Which of the following best describes the production of insulin in by bacterial cells.
The biosynthetic pathway that produces human insulin is introduced into bacterial cells on a plasmid. Insulin is purified from bacterial lysates by electrophoresis.
Human insulin in a peptide hormone comprised of two chains A and B. Only B chain is required, It is produced by injecting bacteria with MRNA encoding B chain peptide, and purifying the peptides with an antibody.
Fuman insulin in a peptide hormone comprised of two chains A and B. It is produced by injecting bacteria with transgenic plasmids containing MRNA encoding either the A and B chain peptides, and purifying the peptides with a mix of antibodies against tne A or B chain.
aman nsulina peptide hormone comprised of two chains A and B. They are produced separately as fusion proteins with beta-galactosidase when bacterial cells are transformed with plasmids containing either A or B chain with the lacZ sequence. Once purified they are…

- Experiment: In this activity yo Page 5 ze the results of experiments that investigate nutritional requirement of several mutant strains of yeast. The mutations in these strains cause a nutritional requirement for an amino acid, such that the strains will not grow in media that lack one specific amino acid. Any mutant that has a nutritional requirement is called an auxotroph, and is incapable of growing in a "minimal medium" containing only a carbon source (e.g., glucose), a simple nitrogen source (e.g., ammonium sulfate), and various salts and minerals. Such strains can be supported on a medium supplemented with only the missing nutrient or on a "rich" medium that contains amino acids, vitamins, nitrogenous bases, etc. (often in the form of an extract from yeast). The wild-type individual that can synthesize the metabolic component is a prototroph, and is capable of growth on minimal medium. The mutant strains in this activity are unable to synthesize tryptophan, lysine, or histidine;…arrow_forwardERAD, or ER associated degradation, is a quality control measure with the following function: A. misfolded proteins activate the expression of genes such as chaperones that will help to refold and stabilize misfolded proteins until the fold correctly B. proteins that cannot fold correctly are ejected from the ER through the translocon and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the cytosol C. misfolded proteins are ubiquitinated and degraded by proteasomes inside the ER D. Unfolded proteins in the ER activate a transmembrane kinase in the ER that phosphorylates misfolded proteins that are sent to the lysosome in vesicles for degradationarrow_forwardR5 List and briefly discuss the seven factors that should be considered for the development of a novel biosensor.arrow_forward
