Which of the following is most critical for the association between histones and DNA?

Biology
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - Histones are positively charged.

Explanation:

Histone is an octamer that is made up of four proteins and each protein has 2 copies. These proteins are H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Histone proteins are mainly made up of positively charged amino acids like arginine and lysine which gives histone proteins an overall positive charge.

This positive charge of histone plays important role in the binding of DNA around it because phosphate group present in the DNA makes DNA negatively charged molecules that are attracted by positively charged histone protein by electrostatic interaction.

This interaction results in the wrapping of DNA around the histone proteins and then compaction of DNA into chromatin. Therefore the right answer is- histones are positively charged.

Which is a mechanism for restricting the movement of proteins in the plasma membrane? Choose one or more:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The correct answers are option A. "tethering proteins to the cell cortex", B. "using barriers such as tight junctions", C. "tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix", D. "forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids", E. "tethering proteins to the surface of another cell"

Explanation:

According to the fluid-mosaic model, the components of cell membranes are in constant movement forming a barrier to avoid unwanted exterior component internalization and to avoid the loss of precious internal components. This constant movement could cause that proteins move across the plasma membrane. But, this is avoided by several mechanisms including:

A. Tethering proteins to the cell cortex. The cell cortex is a rigid structure made of actin and actomyosin. Proteins found in the plasma membrane are tethered to this structure to restrict their movement.

B. Using barriers such as tight junctions. Tight junctions are barriers found in epithelia made of claudin and occludin proteins. These barriers are impenetrable, which avoid the movement of proteins in the cell membrane.

C. Tethering proteins to the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is made of several proteins and macromolecules that provide a structural and biochemical support to cells that are nearby. Proteins could be tethered to this rigid structure as well.

D. Forming a covalent linkage with membrane lipids. The proteins in the cell membrane that form a covalent linkage with membrane lipids are known as lipid-anchored proteins, or lipid-linked proteins.

E. Tethering proteins to the surface of another cell. When cell-cell communication take place it is possible that proteins in the cell membrane got tethered to the surface of the other cell.
