Question
Chapter 35, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role of non-sense mediated RNA decay in the immune system should be identified.
Concept introduction:
The non-sense mediated mRNA decay is defined as the removal of the mRNA which contains premature stop codon. This RNA is not helpful in coding the gene of interest, as the stop codon is present before the actual segment needs to be translated.

Leaderless. The MRNA for the A repressor begins with 5'-AUG-3',
5'-AUG-3', which encodes the methionine residue that begins the
protein. What is unusual about this beginning? Would it cause the
MRNA to translate efficiently or not?
True or false

Some terms are used more than once] Rab, SNARE, v- SNARE, t-SNARE, Tethering a. Identification of a vesicle to be docked depends on a diverse family of monomeric GTPases called proteins. First, a filamentous protein on a target membrane binds to a protein on the surface of a vesicle. This interaction allows the vesicle to dock on its particular target membrane. A on the vesicle then binds to a complementary_ on the target membrane. Whereas and proteins provide the initial recognition between a vesicle and its target membrane, complementary appropriate target membranes. Together, the proteins ensure that transport vesicles dock at their proteins catalyze the final fusion of the two membranes by squeezing out water making fusion more energetically favorable. b.

- BONUS QUESTION! In neurons, the proteolytic enzyme y-secretase produces the Aß amyloid peptides shown below. The AB40 peptide is thought to play a protective role in the neuron. However, the AB42 peptide appears to be toxic since it is found in the amyloid plaques that cause Alzheimer's Disease (AD). AB40 and AB42 are identical, except that AB42 contains two extra amino acid residues (shown in red) at the C-terminal end. Based on your knowledge of amino acids and proteins, which of the following factors is most likely to explain the greater plaque-forming activity of AB42 compared to AB40? Sequence of Aß40: DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQKLVFFAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVV Sequence of AB42: DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQKLVFFAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVVIA O The greater length of AB42 makes it more likely to aggregate and form plaques.
