c) Suppose you isolated a mutant form of the Apr2/3 complex that did not require a mother filament to bind to in order to nucleate actin filament assembly. How would you expect the mutant form to behave (that is, what would you expect to observe) in:

1) a TIRF assay of actin filament assembly

2) a migrating cell

Briefly explain your answers

Actin-Related Proteins ARP2 and ARP3, the structure of monomeric actin and serve as nucleation sites for new actin filaments. But in mutant ARP2/3 its normal function is disrupted.

1) a TIRF assay of actin filament assembly:- Total internal reflection fluorescence microscope, is mainly used for investigating molecule trafficking and how it occurs e.g. in cytoskeleton assembly.

So, as we know arp2/3 is a major component of the actin cytoskeleton and is found in most actin cytoskeleton-containing eukaryotic cells and helps their assembly. But here arp2/3 prptein in mutated, so in TIRF study proper molecular trafficking in not indicating, also some abnormal results observed. Cellular functions abnormality is also observed.

2) a migrating cell:-

We know that during cell migration cytoskeleton and actin filaments are play a major role . But for the mutated ARP2/3 these all functions are show abnormality. The abnormal regulation also observed, like cell locomotion, phagocytosis, and intracellular motility of lipid vesicles not done properly. Thus It also cause the death of the cells.

I hope this answer will definitely help you. Please give me likes. All the best. THANK YOU STAY SAFE.

You have two mutant cells, in which the first mutant cell cannot form dimers, and the second mutant cell lacks the kinase function. What would happen if you if you add Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK-s) signals to these overexpressed cells, when these two mutant cells already have the Receptor tyrosine kinases already, and respond normally to signals in signal transduction. What will happen in terms of signal transduction in these two cells? Will two mutated cells, one with no kinase...

You just isolated a new strain of mutant mice, and preliminary mating suggest that the new mutant phenotype is not inherited in an autosomal fashion. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate that the mutant phenotype may be following either an X-linked dominant or a mitochondrial-type inheritance pattern. a.) What two informative crosses would you set up to distinguish between these two possibilities? b.) How would the results distinguish between the two possibilities?

Wild-type E. coli can grow on minimal medium. You have isolated a mutant strain of E. coli that grows poorly in minimal medium that contains lactose and arabinose and lacks glucose. In ONPG-containing minimal medium lacking glucose the mutant strain produces very low levels of b-galactosidase activity in both the absence and presence of IPTG. The strain does not grow well when transformed with a plasmid containing the lacZ and lacY genes. The strain also does not grow well when...
