Concept explainers
Introduction:
Protein synthesis has been completed after assemble of amino acid sequences of protein (primary structure). Proteins are functionally active when they become folded (secondary and tertiary structures). In quaternary structure, protein can be associated with other chains of proteins or binds with other nonprotein molecules like vitamins or carbohydrates. Chaperones are proteins, some of them are called as stress or heat shock proteins. Ribosomes assemble newly synthesized proteins guided by chaperones. Chaperone regulates the folding of new protein in a proper shape to prevent from unnecessary association with other proteins.

- The p53 gene was discovered in 1979, but it was not clear whether the gene functioned as an oncogene or a tumor-suppressor gene. Several years later, researchers showed that both p53 alleles are inactivated in some mouse cancers. This evidence suggests A. the p53 gene is an oncogene because inactivated alleles would produce mutated signal transduction proteins that would result in stimulating cell division. B. the p53 gene is an oncogene because the cell would overproduce transcription factors to compensate for the inactive alleles, resulting in increased cell division. C. the p53 gene is a tumor-suppressor gene because inactivated alleles indicate a loss of protein function which allowed the cancer to develop D. the p53 gene is a tumor-suppressor gene because the cell would produce too few transcription factors for gene activation, resulting in decreased cell division.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about NHEJ (Non-Homologous End Joining) repair? a. This is the optimal mechanism to repair broken chromosomes during S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. b. NHEJ is mutagenic c. This mechanism requires Holliday junction resolvases d. Both a. and c. are truearrow_forwardEpigenesis relating to genetics refers to which of the following A. Genetic information is limited to what we inherit only from our biological parents. B. Genes are not influenced by environmental factors. C. Genes we inherit are fully expressed at birth. D. Genes are turned on or off as needed, by the developing body or environmental triggers, across the life-spanarrow_forward

Because it interferes with the assembly of microtubules, its effectiveness must be related to Select one: a. inhibition of DNA synthesis. O b. myosin denaturation and inhibition of cleavage furrow formation. c. suppression of cyclin production. Od. inhibition of regulatory protein phosphorylation. O e. disruption of mitotic spindle formation. Next pagearrow_forward3) The tumor suppressor protein Rb regulation of the entry into the S phase of the cell cycle is represented in this diagram. DNA Answer: b) Explain your choice above: Answer: Rb E2F Genes needed for S phase are NOT transcribed Growth factor Ras pathway Cdk-cyclin 30 ATP ADP Phosphorylated Rb protein P Rb E2F Gene transcription a) In hereditary retinoblastoma tumors, Rb is mutated. Among the following mutations, which one is not likely to be found in these tumors. 1) Mutation prevents Rb to bind E2F by modifying the binding site. 2) Mutation prevents Rb to be dephosphorylated and recycled (possibly by prevented phosphorylated Rb to be recognized by the phosphatase that removes its phosphates). 3) Mutation may cause Rb to be misfolded and not have a functional conformation 4) Mutation that prevent Rb to be phosphorylated by cdk-cyclin. 5) Mutation may cause Rb to be unstable and degraded rapidly. c) (4 pts) Human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are the main causes of cervical cancers.…arrow_forward
- Which of the following is MOST likely true of aggressively dividing cancer cells (select one)? A. They do not express telomerase B. They do not express hTERT C.
