Summary Introduction
To determine: The cells that best survived at 10-6 grams per liter concentration of RIP.
Introduction: Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) inactivate the ribosomes and prevent protein synthesis in a cell. It removes adenine base from ribosomal rRNA that forms the part of binding site for proteins involved in GTP. This results in inability of ribosome to bind to these proteins and protein synthesis stops. The toxic RIPs have a domain that makes them enter into another that interferes with ribosome. They have antiviral and anticancer properties, and used to design drugs for HIV and cancer.

- Figure 15.16 Many antibiotics inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. For example, tetracycline blocks the A site on the bacterial ribosome, and chloramphenicol blocks peptidyl transfer. What specific effect would you expect each of these antibiotics to have on protein synthesis? Tetracycline would directly affect: tRNA binding to the ribosome ribosome assembly growth of the protein chain Chloramphenicol would directly affect tRNA binding to the ribosome ribosome assembly growth of the protein chainarrow_forwardeading list Cells have oligosaccharides displayed on their cell surface that are important for cell-cell recognition. Your friend has discovered a transmembrane glycoprotein, GP1, on a pathogenic fungal cell that is recognized by human immune cells. He decides to purify large amounts of GP1 by expressing it in bacteria. To his purified protein he then adds a branched 14-sugar oligosaccharide to the asparagine of the only Asn-X- Ser sequence found on GP1. Unfortunately, immune cells do not seem to recognize this synthesized glycoprotein. What's a likely explanation for this problem? O The oligosaccharide needs to be further modified before it's mature. O The oligosaccharide should've been added one sugar at a time. O The oligosaccharide needs a disulfide bond. O The oligosaccharideehould've been added to the serine instead of the asparagine.arrow_forwardIn the: Mutation of the 28S RNA preventing the binding of the 40S with 60S ribosomes Explain: (a) What is the process affected?

- Full length resilin that is not in a cell is thought by some to form a tertiary structure of this form (picture attached) The yellow portions represent exon 1 and the blue portions exon 3. These structures assemble into a kind of lattice or network. In full length resilin, stress in the form of mechanical pressure or heating to remove water results in a tighter network that excludes any water internally. How might this behavior of resilin produce its ‘elasticity’? Explain how the looser water containing structure and the tighter water excluding structure may give us a mechanism for the elasticity.arrow_forwardHi, Could you please comfirm the following question. I have selected option c) because tRNA is the the complimentary pairs of mRNA so I figured the oppside end of the tRNA would be the same as the mRNA. When I have tired to double check my answer, no tutor has selected this answer. Thank you in advance, Like mRNA, tRNA has a ribose sugar, U instead of T, and is single stranded. Unlike mRNA, which remains a long single strand of nucleotides, tRNA folds so that some areas pair up. The resulting structure has an anticodon on one end and a site for an amino acid to attach on the other end. There is base complementarity (A pairs with U and G pairs with C) between an mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon.If the amino acid lysine attaches to a tRNA, which of the following anticodons could be at the opposite end of the tRNA molecule? a. UUU and UUC b. AGA and AGU c. AAA and AAG d. UCU and UCAarrow_forwardSmall molecules are used as inhibitors of protein action - as drugs. They most often do this by blocking the active site within the protein. Potential drugs can be screened computationally to determine if they are strongly bound to the protein. Figure 1 shows a possible conformation of a candidate drug molecule, 4-bromo-2- carboxymethylamide-pyrrole (abbreviation: BCMAP) at the active site of a protein (abbreviation: PR). Figure 2 shows the full protein structure whilst figure 3 shows a known inhibitor of the protein at the site, overlayed with another calculated conformer of BCMAP. (c) Outline how you would investigate whether BCMAP would be an effective inhibitor for the protein in competition with the molecules that the protein normally targets, and any solvent.

Which of the following statement is NOT true regarding transcription/RNA synthesis? a) RNA synthesis occurs in the nucleus b) Unlike DNA synthesis, the only selective sequence of DNA is transcribed to RNA c) RNA synthesis requires a short stretch of RNA primers d) DNA sequences, specific proteins, and small RNAs regulate RNA synthesisarrow_forwardMany blood clotting proteins undergo a post-translational modification in which specific glutamic acid residues (Glu) in the protein are converted to gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues (Gla). See reaction scheme below. An example is the blood clotting protein Factor IX, which has 12 Glu in its N-terminus converted to Gla. This modification gives Factor IX the ability to bind calcium and phospholipid membranes. Bacteria do not have the enzyme required to convert Glu to Gla and therefore Factor IX proteins expressed in bacteria would not have the proper modifications. How might you engineer the translational apparatus of a bacterial cell line so that it produces Factor IX with Gla in the appropriate positions. How would you ensure that only the 12 Glu in Factor IX that are normally converted to Gla and not just all Glu (Limit 5-6 senetnces)?arrow_forward
