DRAW IT Below are the amino acid sequences(using the single-letter code; see Figure 5.14) of four short segments of the FOXP2 protein from six Speeles: chimpanzce (Q, orangutan (()), gorllla (G), rhesus macaque (R), mouse (M), and human (H). These segments contain all of the amino acid differences helween the FOXP2 proteinsof these species.
Use a highlighter to color anv amino acid that varies among the species. (Color that amino acid in all sequences.
- (a) The C, G, R sequences are identical. Identily which lines correspond to those sequences.
- (b) The O sequence differs from the C, G, R speieces at two amino acids. Underilnethetwodlffcrences inthe H sequence.
- (c) The O sequence diffen from the C, G, R sequences at one amino acid (having V instead of A) and from the H sequence at three amino acids. Identify tho O sequence.
- (d) In the M sequence,circle the amino acid(s) that differ from the C, G, R sequence, and draw a square around those that differ from the H sequence.
- (e) Primates and rodents diverged between 60 and IO0 million years ago. and chimpanzees and humans about 6 million years ago. Compare the amino acid differences between the mouse and the C, G, R species with those between the human and the C, G, R species. What can you conclude?

- Gene editing is also used to explore the structure and function ofproteins. For example, changes can be made to the coding sequenceof a gene to determine how alterations in the amino acid sequenceaffect the function of a protein. Let’s suppose that you areinterested in the functional importance of a particular glutamicacid (an amino acid) within a protein you are studying. By geneediting, you make mutant proteins in which the glutamic acidcodon has been changed to other codons. You then test the encodedmutant proteins for functionality. The results are as follows: FunctionalityNormal protein 100%Mutant proteins containingTyrosine 5%Phenylalanine 3%Aspartic acid 94%Glycine 4%From these results, what would you conclude about the…arrow_forwardA very common molecular biology research method is to analyze cell or tissue homogenates by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting (Western blot). What can we learn about a protein of interest from this type of analysis? More than one answer is correct. Options: Determine the tertiary structure of the protein of interest. Determine or verify the molecular weight of the protein of interest. Compare the levels of the protein of interest in two different cell types. Determine the amino acid sequence from the product ion spectrum. Determine the intracellular binding partners of the protein of interest.arrow_forwardTitin is a muscle protein named for its size.

- If you’re comparing the sequences of protein “R” from multiple vertebrates, arthropods, protists, and bacteria, which PAM or BLOSUM matrix would be the most suitable compared to others? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIn the image below, the blue squiggly line represents a folded protein. There are two particular amino acids that are colored red and black in the protein. The structure of each of these two specific amino acids is shown in the indicated box. A mutation occurs in the gene that encodes the protein illustrated above. The result of this mutation is that one of the amino acids above is substituted with another. Specifically, the amino acid whose structure is shaded red above (the one on the left in the illustration) is replaced by the amino acid shown below. Use this information to answer the two questions that follow. Please answer these questions.  1. Based on this description, indicate which type of mutation occurred: missense, nonsense, silent, or indel 2. How would this mutation affect this protein's structure and function?
