Although tube worms cannot produce their own food, they often thrive around these underwater vents. They are able to survive because inside the tube is the trophosome, an organ that contains millions of bacteria in symbiotic relationship with the worm, which are responsible for feeding these creatures that do not have any type of digestive system or visual organs, as they live in the most absolute darkness.

How would over expression of protein phosphatase 1 affect the induction of cAMP-inducible genes in response to hormone stimulati
finlep [7]

Answer:

The protein phosphatase-1 dephosphorylates the residues of serine, which are phosphorylated by the protein kinase A. The cyclic-AMP inducible genes are stimulated by CREB that is phosphorylated by protein kinase A. Thus, overexpression of protein phosphatase 1 would prevent their induction.  

Although, protein phosphatase 1 would not influence the function of cAMP-gated ligand channels, as these channels are opened directly by binding of cAMP rather than by protein phosphorylation.
