Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The characterstics of CHIP28 that led to the speculation about water transport by Agre and associates.
Introduction: There are various methods of the transportation and the movement of molecules from one region to another region of the cell. It includes various types of transport mechanism like active transport, facilitated transport, endocytosis, passive transport, and so on. Very often more than one transport mechanism is involved in the transport of a solute. Hence, overall rate of the transported solute maybe higher than individual rates of movement of solute.

- You got an opportunity to join a professor lab who is working in-vivo model and specifically looking at the dysregulation of mitochondria in liver. He asked you to isolate mitochondria from a Rat liver and placed in an assay medium. Based on the knowledge you gain in this course so far, please answer the following questions: a) Which technique will you use to isolate mitochondria? b) What happens to the pH of the medium when the medium is kept anaerobic? c) What happens when O2-saturated saline is added to the mixture?arrow_forwardPart A Shown above is a schematic diagram of the E. coli leader peptidase (Lep) which has several basic amino acids in a cytoplasmic loop.

- You are studying the uptake of L-leucine by epithelial cells of the mouse intestine. Measurements of the rates of uptake of L-leucine and severalof its analogs, with and without Na+ in the assay buffer, yield the results given in the table below. What can you conclude about the properties and mechanism of the leucine transporter? Would you expect L-leucine uptake to be inhibited by ouabain?arrow_forwardIn the "biochemical assay of b-galactosidase activity", what is o-nitrophenyl-b-D-galactosidase (ONPG) used for? O When ONPG is cleaved by b-galactosidase, we are able to assay b-galactosidase activity. O It provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. It partially disrupts the cell membrane to allow cellular proteins to diffuse out of the cell. O ONPG cleaves the b-galactosidase that is made by the lac operon so we can see how much activity there is in the cell. ONPG cleaves galactose so we can measure how much lactose there is in the cell.arrow_forwardGenetic testing of a 29-month-old boy shows a mutation in the Phe residue at position 508 in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTCR) gene. Cultured skin fibroblasts from the boy contain an abnormal form of CFTCR protein bound to ubiquitin.

C) Based on the information obtained, how many bands will you observe if you run a solution of the spike oligomer in an SDS-PAGE get and in a native gel?arrow_forwardAntibiotics that target bacterial molecules not previously exploited are desperately needed. One such target is the protein FtsZ. The small molecule 3-methoxybenzamide (3-MBA) is known to inhibit FtsZ in Bacillus subtilis but is not bacteriocidal. Nonetheless, researchers reasoned that 3-MBA offered a good starting point for the synthesis of a molecule that might be a potential drug candidate. Over 500 3-MBA analogues were synthesized and screened; one called PA190723 was extremely potent in its capacity to bind FtsZ and inhibit bacterial growth. In fact, when used in a mouse model, PA190723 was bacteriocidal against methicillinand multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. What makes FtsZ a good drug target? What preliminary information about 3-MBA would be helpful if you were designing the 3-MBA analogues? As these researchers move forward with clinical (human) testing, what other parameters and outcomes must be assessed besides the bacteriocidal activity of PA190723?arrow_forwardIn an in vitro motility assay, a newly discovered motor protein is found to transport an attached bead along a microtubule away from the end where fluorescent labeled tubulin dimers assembled.
