What is CAP?How does CAP work?

Biology
1 answer:
malfutka [58]3 years ago

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.

In an enzyme immunoassay, the enzyme
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

is bound to the constant region of the secondary antibody.

Explanation:

Enzyme immunoassays are the techniques used to detect the presence of antigens with the help of antibodies. Each of the antibody molecules has a constant and variable region.

The primary antibodies are added to the wells. The constant region of the secondary antibody is bound to an enzyme while its variable region is free so that it can bind to the specific antigen.

Addition of substrate to the system is followed by visualization and/or evaluation of antigen as the reaction between enzyme and substrate produce some visible changes such as color change.

<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!

Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.

Active Transport 
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).

Phagocytosis 
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.

Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.

Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>
