What are zinc fingers, and why are they frequently encountered in descriptions of genetic regulation in eukaryotes?

Biology
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A zinc finger is also known as zinc-binding repeats or ZnF that are molecular scaffold which is characterized by the coordination of Zn²⁺ ions so it can stabilize the fold.

The zinc fingers consist of several amino acid sequence 2 histidine and 2 cysteine residues at intervals. These residues bind to the zinc atom covalently and form finger-like motifs.

They are a major family of eukaryotic transcription factors. These are identified in a significant regulatory state such as developmental control genes and proto-oncogene by binding to the DNA, RNA, or protein.

Metabolic pathways can be controlled through the availability of enzymes and modulation of their catalytic activities. Enzyme av
postnew [5]

Answer: a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification

Explanation:

Metabolic pathways involve all the chemical processes takes place in the enviornment or in an organisms.The metabolic pathways are controlled through the catalytic activities of enzymes.

The availability of enzyme is regulated  by substrate and cofactors present in enzyme and enzyme activity is commonly regulated via covalent modification.

Enzymes are highly selective in nature and bind to a specific substarte only. The active site in enzyme binds with the substrate to form enzyme substrate complex. Coactors assist the enzyme activity, without cofactor enzyme can not perform its activity.

Hence enzyme availibility is regulated by  substrate and cofactors regulates.

Covalent modifications regulates activity of enzyme as it involves addition and removal of chemical group to synthesis required protein. It can change the chemical properties of the site by targeting one or multiple amino acid.

Thus the correct answer is a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification
