Desmosomes

Desmosomes are cell junction that acts as anchors and distributes tension through a cellular sheet and reduces the chance of tearing when it is subjected to great mechanical stress.


Desmosomes are cell structure by which two adjacent cells are joined. Desmosomes are specialized for cell to cell contact and strong adhesion. The inactiveness of desmosomes can lead to diseases of the skin and heart. Desmosomes are found in tissue that undergo high mechanical stress, such as bladder tissue, epithelial, and cardiac muscle tissue.

Answer:

The mentioned case is an illustration of the missense mutation. A missense mutation is a kind of nonsynonymous substitution, that is, it is a mutation in which a variation in a solitary nucleotide leads to the formation of a codon, which encrypts for a distinct kind of amino acid.  

When a missense mutation takes place within a DNA, a modification in one of the RNA codon sequences results at the time of transcription. This change in codon will ultimately result in the formation of a different amino acid, which gets presented within a protein at the time of translation. Like in the given case, a change in codon resulted in the substitution of the amino acid tyrosine with an amino acid cysteine.
