Chapter 52.2, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the hypothesis proposed by the researchers was supported by the results obtained by them on infected flies or not.
Introduction: Scientists worked to discover the way in which the embryos develop into adults. However, they discovered a protein known as Toll protein. These proteins bind to a receptor known as TLRs. It stands for “Toll-like receptors”. Drosophila melanogaster is a type of fly that generally feeds on fruits. Toll protein helps in the development of embryos of Drosophila melanogaster.

My hypothesis:
The Hyper-IgE syndrome, also known as Job’s syndrome, is an immunodeficiency disease resulting from the lack of function of a single gene (gene ‘X’). This Hyper IgE/Job's syndrome or STAT3 deficiency(HIES) is caused by STAT3 gene mutation. STAT3 is a gene involved in major signal transduction pathways including wound healing, angiogenesis, immune response, and allergies. This genetic mutation is autosomal dominant in nature. The above mentioned are the most likely immune function impaired in the Gene X-deficient patients including immunity with eczematous and non-immunologic system disorders.
Question:
In a lab, histological examination of tongue sections from Candida albicans infected mice were examined, and the numbers of infiltrating leukocytes (white blood cells) were quantified in each microscopic field of each section, and the results are shown in the figure below. Do these data support or refute my hypothesis stated above? Why or why not?

However, Arg 789 is mutated to Alanine. which are true or false? ____We expect Ala789 GAP to have no consequence for cell growth or survival signaling. ____Arg789 stabilizes the T-loop of GAP in the outward (active) position, so we expect Ala789 GAP to have no kinase activity. ___Arg789 participates in the GTP hydrolysis reaction carried out by RAS, so we expect RAS to be catalytically inactive when partnered with Ala789 GAP. ____Arg789 binds in the major groove of the DNA double helix, so we expect Ala789 GAP to be inactive as a transcriptional regulator. __Arg789 interacts with RAS switch 1 and switch 2 regions, so we expect the RAS switch to fail with Ala789 GAP. ____The RAS switch would be locked in the OFF position by Ala789 GAP, so we expect no constitutive RAS signaling and hence no risk of this tumor metastasizing. ____The…arrow_forward
