Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a genetic condition that prevents the metabolism of cane sugar (sucrose). This condition can result in, among other things, abdominal cramps and bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and increased susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infections.
A) Suggest a possible molecular mechanism underlying this condition.
B) Based on the mechanism described above, offer a hypothesis as to why this condition may be more severe in some individuals than others.

C)The reduced cofactor important in the TCA cycle and used in the last part of respiration. Please identify the terms.arrow_forward4. Cells sense internal amino acid levels to couple their metabolic state with their gene expres- sion programs. One key regulatory switch that amino acid levels control is expression of the genes required for ribosome biogenesis – all the proteins and RNA molecules that required to generate the small and large ribosomal subunits. Ribosome biogenesis is one of the most resource-intensive pro- cesses in proliferating cells. In order to couple ri- bosome biogenesis – which entails high level syn- thesis of hundreds of proteins – with the availabil- ity of amino acid precursors required to make those proteins, cells evolved a signaling network that converges on a key protein complex in the cell known as MTOR complex 1 (MTORC1). The net result of the signaling network shown in the diagram is that mTORC1 is ultimately activated by the presence of leucine and arginine in the cell (the blunt arrows represent inhibitory interactions; the details are not important here). When MTORC1 is active,…arrow_forwardThe following diagram shows the biosynthesis of B12 coenzymes, starting with the vitamin. DMB is dimethylbenzimidazole.
