Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 12PIAT
QUANTITATIVE The production of ROS can be reduced using drugs that allow protons to freely pass through the inner membrane. The effect of a drug called DNP on the life span of mice is shown in the graph below. Each point represents the death of a single mouse. At what age is the difference in survival between the DNP-treated and the untreated control the greatest?

α-Bungarotoxin is a powerful neurotoxin found in the venom of a poisonous snake (Bungarus multicinctus). It binds with high specificity to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR; an integral membrane protein) andprevents its ion channel from opening. This interaction was used to purify AChR from the electric organ of torpedo fish.(a) Outline a strategy for using α-bungarotoxin covalently bound to chromatography beads to purify the AChR protein. (b) Outline a strategy for the use of [125I]α-bungarotoxin to purify the AChR protein.

(a) Depletion of a substrate that is part of the autocatalytic cycle (b) Formation of a modified product (due to the uptake of a modified substrate) that functions as a receptorarrow_forwardreferred to feedback inhibition as “Goldilocks regulation”. Describe how feedback inhibition keeps a pathway running at just the right level?arrow_forwardLactose transporter of E. coli is a well-studied proton driven cotransporter. It transports one lactose molecule together with one proton into the cell. Calculate the free energy change for transporting one more of protons into the cell? Membrane potential is -50 mV (inside is negative) and the pH = 7.2 inside the cell and the pH = 4.0 outside the cell. Temperature is 37 degrees celsius (310K).

- draw an arrow pushing mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by COX enzymes What aspirin do to one of the activities and how does the structural change that aspirin induces explain this change in activity? use PYMOL or chimera software to explain your answerarrow_forwardCalculate the energy cost (free-energy change) of pumping Ca2+ from thecytosol, where its concentration is about 1.0 × 10−7 M, to the extracellularfluid, where its concentration is about 1.0 mM. Assume a temperature of 37°C (body temperature in a mammal) and a standard transmembrane potentialof 50 mV (inside negative) for the plasma membrane.arrow_forwardAnimal cells utilize rapid increases in cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration to respond to certain extracellular signals. This requires keeping the cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration very low in the absence of signal (when the cell is “at rest”) and increasing the cytosolic Ca++ ion concentration when a signal is detected. Propose a mechanism by which the action of Ca++ transport proteins in the plasma membrane can account for the reversibility of Ca++ levels in the cytosol. Be sure to indicate whether active or passive transport is involved as well as the type of transport protein (channel or carrier) responsible.arrow_forward
- Exposing cells to which of the following drugs would inhibit the slow output response of a cell to a signaling ligandwithout having an effect on the fast output response ? A. Latrunculin - a molecule isolated from sponges, which binds near the nucleotide-binding cleft of monomericactin.B. Taxol - a molecule isolated from the bark of the pacific yew, which that stabilizes microtubules.C. Alpha-amanitin - a molecule isolated from deathcap mushrooms, which blocks RNA polymerase II.D. Phalloidin - a molecule isolated from deathcap mushrooms that stabilizes f-actin.E. Sodium orthovanadate - a molecule that inhibits alkaline and tyrosine phosphatases.arrow_forwardIn order to investigate the action of a bacterial membrane protein that is a light-driven proton pump, you purify the protein and assemble it together with phospholipids into liposomes that contain an indicator dye, which is blue at high pH, colorless at neutral pH, and red at low pH. You then expose the liposomes, in an aqueous solution, to sunlight. The interior of the liposomes turn blue. Further investigatin of the proton pump protein you find that treatment of either intact bacteria or the purified protein with the protease chymotrypsin result in cleavage of the protein at a single site near the amino terminus, which destroys its capacity to pump protons. When you treat the liposomes described above with chymotrypsin, the interior of the liposomes remains colorless. From these results create a diagram of that illustrates the orientation of the pump protein in the plasma membrane of the intact bacterium and the direction in which it pumps protons. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIn order to investigate the action of a bacterial membrane protein that is a light-driven proton pump, you purify the protein and assemble it together with phospholipids into liposomes that contain an indicator dye, which is blue at high pH, colorless at neutral pH, and red at low pH.
