What is CAP?How does CAP work?

Biology
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The Escherichia coli catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) is a DNA binding protein involved with the transcription of several genes, including those that code for enzymes involved in the metabolism of certain sugars (i.e. lactose, maltose, and arabinose.) <u>Basically, CAP is responsible for the global regulation of carbon utilization.</u> Upon binding cAMP, CAP binds to a conserved DNA sequence from which it can either activate or repress transcription initiation from various promoters. In some cases clusters of several promoters are all controlled by a single cAMP-CAP complex bound to the DNA.

Once CAP has bound cAMP, the protein exhibits a higher affinity for a specific conserved DNA sequence. When the intracellular level of cAMP increases, the second messenger is bound by CAP and the cAMP-CAP complex binds to the DNA. Once bound, it is able to stimulate the transcription of the aforementioned genes. DNA bound by the CAP-cAMP complex is bent by ~90 degrees. This DNA bend, coupled with a protein-protein interaction between CAP and RNA polymerase is thought to be the mechanism by which CAP regluates transcription initiation on the chromosome.

Plants prefer to absorb<br> nitrogen in what form?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Nitrate

Explanation:

is the form of nitrogen most used by plants for growth and development. Nitrate is the form that can most easily be lost to groundwater. Ammonium taken in by plants is used directly in proteins. This form is not lost as easily from the soil.

How is electricity generated in the simulation?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

(LONG RESPONSE!)

In this work, several simulations and analyses are carried out to investigate the feasibility of generating electricity from underwater sea currents at Istanbul Bosphorus Strait. Bosphorus is a natural canal which forms a border between Europe and Asia by connecting Black Sea and Marmara Sea. The differences in elevation and salinity ratios between these two seas cause strong marine currents. Depending on the morphology of the canal the speed of the flow varies and at some specific locations the energy intensity reaches to sufficient levels where electricity generation by marine current turbines becomes economically feasible.

In this study, several simulations are performed for a 10 MW marine turbine farm/cluster whose location is selected by taking into account several factors such as the canal morphology, current speed and passage of vessels. 360 different simulations are performed for 15 different virtual sea states. Similarly, 8 different configurations are analyzed in order to find the optimum spacing between the turbines. Considering the spatial variations in the current speed within the selected region, the analyses are performed for three different flow speeds corresponding to ±10% change in the average value. For each simulation the annual energy yield and cluster efficiency are calculated.

Margaret [11]
<span>The answer would be: Continue patient care by getting a complete SAMPLE history and perform a complete secondary assessment.

If the reading of glucose test is normal, then you can exclude hypoglycemia from the possible diagnosis. Because the patient is accompanied by his mother, you can ask a brief history to exclude other possible diagnosis and complete secondary assessment before further help comes. The information would be beneficial to the healthcare personnel that will comes for help.
