Answer:

C. HMG-CoA reductase will be dephosphorylated

Explanation:

When a low density lipoprotein particle is taken up by the cell, the impact it will have on the regulation of de novo cholesterol synthesis will be HMG-CoA reductase being dephosphorylated.

HMG-CoA( 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase) is an enzyme which aids the synthesis of lipids. When the lipids are produced and taken up by the cells then the effect of the synthesis stops to avoid excess synthesis and to allow for the action of enzymes which will act ok them in the cells . This is why it leads to a dephosphorylation of the enzyme which stops the action.

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating _______, which then undergoes _______ to _______, then to _

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which then undergoes phosphorylation to deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP), then to Deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), and incorporated into DNA by the DNA polymerase (DNA pol). Thymine in tRNA arises post-transcriptionally, by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of a uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) residue in RNA.

Explanation:

Thymidylate synthase is an enzyme involved in de novo DNA synthesis. This enzyme (thymidylate synthase) catalyzes the transfer of the one-carbon group from 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-THF) to deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) and subsequent methylation to produce deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is then phosphorylated to deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) by kinases and incorporated into DNA. On the other hand, specific tRNA methylases catalyze the methylation of transference RNA (tRNA) by using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor. Since tRNA methylation is a post-transcriptional modification, this chemical reaction is considered an epitranscriptomic modification on the RNA molecule.
