Protein synthesis has been completed after assemble of amino acid sequences of protein (primary structure). Proteins are functionally active when they become folded (secondary and tertiary structures). In quaternary structure, protein can be associated with other chains of proteins or binds with other nonprotein molecules like vitamins or carbohydrates. Chaperones are proteins, some of them are called as stress or heat shock proteins. Ribosomes assemble newly synthesized proteins guided by chaperones. Chaperone regulates the folding of new protein in a proper shape to prevent from unnecessary association with other proteins.

A research laboratory uses a cancer cell line that has undergone thousands of cell cycle divisions in the laboratory without any change in the length of its chromosomes. The most likely reason the chromosomes aren’t shortening is that the cancer cells are expressing Select one: a. very low levels of telomerase. b. high levels of telomerase. c. high levels of RNA polymerase. d. DNA polymerases with high fidelity. e. high levels of ligase activity.

A cell is homozygous for a LOF mutation in the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) gene. Which of the following is/are true? a. Chromatin in the cell will be more condensed than usual, decreasing expression of genes that should be expressed. b. This will lead to histones with more positive charges on their tails, increasing the interaction between histones and the DNA backbone. c. This will lead to a decrease in DNA methylation and therefore cause an increase in gene expression. d. Chromatin in the cell will be less condensed than usual, increasing expression of genes that should not be expressed.

The p53 gene was discovered in 1979, but it was not clear whether the gene functioned as an oncogene or a tumor-suppressor gene. Several years later, researchers showed that both p53 alleles are inactivated in some mouse cancers. This evidence suggests A. the p53 gene is an oncogene because inactivated alleles would produce mutated signal transduction proteins that would result in stimulating cell division. B. the p53 gene is an oncogene because the cell would overproduce transcription factors to compensate for the inactive alleles, resulting in increased cell division. C. the p53 gene is a tumor-suppressor gene because inactivated alleles indicate a loss of protein function which allowed the cancer to develop D. the p53 gene is a tumor-suppressor gene because the cell would produce too few transcription factors for gene activation, resulting in decreased cell division.
