Question
Chapter 21, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
To predict:
The result of Y161F mutation in amino acid sequence of D1 subunit of PSII.
Introduction:
Photosystem II or PSII is a specialized protein complex. Here, light energy is used to force the electron transfer from water to plastoquinone. As a result of this, oxygen is produced and reduced plastoquinone is released to photosynthetic membrane.

- Mutational analysis of the important amino acids in the catalytic triad of serine proteases showed that replacing Asp102 or modifying His57 with amethyl group decreased the reaction rate about 5000-fold. However,mutating Ser195 decreased the reaction rate a millionfold. Discuss why mutating Ser had a larger impact than the other members of the catalytic triad.arrow_forwardA Leu →Ala mutation at a site buried in the core of the enzyme lysozymeis found to be destabilizing. Explain the observed effect of this mutationon lysozyme stability by predicting how enthalpy (ΔH°), conformationalentropy (ΔS°peptide), and the hydrophobic effect (ΔS°solvent) are expected to change for the mutant compared to wild-type lysozyme. Explain how ΔG°for unfolding is affected by your predicted changes in enthalpy or entropy.arrow_forwardExplain the signifi cance of the observation that peptides such as fMet-Leu-Phe “activate” the phagocytotic (particle-engulfi ng) functions of mammalian leukocytes (white blood cells).arrow_forward

Based on the location of this residue and the differences between Lys and Asp, sug- gest a rationale for the observed reduction in Oz-binding affinity.arrow_forward
- A particular type of anemia in humans, called b-thalassemia,results from a severe reduction or absence of the normal b-globinchain of hemoglobin. However, the g@globin chain, normally onlyexpressed during fetal development, can functionally substitutefor b-globin. A variety of studies have explored the use of thenucleoside 5-azacytidine for the expression of g-globin in adultpatients with b-thalassemia.(a) How might 5-azacytidine lead to expression of g-globin inadult patients?(b) Explain why this drug may also have some adverse side effects.arrow_forwardGal 4 is involved in the regulation of galactose metabolism.

The enzyme is allosterically inhibited by the product, CTP. Mammalian cells defective in this allosteric inhibition are found to have a complex phenotype: They require thymidine in the growth medium, they have unbalanced nucleotide pools, and they have an elevated spontaneous mutation rate. Explain the likely basis for these observations.arrow_forward
- Direct mutagenesis of Ca2+ ATPase gene resulted in the replacement of two amino acid residues - Asn111 and Asn114 to Ala. These substitutions led to the reduction in Ca2+ transport activity by 10% and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, directed mutagenesis that resulted in the alteration of four Glu residues in the lumenal loop of this transport protein to Ala, did not affect the Ca2+ transport. Provide the possible explanation for the observed differences in the Ca2+ transport activity between the protein with Asn->Ala substitution and the protein with Glu->Ala substitution.arrow_forwardThe codon change (Gly-12 to Val-12) in human rasH that convertsit to oncogenic rasH has been associated with many types ofcancers.

In other words,what would be the structure of the drugs, and how would theyinhibit Ras protein?
