Suppose there is a protein "A" which binds to a DNA sequence and increases transcription of the gene CBC23. In the presence of m

olecule "C", protein "A" changes structure and can no longer bind to the DNA sequence, resulting in reduced transcription of CBC23. What terms describe "A" and "C" respectively?

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also  known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.

Answer:

A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).

Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.

Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism

What type of amino acids would you expect to find at the core of a water-soluble globular (solid-spherical) protein
PIT_PIT [208]

Hydrophobic amino acids are buried at the core of a water-soluble globular protein.

<h3>What makes globular proteins water soluble?</h3>

Numerous hundreds to thousands of amino acids are used to make proteins. The arrangement of amino acids within a protein molecule determines its ultimate form. A protein molecule is classified into two classes—fibrous proteins and globular proteins—based on its final shape.

The structure of globular proteins resembles a ball or a globe. A globular structure is created by the folding of different amino acid chains. The two most significant globular proteins present in the human body are hemoglobin and myoglobin. The hydrophobic side chains of the amino acids are hidden inside the cores of the domains whereas the hydrophilic side chains are located on the surface of the molecule thanks to the arrangement of the amino acids.

The hydrophobic amino acids can be buried in the center of globular proteins due to interactions between the hydrophobic groups in their side chains. This is the fundamental property of globular proteins that makes them water soluble.

Examples of hydrophobic amino acids are phenylalanine,  alanine, valine, etc.
