You are studying a cytoskeletal accessory protein, AB2. You believe it is involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis allowing for the entry of a novel virus, SARS-CoV X, into the host cell. To confirm
that AB2 is required for viral entry, you engineer an AB2 protein containing an N-terminal hydrophobic signal sequence and a C-terminal KDEL sequence (AB2-SSKDEL) and express it in human
epithelial airway cells.
You compare cells expressing wild-type (WT) AB2 (lacking the signal sequence and KDEL sequence) with cells expressing AB2-SSKDEL.
You are looking at the entry of a GFP (green) virus into cells.
If AB2 is required for viral entry, via receptor-mediated endocytosis, what results would you expect to see in terms of viral entry?
A. WT AB2 - Green ER
AB2-SSKDEL - No green ER
B. WT AB2-NO green cells
AB2-SSKDEL - Many green cells
OC. WT AB2 - Many green cells
AB2-SSKDEL - NO green cells
D.WT AB2 - Green nuclei
AB2-SSKDEL - No green nuclei

- For each of the following situations, provide a plausible explanation for how it could lead to unrestricted cell division.(a) Colon cancer cells often contain mutations in the gene encoding the prostaglandin E2 receptor. PGE2 is a growth factor required for the division of cells in the gastrointestinal tract.(b) Kaposi sarcoma, a common tumor in people with untreated AIDS, is caused by a virus carrying a gene for a protein similar to the chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. Chemokines are cell-specific growth factors.(c) Adenovirus, a tumor virus, carries a gene for the protein E1A, which binds to the retinoblastoma protein, pRb. (d) An important feature of many oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is their celltype specificity. For example, mutations in the PGE2 receptor are not typically found in lung tumors.
