Answer:

catabolite activator protein (CAP)

Explanation:

Catabolite activator protein (CAP) is a homodimeric transcriptional activator required for transcription initiation of catabolite-sensitive genes in <em>Escherichia coli</em>. CAP contains a ligand-binding domain at its N-terminus and a DNA-binding domain at its C-terminus. CAP activates transcription by binding at target DNA sites on promoter sequences, thereby enhancing the ability of the RNA polymerase to bind and initiate transcription. CAP binds cyclic AMP (cAMP) to increase CAP’s affinity to DNA and thus activates the transcription of genes for catabolism, such as the lactose (lac) operon genes (the lac operon is a set of genes that encode for enzymes taking part in lactose metabolism).

The presence of calcium in the sarcoplasm is directly responsible for __________. Multiple choice 1 decreasing the length of the
xxMikexx [17]
  • The presence of calcium in the sarcoplasm is directly responsible for exposing the binding sites on actin.
  • Rigor mortis occurs after death because detachment of crossbridges does not occur due to the lack of ATP

<h3>What is Sarcoplasm?</h3>

This is defined as the the cytoplasm of striated muscle cells in living organisms .When calcium is present, the binding sites on actin are exposed.

Rigor mortis occurs after death and involves stiffening of the muscle tissue because  detachment of cross bridges does not occur due to the lack of ATP.
