Chapter 6, Problem 24DAP

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: An explanation to mutation in LDH which replaces Arg109 with Gln and shows 5% of pyruvate binding and 0.07% wild-type enzyme activity.

Introduction:

Mutation in an organism is defined as a permanent alteration of “nucleotide sequences”. The mutations can be harmful, beneficial or neutral depending on the location of alteration in the genome and the effect exerted by the environment.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why it is a surprising effect when the mutant form of LDH in which Arg171 is replaced with Lys shows only 0.05% of the wild –type level of substrate level binding.

Introduction:

Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. It is an organic compound that contains an amine group and carboxyl group along with a functional R group. It is involved in the regulation of several cellular processes of the body.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The effect of substituting Arg171with Lys.

Introduction:

Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. It is an organic compound that contains an amine group and carboxyl group along with a functional R group. It is involved in the regulation of several cellular processes of the body.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why the mutant form of LDH in which Ile250 is replaced by Gln shows reduced binding of NADH.

Introduction:

Lactate dehydrogenase is a type of enzyme which is found in all living organisms including plants, animals and other prokaryotes. It is involved in the conversion of lactate into pyruvic acid in a cell.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To sketch: The active site of mutant LDH with oxaloacetate bound.

Introduction:

Lactate dehydrogenase is a type of enzyme which is found in all living organisms including plants, animals and other prokaryotes. It is involved in the conversion of lactate into pyruvic acid in a cell.

(f)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The use of oxaloacetate by mutant enzyme as a substrate instead of pyruvate.

Introduction:

Oxaloacetate is an organic compound and is an intermediate of citric acid cycle which reacts with acetyl-CoA to form citrate. The enzyme involved in this conversion is citrate synthase.

(g)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The statement that substituting a larger amino acid in the active site allowed a larger substrate to bind.

Introduction:

Amino acids are building blocks of proteins. It is an organic compound that contains an amine group and carboxyl group along with a functional R group. It is involved in the regulation of several cellular processes of the body.

You were tasked with purifying an untagged transcription factor (molecular weight 65,000Da, isoelectric point unknown) from a contaminant Protein A (molecular weight 50,000 Da, isoelectric point 5.0). You were also instructed to use the protein for crystallization studies after purification.i) In the initial purification step, which type of chromatography should you attempt? Explain your choice and specify the requirements of the buffer solution you should use. ii) Analyzing the proteins recovered from step i) using SDS-PAGE, you still observed a faint band of Protein A in addition to the transcription factor band. Given the limited time available for further purification, you must choose ONE appropriate chromatography method to maximize the chances of separating the two proteins as well as your crystallization studies. Provide a detailed explanation of your selection and the techniques/strategies you would employ to achieve this.
You were given a mixture of two proteins with different isoelectric points and molecular weights:• Protein X: pI 4.2, MW 42,000• Protein Y: pI 9.8, MW 90,000Using a Tris-glycine discontinuous native gel (pH8.3) electrophoresis system with a running gel of 12%, only a single band was observed upon protein staining after electrophoresis. Explain the observed result and discuss possible factors affecting protein migration in this system.
The standard cost of Product B manufactured by Oriole Company includes 3.5 units of direct materials at $5.40 per unit. During June, 27,300 units of direct materials are purchased at a cost of $5.15 per unit, and 27,300 units of direct materials are used to produce 7,600 units of Product B.
