Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 26P
Most large protein complexes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are composed both of proteins encoded in the organelle genome and proteins encoded in the nuclear genome. What complexities does this introduce for gene regulation (i.e., for ensuring that the appropriate relative numbers of the proteins in a complex are produced)?

The GAL gene system in yeast is used to metabolize galactose. In the presence of
galactose, the GAL genes are expressed; however, in the absence of galactose, the
GAL genes are repressed. A yeast mutant is discovered that continuously expresses
the GAL genes in the presence or absence of galactose. Which one of the following
mutations is likely the cause of constitutively expressed GAL genes?
deletion of GAL4
deletion of the UAS elements in the regulatory regions of GAL genes
O deletion of GAL3
O deletion of GAL80
A mutation creates a dominant negative allele of a particular gene. The gene encodes a protein that forms a trimer within the cell. If one or more of the subunits has the mutant structure, the entire trimeric protein is inactive. In a heterozygous cell, if the proteins of both alleles are present at the same levels, what percent of the trimers present in the cell will be active?
A) 100%
B) 5%
C) 50%
D) 33%
E) 5%
7. Progression from metaphase to anaphase in the cell cycle, and subsequent exit from anaphase,
requires sequential events involving the Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC). APC is a multi-
protein complex that has ubiquitin ligase activity (see pp. 611-612 in your textbook re: ubiquitin).
When APC adds adds ubiquitin to a substrate protein, the protein is targeted for degradation by the
proteasome. Two important substrates of APC are the proteins securin and cyclin B. Destruction
of securin allows the separation of sister chromatids at the beginning of anaphase, whereas
subsequent destruction of cyclin B allows cells to exit anaphase (see Figure 24-18 in your
textbook).

Cdc20-
Securin

For APC to bind specific substrates, it requires unique adaptor proteins that help it to recognize its
substrates. The adaptor protein Cdc20 allows APC to recognize and ubiquitinate securin, while the adaptor
Cdh-1 allows APC to recognize and…

- If lactose is present in a cell with the following genotype, will functional Beta – galactosidase and/or permease be made? LacIs, LacP+, LacOc, LacZ+, LacY- / LacI+, LacP+, LacO+, LacZ-, LacY+ Group of answer choices Both genes will make functional protein. Only Beta – galactosidase will be functional. Only permease will be functional. No functional proteins will be made.arrow_forwardIn humans, the average length of a gene on chromosome 7 is 69,000 base pairs, but the average MRNA length on chromosome 7 is only 2,500 base pairs. Chromosome 7 has 863 protein-coding genes, but many more than 863 proteins are made from the genes on chromosome 7. The observation that the length of the average gene on chromosome 7 is longer than the average mRNA length is explained by the process of while the observation that more proteins are produced from the genes on chromosome 7 than there are genes can be explained by the process of O heterogeneity; complementation splicing of introns; alternative splicing O chromatin remodeling; micro RNA binding acetylation; methylation alternative splicing; splicing of intronsarrow_forwardFor each of the following situations, provide a plausible explanation for how it could lead to unrestricted cell division.(a) Colon cancer cells often contain mutations in the gene encoding the prostaglandin E2 receptor. PGE2 is a growth factor required for the division of cells in the gastrointestinal tract.(b) Kaposi sarcoma, a common tumor in people with untreated AIDS, is caused by a virus carrying a gene for a protein similar to the chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. Chemokines are cell-specific growth factors.(c) Adenovirus, a tumor virus, carries a gene for the protein E1A, which binds to the retinoblastoma protein, pRb. (d) An important feature of many oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is their celltype specificity. For example, mutations in the PGE2 receptor are not typically found in lung tumors. Explain this observation. (Note that PGE2 acts through a GPCR in the plasma membrane.)arrow_forward
- The Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear gene ARG8encodes an enzyme that catalyzes a key step in biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine. This protein isnormally synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes, butthen is transported into mitochondria, where the enzyme conducts its functions. In 1996, T. D. Fox andhis colleagues constructed a strain of yeast in which agene encoding the Arg8 protein was itself moved intomitochondria, where functional protein could besynthesized on mitochondrial ribosomes.a. How could these investigators move the ARG8gene from the nucleus into the mitochondria, whilepermitting the synthesis of active enzyme? In whatways would the investigators need to alter theARG8 gene to allow it to function in the mitochondria instead of in the nucleus?b. Why might these researchers have wished to movethe ARG8 gene into mitochondria in the firstplace?arrow_forwardDystrophin is a protein that forms part of a vital protein complex that connects the cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber cell to the extracellular matrix. This connection strengthens and shapes the muscle fibers. Dystrophin is coded by the DMD gene. This is one of the longest human genes known, covering 2,300,000 base pairs (0.08% of the human genome) It is located in chromosome 21. The immature mRNA is 2,100,000 bases long and takes 16 hours to transcribe. It contains 79 exons. The mature mRNA measures 14,000 and codes for a protein with 3,685 amino acids. Abnormal expression of dystrophin leads to severe symptoms like muscle weakness and fatigability, a disease that is called muscular dystrophy. Most patients with muscular dystrophy become wheelchair dependent early in life. Cardiac muscle is also affected which results typically in premature death (~ second or third decade of life). Several mutations in this gene have led to the production of low levels of dystrophin or of a defective,…arrow_forwardIn a mutant mouse, it was discovered that a gene "W" is moved from its original chromosomal locus to the telomere region, where chromatin is packed into heterochromatin.

- Metabolic syndrome is a genetic disorder with symptoms of hypertension, elevated blood cholesterol concentrations, and lower-than-normal blood magnesium concentrations. This syndrome is caused by a mutation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in which a thymine nucleotide is replaced by a cytosine nucleotide. Which of the following identifies the mutated mtDNA and the corresponding mRNA and tRNA produced in a person with metabolic syndrome if the normal mtDNA triplet is TCG? Select one: a. Mutated mtDNA: CCG mRNA: GGC tRNA: GGC b. Mutated mtDNA: TCG mRNA: UGC tRNA: ACG c. Mutated mtDNA: CCG mRNA: GGC tRNA: CCG d. Mutated mtDNA: TTG mRNA: AAC tRNA: UUCarrow_forwardThe oncogenic protein BETA promotes entry into the S phase of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation of BETA at the amino acid Tyr98 causes BETA to be degraded by the proteasome, thus limiting its abundance. A mutation in the codon encoding Tyr98 changes this residue to Cys, which cannot be phosphorylated. What is the best description of this mutant allele?a) antimorphb) hypermorphc) hypomorphd) amorphe) neomorpharrow_forwardAn old genetic observation is that a normally active gene will be silenced if it is moved by transposition or crossing over from an uncondensed (euchromatic) region to a heavily condensed (heterochromatic) region of a chromosome. Assume the euchromatic chromatin containing the active gene is surrounded by heterochromatic chromatin immediately after insertion. Please explain in terms of the control of histone modification why the normally active gene is silenced when it becomes surrounded by condensed regions.
