A variety of organic chelating ligands have been synthesized to tightly coordinate radioactive metal cations to identify and treat malig- nancies by coupling the metal complex to a polypeptide linker attached to a monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to a cell surface re- ceptor. One such metal complex is illustrated in the diagram on the right. The radioactive Cu-64 cation is tightly coordinated by the che- lating ligand that is, in turn, conjugated to a peptide linker attached to a monoclonal antibody. (The antibody is not shown in this diagram.) When coupled to a specifically designed monoclonal antibody, the complex binds specifically to somatostatin receptors that are ex- pressed on the surface of neuroendocrine tumors. Subsequently the entire complex with the receptor is internalized, i.e., passed into the cytoplasm, where the radioactive metal cation kills the malignant cell. 1.

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?
In an experimental motile fibroblast cell line, Nucleation Promoting Factor (NPF) was mutated in such a way that it no longer could bind to the G-actin monomers. Which of the following would you observe in these cells as a consequence of the mutation at the molecular level? None of the other is true. The cell will not be able to form branching of the actins using Arp2/3 complex at the leading edge and causing movement arrest The filamin protein will not be recruited for crosslinking the actins and will cause the arrest of movement. The Arp2/3 and filamin will not be able to dissociate from actin in the absence of NPF and the cells will be restricted to move in one direction only
CTP synthetase catalyzes the glutamine-dependent conversion of UTP to CTP. The enzyme is allosterically inhibited by the product, CTP. Mammalian cells defective in this allosteric inhibition are found to have a complex phenotype: They require thymidine in the growth medium, they have unbalanced nucleotide pools, and they have an elevated spontaneous mutation rate. Explain the likely basis for these observations.
The steroid progesterone has an important role in the female reproductive system. Researchers interested in studying membrane progestin receptors (MPRS) developed a method to produce and purify the protein in active form. First, the researchers devised a way to prepare a specific MPR known as hMPRA using the machinery of yeast cells. In order to facilitate purification and identification in later studies, they manipulated the yeast cells so that they attached two different tags to the C-terminal end of the protein. The first tag, Compound 1, is a peptide sequence that acts as an epitope, part of a much larger peptide sequence that is recognized by the immune system. The second sequence consisted of six consecutive histidine residues (His). This sequence binds tightly to Ni2+ cations. In chromatography, (His), tag labeled proteins can be eluted from Ni²+. supported columns by adding a small molecule to the eluent that mimics the side chain of histidine.…
Which of the following correctly describes the regulation and activity of HIF-1? Group of answer choices VHL is required for preventing degradation of HIF-1alpha and promoting translocation to the nucleus In normoxia, HIF-1alpha is ubquitinated and degraded in the proteasome Hypoxic conditions result in increase hydroxylation of prolines in HIF-1alpha The primary function of HIF-1 is to phosphorylate and activate glycolytic enzymes

The distal Histidine (His 64) in myoglobin is subjected to three different mutations, this is one of them: H64N. (Histidine to Aparagine) For the mutation, draw a theoretical binding curve and CO relative to the O2 and CO binding curves for wild-type Mb (see example below). Provide a clear rationale for the binding curve.
b. Compounds A, B, C, and D are known to be intermediates in the pathway for production of protein E. To determine where the block in protein-E production occurred in each individual, the various intermediates were given to each individuals cel Is in culture. After a few weeks of growth with the intermediate, the cells were assayed for the production of protein E. The results for each individuals cells are given in the following table. A plus sign means that protein E was produced after the cells were given the intermediate listed at the top of the column. A minus sign means that the cells still could not produce protein E even after being exposed to the intermediate at the top of the column. Denote the point in the pathway in which each individual is blocked.

One form of anemia results when individuals have a deficiency in the enzyme phosphatidylinositol glycan A (PIGA). This enzyme is required for the membrane attachment of proteins anchored by glycolipids to the plasma membrane, using what is called a ‘GPI-linkage.’ Included in the group of GPI-linked cell surface proteins is DAF/CD55. These individuals become anemic because: DAF/CD55 prevents the lysis of red blood cells by infecting pathogens. DAF/CD55 normally prevents the spleen from clearing healthy red blood cells from the circulation. In the absence of PIGA, the red blood cell membrane is bare of proteins allowing increased access of complement activating proteins to attach to the cell membrane. DAF/CD55 is a complement inhibitory protein that inactivates any C3 convertase that may form on host cell surfaces. In the absence of PIGA, red blood cells are unable to synthesize high levels of hemoglobin.
Compounds A, B, C, and D are known to be intermediates in the pathway for production of protein E. To determine where the block in protein-E production occurred in each individual, the various intermediates were given to each individual’s cell in culture. After a few weeks of growth with the intermediate, the cells were assayed for the production of protein E. The results for each individual’s cells are given in the following table. A plus sign means that the protein E was produced after the cells were given the intermediate listed at the top of the column. A minus sign means that the cells still could not produce protein E even after being exposed to the intermediate at the top of the column. a) If an individual who is homozygous for the mutation found in individual 2 and heterozygous for the mutation found in individual 4 mates with an individual who is homozygous for the mutation found in individual 4 and heterozygous for the mutation found in individual 2, what could the…
