Which of these mechanisms do cytotoxic t (tc) cells use to destroy a target--that is, deliver a lethal hit?

Cytotoxic T cells use two basic mechanisms to destroy target cells: 1. Cytotoxic T cells release perforins which create pores on the target cells and granzymes which stimulate the apostosis of the target cells by exocytosis. 2. Cytotoxic T cells bind specific membrane receptors on the target cells and stimulate apostosis process which eliminate the target cells.

The answer to this question is PERFORATION OF THE MEMBRANE. Actually, the Cytotoxic T cells are the ones that kill cancer cells, and other cells that are infected or damaged. What this cytotoxic T cells do is that they release cytotoxins and this would result to apoptosis or cell death. How this is effectively done is through the perforation of the membrane.

) Which of the following statements about transcriptional regulators is false? (a) Transcriptional regulators usually interact w

OverLord2011 [107]

The false statement is: (a) Transcriptional regulators usually interact with the sugar–phosphate backbone on the outside of the double helix to determine which DNA sequence to bind.

Transcriptional regulator or factor is protein with the ability to control and regulate gene expression at the transcription level by binding to DNA. Transcriptional factors have domain-DNA-binding domain which contains structural motif that recognizes DNA and it is responsible for the attachment to specific DNA sequence. It usually binds to the DNA major groove (hydrogen bonding) because it is less degenerate than that of the DNA minor groove.

Transcriptional factors also contain trans-activating domain for the binding of other proteins and signal-sensing domain for the detection of external signals.
