Thousands of caspase substrateshave been identified. Which onesare the critical proteins that mustbe cleaved to trigger the majorcell remodeling events underlyingapoptosis?
It is not an easy matter to assign particular func-tions to specific components of the basal lamina, sincethe overall structure is a complicated composite materialwith both mechanical and signaling properties. Nidogen,for example, cross-links two central components of thebasal lamina by binding to the laminin γ-1 chain and totype IV collagen. Given such a key role, it was surprisingthat mice with a homozygous knockout of the gene fornidogen-1 were entirely healthy, with no abnormal phe-notype. Similarly, mice homozygous for a knockout of thegene for nidogen-2 also appeared completely normal. Bycontrast, mice that were homozygous for a defined muta-tion in the gene for laminin γ-1, which eliminated just thebinding site for nidogen, died at birth with severe defectsin lung and kidney formation. The mutant portion of thelaminin γ-1 chain is thought to have no other functionthan to bind nidogen, and does not affect laminin struc-ture or its ability to assemble into the basal lamina.…
In contrast to their similar brain abnormalities,newborn mice deficient in Apaf1 or caspase-9 have dis-tinctive abnormalities in their paws. Apaf1-deficient micefail to eliminate the webs between their developing digits,whereas caspase-9-deficient mice have normally formeddigits (Figure Q18–1). If Apaf1 and caspase-9 function inthe same apoptotic pathway, how is it possible for thesedeficient mice to differ in web-cell apoptosis?
The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene Rb (RB1) codes forthe retinoblastoma protein (pRB). pRB prevents the progression of the cell cycle through G1 if DNA has been damaged. Itdoes so in part because it binds a transcription-activatingdimer referred to as E2F-DP. The pRB-E2F/DP complex recruits a histone deacetylase to chromatin. Explain.

Mutations/deficiencies in protein components of the ECM, CAMS, and cell junctions are involved in the expression of some human diseases. List and describe these pathologies in the table below. An example is given in the fırst row. Name of disease Symptoms Molecular Basis of Disease Severe vitamin C deficiency is caused by ascorbic acids' role in collagen synthesis. Vitamin C allows Anemia, debility, exhaustion, spontaneous hydroxylation and crosslinking of pro-collagen bleeding, pain in the limbs, and especially catalyzed by lysyl hydroxylase. Lack of vitamin C decreases transcription of pro-collagen. Additionally, a lack of ascorbic acid leads to epigenetic DNA hypermethylation and inhibits the transcription of various types of collagen found in skin, blood vessels, the legs, swelling in some parts of the body, and sometimes ulceration of the gums and loss of teeth Scurvy and tissue. 1 2 3 5 4.

Suppose that in the formation of phenylalanine hydroxylase mRNA, the exons of the pre-mRNA fail to splice together properly and the resulting enzyme is nonfunctional. This produces an accumulation of high levels of phenylalanine and other compounds, which causes neurological damage. What phenotype would be produced in the affected individual?
