Which of the following changes to the microtubule binding protein, Tau, commonly occurs in Alzheimerâ s and other neurodegenerative diseases?   A Tau is hypo-phosphorylated and does not bind to microtubules to destabilize them.   B Tau levels are so low in the cell that they only bind to some microtubules.   C Tau is hyper-phosphorylated and does not bind to microtubules to stabilize them.   D Microtubules are hyper-phosphorylated and do not bind to Tau.
A researcher is studying the effects of a novel cancer drug on cell division and comparing the new drug to a traditional chemotherapy drug. The traditional drug causes numerous side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss and susceptibility to infections due to low white blood cell counts. The novel drug is a targeted therapy (specifically targets the abnormal protein in the cancer cell) and is likely to reduce side effects that patients experience when treated with traditional chemotherapy. One group of cancer patients was treated with the novel drug and a second group of cancer patients was treated with the traditional chemotherapy drug. Prior and subsequent to treatment, a mitotic index was obtained from a tumor sample from each patient as well as a bone marrow sample (bone marrow cells give rise to all blood cell types including red blood cells and white blood cells). Since this is a double-blind study (neither the patient nor the researcher knows which patients received which…
Which of the following statements best describes the process of phase separation in cells?     Proteins can assemble as liquid droplets that are not bounded by a membrane in either the cytoplasm or nucleus      A protein can separate into different organelles dependent on the phase of the cell cycle     Proteins that are assembled in one phase of the cell cycle and degraded in the next are said to undergo phase separation     Signal sequences can target proteins assembled in the cytoplasm into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum
