Question
Chapter 9, Problem 22RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The function of the given genes c-myc, PKB, HIF1, and p53 in carcinogenic aerobic glycolysis.
Introduction:
The carcinogenic cells grow and multiply at a very high rate than normal cells do. This results in the need for quick regenerated energy supply and a large supply of precursor molecules. The ATP (adenosine triphosphate) produced by the process of glycolysis is not capable of meeting the needs of a carcinogenic cell. This results in certain metabolic changesbecause of altered gene expression, which further leads to increased uptake of glucose as well asincreased glycolytic activity in transformed cells.

In a genetic counseling clinic, a woman and her husband seek advice on the potential that any of their children would be afflicted with LHON. The husband's mother and father, both exhibit symptoms of the disease, but the woman does not. What is a reasonable advising statement to make?arrow_forwardLeigh syndrome is characterized by psychomotor regression: that is, the progressive loss of mental andmovement abilities. Patients also suffer from lacticacidosis, a condition in which mitochondrial respiration is deficient, so their tissues metabolize glucoseanaerobically, leading to the buildup of lactate. Somepatients with Leigh syndrome have a mutation in themitochondrial gene MT-CO3, which encodes a subunit of the electron transport complex cytochromec oxidase. Other patients diagnosed with Leigh syndrome have a loss-of-function mutation in the nucleargene SURF1, which encodes a factor needed for theassembly of this same enzyme complex.a. How can the same symptoms result from mutationsin a mitochondrial gene and from mutations in anuclear gene?arrow_forwardThiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that is responsible for the metabolism of the drugs azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine, which are used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease. Metabolism by TPMT reduces the bioavailability of the drugs. In addition to the thiopurine substrates, TPMT also binds S-adenosyl methionine as a cofactor. TPMT is a highly polymorphic enzyme; almost 30 variants are known to be expressed in humans, with most of the variants possessing lower enzymatic activity than the wild-type protein (TPMTwt). Despite having substitutions remote from the active site, TPMT*2 (an A80P variant) and TPMT*5 (an L49S variant) have enzyme activities of 47% and 14% relative to TPMTwt at 18°C, respectively. Two techniques were used to understand the relationships between enzymatic activity and protein stability. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy measures the differential absorption of left and right-circularly polarized light and is used…arrow_forward
- The two major types of cell-surface receptors that bind tohormone molecules are G-protein linked receptors and_____________________.arrow_forwardAcatalasemia is a rare autosomal recessive condition that results in no expression of the enzyme catalase; however, persons with this condition are usually only mildly affected. The enzyme catalase is found in most organisms and is a protection against oxidative damage, specifically breaking down the highly reactive oxygen species, hydrogen peroxide. Symptoms may include mouth ulcers that disappear with good dental hygiene; with poor dental hygiene, the ulcers can lead to gangrene in the mouth soft tissues. Persons with this condition usually do not know they are affected unless a family member is tested for the mutation. Dejah recently learned that her Uncle Malik had a dental surgery that was complicated by mouth ulcers and gangrenous tissue that had to be removed. The oral surgeon had learned about genetic conditions that affect oral hygiene and recognized that this could be acatalasemia, and ordered genetic testing. Uncle Malik was positive for this recessive condition, having…arrow_forwardOne of your colleagues has obtained a sample of muscle phosphorylase b that is known to be relatively inactive.
