The pathway shown below is used by a fungus to create Arginine from a precursor starter molecule. A nonsense mutation occurs in the gene that encodes enzyme 2. This fungus is grown on media that only contains the precursor. Discuss the effects of this mutation on:(i) The function of Enzyme 2 (ii) The potential of the fungus to produce Ornithine
Under cellular conditions, dATP can be oxidized to its 2-hydroxy form, which is a substrate for an enzyme that converts 2-OH-dATP to 2-OH-dAMP + PPi. Explain why compounds that inhibit the activity of this enzyme would be eff ective anticancer agents.
