What is the product of the psbc gene? what is its function?

Biology

Annette [7]3 years ago
6 0
The structure of the rye chloroplast DNA, which contains psbC gene coding for 43-kDa chlorophyll(a)-binding subunit of photosystem II, is determined. The sequence of trnS (UGA) gene encoding tRNA Ser is located at a distance of 140 bp downstream from the stop codon of psbC gene on the opposite DNA strand. The 5'-terminal part of psbC gene, like in other plants, overlaps by 50 bp the 3'-terminal region of psbD gene coding for D2 protein of photosystem II. The amino acid sequence of the psbC gene product reveals common features with the structure of the psbB gene product (CPa-1 protein). The structural similarity of these two proteins seems to reflect their similar functions.

Why is it important to have MET at the beginning of mRNA?
astra-53 [7]
The Beginning of mRNA Is Not Translated
Interestingly, not all regions of an mRNA molecule correspond to particular amino acids. In particular, there is an area near the 5' end of the molecule that is known as the untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence. This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein (Figure 3).

So, what is the purpose of the UTR? It turns out that the leader sequence is important because it contains a ribosome-binding site. In bacteria, this site is known as the Shine-Dalgarno box (AGGAGG), after scientists John Shine and Lynn Dalgarno, who first characterized it. A similar site in vertebrates was characterized by Marilyn Kozak and is thus known as the Kozak box. In bacterial mRNA, the 5' UTR is normally short; in human mRNA, the median length of the 5' UTR is about 170 nucleotides. If the leader is long, it may contain regulatory sequences, including binding sites for proteins, that can affect the stability of the mRNA or the efficiency of its translation.

How can humans be genetically modified
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

It looks like there are two main ways to modify humans :)

Explanation:

1. <em>Somatic genetic modification</em> would be the direct way to genetically modify through adding or cutting some of the cells of an existing person usually to alleviate a medical condition (but the results are not hereditary)

<em>2</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Germline</em><em> </em><em>genetic</em><em> </em><em>mod</em><em>ification</em> is also a direct way to genetically modify but instead using molecular engineering techniques (this would be hereditary)

How large may an air mass be?
denis23 [38]
Everything has mass. The mass of something never changes. 

Mass is measured using grams.

Air is not that heavy, but it certainly has mass because it takes up space.

For every one liter of air, their is 1.19 grams.
