Question
Chapter 36, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The velocity of the helicase and the kinesin should be compared.
Concept introduction:
The helicase is an enzyme. This enzyme is involved in the separation of the DNA double helix at the time of replication. The kinesin is a class of motor protein in eukaryotic cells. They are powered by the ATP molecules in the cells and they move along the microtubule filaments.

Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine)
a. What is the basis of inhibition by cordycepin?
b. Why is poly(A) synthesis more sensitive than the synthesis of other
RNAS to the presence of cordycepin?
c. Does cordycepin need to be modified to exert its effect?
Backward? Bacteriophage T7 helicase moves along DNA in the 5'-to-
3'5'-to-3' direction. Other helicases have been reported to move in
the 3'-to-5'3'-to-5' direction. Is there any fundamental reason why
you would expect helicases to move in one direction or the other?
proteins. Which of the following will tell you whether a protein would be found in the lumen of the ER?
A. You run a hydropathy plot an look for hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids
B. You isolate microsomes and see whether the proteins are inserted into the membrane of the microsome
C. You run a hydropathy plot an look for a lack of hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids
O D. You do in vitro translation of each protein in the presence or absence of microsomes and look to see whether there is a size change in the presence
of microsomes.

- . Pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) is a nuclease that makes single-strand nicks on double-stranded DNA. It has been observed that treatment of nucleosomal core particles with DNase I yields a peculiar result.

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
