The metabolic fate of fatty acids is dependent on two enzymes, carnitine acyltransferase i and acetyl-coa carboxylase. carnitine

acyltransferase i facilitates the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria for β oxidation, whereas acetyl-coa carboxylase catalyzes the first reaction in the fatty acid synthesis pathway. the amp-activated protein kinase (ampk) regulates the activity of acetyl-coa carboxylase by phosphorylating a specific serine residue. mutation of this regulatory serine to alanine or aspartate would be expected to have different effects on the regulation of acetyl-coa carboxylase. select the statements that describe the expected effects of mutations of the regulatory serine.

The correct answer is the last statement.

If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.

In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.

What is the amino acid sequence for the mRNA strand CACCCAUGGUGA?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon

Explanation:

The mRNA strand in the question is produced as a result of a process called TRANSCRIPTION. However, the mRNA transcript is further used to synthesize an amino acid sequence in a process called TRANSLATION. The mRNA sequence is read in a group of three nucleotide bases called CODON.

Each codon specifies an amino acid which is represented in the GENETIC CODE. In this case, a sequence of mRNA strand is given as: CACCCAUGGUGA

The following codons in the sequence specify the following amino acid:

CAC - Histidine

CCA - Proline

UGG - Tryptophan

UGA - Stop codon

Hence, the amino acid sequence encoded by the given mRNA strand is Histidine- Proline- Tryptophan- Stop codon.

N.B: After a stop codon (UGA, UAA, UAG) is encountered, the translation process stops.
