1.The same amino acid sequence protein produced in bacteria can have different bioactivity than when produced in mammalian cells. Explain why.

2.Carbohydrate conversion to energy that cells can use has a component that occurs in the cell cytoplasm and a part that occurs in the mitochondria. In cancer cells, how does this get altered?

Expert Solution

Ans 1:- Even the polypeptide sequence is same but the bioactivity changes when protein is expressed in mammalian cells than E.coli. Because, mammalian cells containing various post translation modification like glycosylation, phosphorylation, disulfide bond formation. These post translational modification may change the bioactivity of protein in mammalian cells. In contrast bacterial cells don't have these modifications thus bioactivity is different even if the amino acid sequence remain same.

Ans 2:- The cancer cell have altered metabolism, which cancer cells only uses glycolysis for the production of ATP. These are known as aerobic fermentation or Warburg effect. This effect state that cancer cells alter the metabolism and glycolysis is favored over oxidation phosphorylation. And NADH is regenerated via lactate production. This allow the cancer cell to use a lot of glucose and channelize the pathway towards increased cell mass.

You are provided with the amino acid sequence of an important human protein that is suspected to be membrane protein. How can you analyze the amino acid sequence to try to find out more information on the transmembrane nature of this protein and the region of the protein that is likely to be in the membrane?

List the sequence of structures that a single amino acid (initially in a protein molecule that you eat) goes through from the moment it passes your lips to when it ends up in a hepatocyte. Then explain what (if any) chemicals relevant to digestive physiology it is exposed to at each step and what happens to the protein and eventually protein fragments each step of the way.

Below is the sequence for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that encodes a 1757 amino acid protein capable of binding surface receptors on some cell types. The nucleotide sequence is from base pair 21,563 to 25,384 in the viral genome (numbers in left-most column). Upon binding, the virus is uptaken into the cell, the coat is shed, and viral RNA released into the cytoplasm. When this occurs, host cell ribosomes begin transcription and translation of the RNA, including this protein. In...
