Your friend is intrigued by Cdks and purifies Cdk from the daisy plant. She is able to determine the sequence of 18 amino acids from the daisy Cdk protein. Using these data, she aligns the daisy Cdk sequence with one human Cdk protein and the Cdk proteins from two different kinds of yeast, as shown in Figure 18-25. Sequences identical between the human and fungal proteins have been boxed. ...FGIPIRVY THEVVTLWYR human S. pombe S. cerevisiae daisy ...FGVPLRNYTHEIVTLWYR... ... ...

Indeed, the threonine (T) in the central "YTHE" block is known to be phosphorylated by a kinase that activates Cdks in human and yeast. The surrounding conserved sequences could thus be important for the interaction of this Cdk-activating kinase with Cdk.

Explain your reasoning.

Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.

Such conserved amino acid sequences are often involved in protein-protein interactions. Indeed, the
threonine (T) in the central "YTHE" block is known to be phosphorylated by a kinase that activates Cdks
in human and yeast. The surrounding conserved sequences could thus be important for the interaction
of this Cdk-activating kinase with Cdk. In the daisy Cdk, however, not all of the amino acids in these
conserved blocks match the sequences from yeast and human, as indicated by the arrows marked #1
and #2.
A. When you replace the S. cerevisiae (budding yeast) Cdk with the daisy Cdk, you discover the
daisy Cdk does not interact with the Cdk-activating kinase inside the yeast cell. Which of the
changes (#1 or #2) is a conservative mutation? Which is non-conserved? Explain your reasoning
(hint remember the biochemical properties of R groups!!).
B. Circle the amino acid in the daisy Cdk that is likely to be the most disruptive to its interaction
with Cdk-activating kinase.
C. Based on the information in Figure 18-25 and what you know about the Cdk1-Cdk-activating
kinase interaction, would you predict that the human Cdk will interact with yeast Cdk-activating
kinase? Explain your reasoning.
