- Mutations in genes that change their pattern of expression (the time and cell type in which the gene productis produced) are thought to be a major factor in the evolution of different organisms. Would you expect thesame protein to work in the same way (for example, toperform the same kind of enzymatic reaction) in twodifferent types of cells (for example, cells in the retinaof the eye and muscle cells)? Is it possible that the sameprotein might function in different biochemical pathways in eye cells and muscle cells even if the protein’sbasic mechanism always remains the same?arrow_forwardGenetics of man question:Provide the expression pattern of the gene ,GATA binding 3 (GATA3).arrow_forwardGTTTTCACTGGCGAGCGTCATCTTCCTACT 8.

- Question:- Describe the path a cell surface receptor will take when being synthesized (starting at the beginning of translation) to its expression on the plasma membrane; indicate the orientation of the receptor and any other processing that is undergoes. Describe the different possible fates of a receptor once it is internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis.arrow_forward15. Cellular proteins are oftentimes post-translationally modified. Choose one of the following PTMs: N-linked glycosylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, or GPI-anchor. Clearly indicate your choice, then address the following: (a) How is the PTM attached to the protein of interest? At which amino acid residue(s)? What enzyme(s) is involved, if any? (b) Is the PTM relatively stable or highly dynamic? Explain. How does the PTM become detached from the protein of interest? What enzyme(s) is involved, if any? (c) What is the function of the PTM? Provide one specific example.arrow_forward
