(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of lipoprotein lipase.

Introduction: Proteins are important macromolecules that are involved in most of the metabolic activities. They are composed of amino acids. The amino acids join together with the help of polypeptide bonds to form proteins.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of amylin.

Introduction: Islet cells are the cluster of cells that release insulin in the body. They are found in the pancreas. Islet cells are involved in the formation of amylin.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of ghrelin.

Introduction: Food is a vital requirement for the survival of organisms. Every organism requires energy and energy is obtained by the food. There are many types of neurotransmitters that help in food intake.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of neuropeptide Y.

Introduction: Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that are released by the neurons. They help in generating responses against the stimulus. The neurotransmitters have been divided into four major chemical classes according to the chemicals that they contain.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of apoprotein.

Introduction: The lipoprotein and lipid complexes present in the epithelial cells of intestines are called chylomicrons. The apoprotein is a part of chylomicrons.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of leptin.

Introduction: The scientists have proposed a theory called the lipostatic theory. According to it, the signals are passed from the adipocytes to the brain. These signals modulate the eating behavior of the organism.

(g)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of osmotic diuresis.

Introduction: Humans have a well-defined urinary system that helps in the removal of wastes from the blood. The yellowish liquid produced as waste during metabolism is termed as urine. Osmotic diuresis is involved in the urinary system.

(h)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The definition and physiological significance of insulin resistance.

Introduction: Insulin is a hormone that helps in maintains the blood glucose level in the body. The insulin is produced by a cluster of cells called beta cells. The people suffering from diabetes have a low level of insulin.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
There is currently a H5N1 cattle outbreak in North America. According to the CDC on Feb 26*: "A multistate outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported on March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses had been found in cows. In the United States, since 2022, USDA has reported HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections in more than 200 mammals." List and describe two mechanisms that could lead to this H5N1 influenza strain evolving to spread in human:  Mechanisms 1: Mechanisms 2: For the mutations to results in a human epidered they would need to change how the virus interacts with the human host. In the case of mutations that may promote an epidemic, provide an example for: a protein that might incur a mutation: how the mutation would change interactions with cells in the respiratory tract (name the receptor on human cells) List two phenotypic consequence from this mutation that would increase human risk
You have a bacterial strain with the CMU operon: a) As shown in the image below, the cmu operon encodes a peptide (Pep1), as well as a kinase and regulator corresponding to a two-component system. The cmu operon is activated when Pep 1 is added to the growth media. Pep1 is a peptide that when added extracellularly leads to activation of the Cmu operon. Pep1 cmu-kinase cmu-regulator You also have these genetic components in other strains: b) An alternative sigma factor, with a promoter activated by the cmu-regulator, that control a series of multiple operons that together encode a transformasome (cellular machinery for transformation). c) the gene cl (a repressor). d) the promoter X, which includes a cl binding site (and in the absence of cl is active). e) the gene gp (encoding a green fluorescence protein). Using the cmu operon as a starting point, and assuming you can perform cloning to rearrange any of these genomic features, how would you use one or more of these to modify the…
