site produced by the plasma cells. The antibodies are used by the plasma cells to defend against the invading pathogen. The same is exploited by the researchers to tag a protein to isolate the target protein of interest.

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
