Why does histone deacetylase action tend to repress

Biology
1 answer:
pychu [463]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The histone modification plays an important role in the epigenetic expression of the DNA that is it acts as a switch for transcription.

The histone proteins contain positive amino acids at the end called arginine and lysine. The positive charge on these amino acids helps bind the histone to negatively charged DNA.  

When deacetylase binds the histone, it removes the acetyl group from the lysine which increases the positive charge on the histone thereby binding the "phosphate of DNA" which are negatively charged more tightly. This switch off the transcription.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Histone tails are normally positively charged due to amine groups present on their lysine and arginine amino acids. These positive charges help the histone tails to interact with and bind to the negatively charged phosphate groups on the DNA backbone. Acetylation, which occurs normally in a cell, neutralizes the positive charges on the histone by changing amines into amides and decreases the ability of the histones to bind to DNA. This decreased binding allows chromatin expansion, permitting genetic transcription to take place. Histone deacetylases remove those acetyl groups, increasing the positive charge of histone tails and encouraging high-affinity binding between the histones and DNA backbone. The increased DNA binding condenses DNA structure, preventing transcription

Help pls- <br><br> compare and contrast evaporation and boiling
DENIUS [597]
So the simple answer would be evaporation is slow and can only occur through the surface of a liquid and it cools it down, while boiling is fast and produces bubbles ( evaporation does not ) and it occurs throughout the liquid and doesn’t cool it down. A similarity between the two would be water vapor is given off
Both the processes of evaporation and boiling result in a change from liquid to vapor.

hope this is what u we’re looking for and this helps !! :)

Identify two cell structures involved in modifying and transporting proteins out of the cell. Structure:
Ede4ka [16]

6 & 7

Structure 6 is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum ( RER) while structure 7 is the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

The RER has ribosomes aligning its outer membrane (reason why it's referred to as called rough ER). The ribosomes manufacture polypeptide chains that enter the lumen of the RER. The polypeptide chains are properly folded using chaperones in the lumen of the RER and undergo post-translation modifications, These proteins then undergo Quality Control checks and the proper ones are allowed to proceed to the Golgi apparatus.

Proteins from the RER reach the Golgi apparatus through vesicles that bud off of the <em>trans</em> side of the RER then fuse with the <em>cis </em>side of the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi perform a few more modifications to the proteins  including tagging them for delivery , then packages them. Vesicles carrying the proteins bud off of the <em>trans</em> side of the Golgi and get transported to their destination inside or outside the cell.
