Chapter 3, Problem 54RE
THOUGHT QUESTION Imagine we identify a gene that is directly responsible for the effects of vasopressin on male mammals, including humans-we will call it trust1-that leads to the production of a vasopressin receptor in the brain, which we will call TRUST1. There are different versions of trust1, all of which lead to different levels of the behavior associated with this neuropeptide on male behavior. Give some examples where it would be a good idea to know a particular male’s genotype-that is, which of the trust1 genes he has. Give an example of when you think science has gone too far and this information should not be known.

In Chapter 3, the Kd of calmodulin EF hands for binding Ca2+ is given as 10−6 M. Many proteins have much higher affinities for their respective ligands. Why is the specific affinity of calmodulin important for Ca2+ signaling pro- cesses such as that initiated by production of IP3?
Same question but two different sections
One of the pathways required for neural tube closure is the WNT signaling pathway. The WNT receptor WLS and WNT co-receptor TMEM132a are needed for WNT secretion and signaling. Spina bifida (caudal NTD) is seen in WLS homozygous mutant mice (wwTT) as well as in TMEM132a homozygous mutant mice (WWtt).
When a male mouse heterozygous for the Wls mutation (WwTT) is mated with a female mouse heterozygous for the Tmem132a mutation (WWTt), you observe ~25% of the offspring have spina bifida.
A) Of the mice pups from the above cross, what genotype do you predict corresponds to the spina bifida phenotype?
B) Based on your predicted genotype, what is one possible reason that these mice have spina bifida?

- The figure from Moore (2020) shows a G protein-coupled receptor in a membrane. Note that "out" means outside the cell and "in" means facing the cytoplasm. The three amino acids "DRY" in loop I2 are required for protein targeting. What is the name of this kind of sequence, and what is its function? What protein targeting sequence is no longer included in this diagram? Why? The sequence "QXXNK" (where X is any amino acid) found in loop I3 has been identified based on its enzymatic activity. What is this activity? What particular domain would you expect to find in either Loop E1, E2, or E3? The gene that codes for this protein is a member of a family of genes that has arisen over evolutionary time. If you compared several of the genes in this family, would you expect their sequences to be most homologous (similar) in the region you describe in #3 above or #4 above?
