Like all viral pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, or SARS-CoV 2 (I know, how topical), requires a cell surface receptor in order to invade a given host cell. For SARS-CoV 2, this receptor is actually the enzyme Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2, or ACE2. ACE2 is responsible for downregulation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System by deactivation of Angiotensin II. Explain the RAAS in detail, including the roles played by kidneys and the lungs, and then explain what effects using recombinant human ACE2, or rhACE2, to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome could have on blood pressure.

Various experiments have shown that the SARS CoV-2 is an RNA virus that enter the human cells through a transmembrane receptor called angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and genome sequencing have been cardinal in both diagnosis and research into the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, DNA sequences of both SARS CoV-2 virus and susceptible human hosts are available. As a student of molecular biology and biotechnology, use the above information to answer the following questions.

9.In the study of the proteome of human cells infected with SARS CoV-2 virus, demonstrate how “hybrid release translation (HRT)” or “hybrid arrest translation (HART)” could be employed to differentiate between protein products of SARS CoV-2 and human genomes.

In 1906 Harden and Young, in a series of classic studies on the fermentation of glucose to ethanol and CO2 by extracts of brewer's yeast, made the following observations.

(A) Inorganic phosphate was essential to fermentation; when the supply of phosphate was exhausted, fermentation ceased before all the glucose was used.

(a) glycerol 3-phosphate
(b) 3-phosphoglycerate
(c) dihydroxyacetone phosphate
(d) glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate

Please do not forget to write down all the names of your group members.

1. Please propose the mechanism for α−β C-C bond cleavage of G6P. Draw the mechanism clearly, give the structures of the product, and then explain why steps 2 and 3 of glycolysis are necessary.

2. If glucose is labeled at C1 carbon (the C1 carbon is tagged with radioactive 14C), where would this labeled C atom be (which carbon atom number, draw the structure and label this carbon atom) when glucose has been metabolized to:

A. DHAP

B. GAP (you should be able to figure which carbon atom is the original C1 if you draw the mechanism of step 5)

C. After the reaction with G6PD enzyme (first step in pentose phosphate pathway)

D. After the oxidative decarboxylation step in PPP

E. How many % of the total pyruvate produced via glycolysis will carry this label?

3. A. What would be the fate of glucose in cells that need ATP, but not NADPH and R5P?

B. How about cells that need a lot of NADPH, but not R5P?

C. Finally, what would be the fate of glucose if the cells need a lot of R5P, but not NADPH?

Here are some hints to help you answer Q3.

1) Remember that the reactions in PPP (with the exception of the 3 in oxidative phase) are FULLY reversible.

2) Remember that glycolysis and PPP are linked by the common metabolites: F6P and GAP.

3) Although the stoichiometry of the reactions shown in class is different: glycolysis starts from 1 glucose molecule and PPP needs 3 G6P. In reality, our cells will always have more than 1 glucose molecule. 180 g of glucose (4.5 cans of soft drink) is 6.022 x 1023 molecules of glucose. Bottom line: to answer Q3, please do not worry about stoichiometry and whether there is enough glucose in the cells or not. There is truly plenty of glucose to go to any pathways as needed.

2. (10 pts.) Hexokinase catalyzes the first reaction in glycolysis converting glucose to glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). This reaction, on its own (without the enzyme catalyst), has a ΔG’° = +13.8 kJ/mol, and is written as: Glucose + Pi → Glucose 6-phosphate + H2O The conversion of Glucose to G6P is dependent on the hydrolysis reaction of ATP to ADP, which has a ΔG’° = -30.5 kJ/mol, and is written as: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi The overall conversion of Glucose to G6P, however, is a favorable reaction. This is possible by the coupling of the two reactions above. a. What do the sign and the value of ΔG’° for each reaction tell us about each of the reactions (6/10)? b. What are the two requirements for these reactions to be coupled (4/10)?

During the development of a frog's fertilized egg, the following takes place:

A.

Rapidly dividing cells lead to the formation of the "animal pole" in a region of the egg that is rich in amino acids and nucleic acids precursors.

B.

Cells divide more slowly in the "vegetal pole" as they are located in a region of the egg richer in lipids with fewer amino acids and nucleic acid precursors.

C.

In early stages of development, cells are dividing so fast that the embryo does not increase in volume.

D.

    Atomic Force Microscopy — Similar in principle to light microscopy, but uses an electron beam instead of photons. Enlargement up to 106X and resolution of biological specimens about 1 nm.
