An actin-binding protein called cofilin binds preferentially to ADP-containing actin filaments rather than ATP-containing actin

filaments. Based on this preference, which is true? Question 7 options: Cofilin binds to the plus ends of treadmilling actin filaments. Cofilin competes with profilin for binding to actin. Cofilin binds to older actin filaments. Cofilin binds to the plus ends of actin filaments.

Answer:

Cofilin binds to older actin filaments

Explanation:

Microfilaments (also called actin filaments) are a class of protein filament common to all eukaryotic cells, which consist of two strands of subunits of the protein actin. Microfilaments form part of the cell's cytoskeleton and interact with the protein myosin in order to allow the movement of the cell. Within the cell, actin may show two different forms: monomeric G-actin and polymeric F-actin filaments. Microfilaments provide shape to the cell because these filaments can depolymerize (disassemble) and polymerize (assembly) quickly, thereby allowing the cell to change its shape. During the polymerization process, the ATP that is bound to G-actin is hydrolyzed to ADP, which is bound to F-actin. ATP-actin subunits are present at the barbed ends of the filaments, and cleavage of the ATP molecules produces highly stable filaments bound to ADP. In consequence, it is expected that cofilin binds preferentially to highly stable (older) filaments ADP-actin filaments instead of ATP-actin filaments.

Answer:

relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

A nucleotide can be defined as an organic molecule which forms the building block of nucleic acid such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Basically, nucleotide comprises of the following parts;

1. Nitrogenous base: this includes adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) which are mainly found in the DNA while adenine (A), guanine (G), uracil (U) and cytosine (C) are found in the RNA.

2. A phosphate group.

3. A penrose sugar: it is either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA.

The two parts or chemical components of a nucleotide which do not change throughout the structure of DNA are;

I. Five-Carbon Sugar also known as deoxyribose and it has hydrogen on its second carbon.

II. Phosphate: this is the structural backbone that provides support to DNA.

Histones are a group of highly basic proteins that are mainly associated with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of a living organism and are responsible for condensing it to chromatin.

Typically, acetylation of histone tails leads to relaxed packaging of the chromatin and increased transcription.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.
