Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 15.11PS
Microtubules and Cell Walls. Genetically engineered plant cells have been produced in which cellulose synthase is labeled with yellow fluorescent protein and α-tubulin is labeled with the cyan fluorescent protein (YFP and CFP are variants of the green fluorescent protein, GFP, that can be distinguished in the fluorescence microscope).
(a) Design an experiment that would show that the positions of cellulose synthase rosettes and microtubules are strongly correlated.
(b) Design an experiment to confirm that microtubules are necessary for correct positioning of cellulose synthase rosettes.

Dynamic instability causes microtubules either to grow or to shrink rapidly. Consider an individual microtubule that is in its shrinking phase.
What would need to happen at the end of the microtubule in order for it to stop shrinking and to start growing again? Be specific!
What would happen if only GDP, but no GTP, were present in the solution?
What would happen if the solution contained an analog of GTP that cannot be hydrolyzed?
.A protein gives a single band on SDS gel electrophoresis, as shown

Mitosis Of A Cell Population. The growth of mitosis of a cell population follows the exponential rule
P(t) = Poe(In(2) · t)
where t is the number of subdivision periods (time), and P(t) is the size at time t.
Given P, = 822,the time required to increase the size of the population by 86%, rounded to 4 decimals, is
equal to

- Exponential expansion? Compare the amount of information inherent in the genome, the proteome, and the glycome.arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The figure shows the number of cells that have clusters of IRE1 molecules after those cells are treated with various levels of thapsigargin (Tg), a chemical that can induce ER stress. IRE1 can form these clusters when ER stress is induced and this clustering can cause activation of RNAse activity in IRE1. In this experiment, normal IRE1 was used (IRE1α) that can bind to Sec61, along with a modified version of IRE1 that binds to Sec61 more weakly than normal IRE1 (wIRE1α), and another modified version that binds to Sec61 more strongly than normal IRE1 (sIRE1α). From this figure you can conclude that: Question 18 options: IRE1 binding to Sec61 promotes the formation of IRE1 clumps IRE1 binding to Sec61 prevents the formation of IRE1 clumps co-translational translocation is a key process the golgi aparatus is heavily involved in the unfolded protein response The…arrow_forwardPlease help me with this question.

For example, a widely used anti-cancer agent, 5-fluorouracil, is a pyrimidine analog that is incorporated into nucleotide form and affects DNA synthesis by inhibiting the activity of [ Select ] ["thymidine kinase", "ribunucleotide reductase"] , the enzyme required to synthesize [ Select ] ["dTMP", "dUMP"] . This inhibition of DNA replication affects both cancer and normal cells, and hence there are serious side effects of these agents including [ Select ] ["immune system suppression", "hyperallergenic reaction"] and damage to the [ Select ] ["lining of the GI tract", "connective tissue of cartilage"] . Methotrexate, was the first drug to actually cure a cancer, choriocarcinoma, in 1958, and serves to block the activity of [ Select ] ["dihydrofolate reductase", "serine hydroxymethyl-transferase"] , another enzyme required for the synthesis of dTMP.arrow_forward
