(a)
To determine: The way in which given treatment would be expected to stimulate or inhibit apoptosis.
Introduction: The given situation is “Cells are treated with a small molecule called pifithrin-a, which was originally isolated for its ability to reversibly block p53-dependent transcriptional activation”.
(b)
To explain: The way in which given treatment would be expected to stimulate or inhibit apoptosis.
Introduction: The given situation is “Exposing cells to recombinant TRAIL protein, a ligand for the tumor necrosis factor family of receptors”.
(c)
To explain: The way in which the given treatment would be expected to stimulate or inhibit apoptosis.
Introduction: The given situation is “Treatment of cells with organic compounds that enter the cell and bind with high affinity to the active site of caspase-3.”.

- Effects of BPA on phosphorylation of MAPKfamily in RAW264.7 cells conclusionarrow_forward______ can trigger apoptosis if certain cell-cycle events fail. How does this regulatory outcome benefit a multicellular organism?arrow_forwardIDENTIFICATION The cisternal space of ER is continuous with prenuclear space between the two membranes of the nuclear envelope and can communicate with the internals spaces of the Golgi complex and lysosome by means of _____________ that shuttle between these structures. _______________ side is oriented towards the RER (transition vesicles with newly synthesized protein arrive continuously from the ER)arrow_forward
- The expression patterns as well as activation of different types of CDKs happen at different stages of the cell cycle. Explain why.arrow_forwardTrue or False? p21 inhibits the S-cyclin/S-Cdk complex.arrow_forwardBriefly Explain why cell injury due to genetic causes are alarmingly increasing each yeararrow_forward
- “Disruption in the pathway of apoptosis & autophagy can lead to different diseases”- Briefly explain that statementarrow_forwardExpression of the muscle specific protein dystrophin is important in the functional formation of muscle tissue by integrating the internal cytoskeleton through a transmembrane complex with the extracellular matrix. aiding transcription factors in entry into the muscle cells nucleus degrading non-muscle cell proteins. none of thesearrow_forward(a) Write a possible sequence for an mRNA segment coding for apamine.(b) Do you think apamine is synthesized in the form, or is it more likely a product of proteolytic cleavage of a larger peptide? Explain.arrow_forward
- Also explain why this enzyme does not break down proteins on its way to the lysosome but becomes actively only when (and just before) it has entered the lysosome.arrow_forwardPredict the location(s) (intracellular or extracelular) and a brief description of WHY based on your knowledge of the transport processes in the following constructs. Assume a start codon is present and include any proteolytic processing that would be likely. 1. A PTS1 C-term peroxisomal targeting seq added to C term of a normally secreted protein with usual N -terminal signal sequence 2. Adding of N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence to protein with internal nuclear localization seq. 3. Adding N-terminal signal sequence of secreted protein to N-terminus a mitochondria matrix protein precursor with mitochondrial targeting sequence still presentarrow_forwardEpigenetics: In what way do the brown and yellow mice shown in the video differ? Why is this so?arrow_forward
