- Tumor cells from a person with leukemia have been analyzed to determine which oncogene is involved in the transformation. After partial sequencing of the gene, the predicted gene product is identified as a tyrosine kinase. Which of the following proteins would most likely be encoded by an oncogene and exhibit tyrosine kinase activity? A. Nuclear transcriptional activator B. Epidermal growth factor C. Membrane-associated G protein D. Platelet-derived growth factor E. Growth factor receptorarrow_forwardMany neurodegenrative diseases are thought to be caused by increased levels of unfolded proteins. Which of the following conditions would you expect to increase unfolded protein levels (select all that apply)? A. Reduced expression of chaperone proteins B. A mutation that inactivates the proteasome C. Increased levels of ubiquitin D. Inactivating mutation in ubiquitin ligase, an enzyme necessary for attaching ubiquitin to proteins in cytosol E. Mutation of N-terminal amino acid from Methionine to Argininearrow_forwardThe use of embryonic stem cells has been proposed for replacing cells that are destroyed by disease or injury. Because of ethical concerns about creating and destroying embryos to produce embryonic stem cells, researchers have attempted to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In this chapter, we discussed studies showing that iPSCs retain some epigenetic marks from the differentiated adult cells from which they were derived. What implications might this research have for attempts to use iPSCs to regrow cells and tissues?arrow_forward

Propose a treatment strategy for LFS.arrow_forwardYou are working in the lab, with a cell-free translational system that contains microsomes. Microsomes are artificial structures derived from pieces of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) formed during tissue homogenization. These microsomes lack the signal recognition particle or SRP. You translate an mRNA that codes for a secretory protein using this system. Which of the following outcomes do you expect? The protein will be synthesized and its signal sequence will be removed The protein will be synthesized and will be incorporated into the microsome O No protein synthesis The protein will be synthesized and will not be incorporated into the microsomearrow_forwardA current focus of molecular medicine is to trigger or promote apoptosis of specific cells. several components of the apoptotic pathways are being targeted using this approach. for each of the following, state specifically how the treatment would be expected to stimulate or inhbit apoptosis. b. exposing cells to recombinant TRAIL protein, a ligand for thr tumor necrosis factor family of receptorsarrow_forward
- Several research studies are under way that involve the use of genetherapies to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Oncogenes are mutant genes that are overexpressed and cause cancer. New gene therapies are aimed at silencing oncogenes by producing antisense RNA that recognizes the mRNAtranscribed from oncogenes. Based on your understanding of antisense RNA , explain how this strategy would prevent the growth of cancer cells.arrow_forwardA strain of bacteria possesses a temperature-sensitive mutation in the gene that encodes the rho subunit. At high temperatures, rho is not functional. When these bacteria are raised at elevated temperatures, which of the following effects would you expect to see? Explain your reasoning for accepting or rejecting each of these five options. a. Transcription does not take place. b. All RNA molecules are shorter than normal. c. All RNA molecules are longer than normal. d. Some RNA molecules are longer than normal. e. RNA is copied from both DNA strands.arrow_forwardYou have developed an activator of a non-receptor tyrosine kinase. In three different cell types that all contain this receptor your drug has different effects. In cell type A you see activation of gene X and gene Y; in cell type B you note activation of Gene X, but no change in the mRNA levels for Gene Y. In cell type C your drug has no effect on either Gene X or Y. Describe how could each choice (A-D) be a possibility to suit the scenario? a. Genes X & Y are controlled by two separate STATs (STAT X & STAT Y). Cell type A contains both STATs; cell type B contains STAT X only; cell type C has neither STAT. b. Genes X & Y are controlled by two separate STATs (STAT X & STAT Y) and two separate JAKs (JAK X & JAK Y).
