Question
Chapter 3.6, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference in the interaction between two proteins if the structure of one protein is altered.
Introduction: Tertiary or quaternary proteins are of different type like: globular proteins, enzymes and so on. These proteins interact or bind with each other by the different type of forces like (hydrogen bonds, Van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic bonds). The interaction between an enzyme and its substrate or interaction between two globular proteins all these interactions include bond formation.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disorder caused by different types of mutations, many of which prevent ions from moving across cell membranes. Normally there are channel proteins that allow passage of the ions, but in patients with one kind of CF these proteins seem odd. Closer examination shows that these proteins display the correct amino acid sequence. However, they fail to do their job. A) Given that the primary structure of the protein is correct, what can you infer about the DNA sequence for the gene coding this protein on this patient, is there a mutation? Explain. B) Why is the primary structure insufficient to guarantee the proper function of the protein?
A recent genome sequencing project for the bacterium Burkholderia mallei has identified a new protein with high similarity to the lysylphosphatidylglycerol flippase enzyme.

Suppose that one glutamate residue at some specific position in the helix were mutated to a leucine residue. The mutation could either make the helix more stable, or less stable. i) Describe two situations in which a Glu-to-Leu mutation could make the helix more stable. ii) Describe two situations in which the Glu-to-Leu mutation could make the helix less stable.

- What is single-cell protein? Explain the reasons for the removal or reduction of nucleic acid in Single Cell Protein.arrow_forwardA normal polypeptide and a mutant of the polypeptide were hydrolyzed by an endopeptidase under the same conditions. The normal and mutantpolypeptide differ by one amino acid. The fingerprints of the peptides obtained from the two polypeptides are shown below. What kind of amino acid substitution occurred as a result of the mutation? (That is, is the substituted amino acid more or less polar than the original amino acid? Is its pI lower or higher?) (Hint: Photocopy the fingerprints, cut them out, and overlay them.)arrow_forwardIn most cases, mutations in the core of a protein that replace a smaller nonpolar side chain in the wild-type (e.g., Ala, Val) with a larger nonpolar side chain (e.g., Leu, Ile, Phe, Trp) in the mutant, result in significant destabilization and misfolding of the mutant. What feature of the protein core explains this observation? Why would such a mutation prevent a protein from folding properly?arrow_forward

(b) Repeat for a 1000-residue protein.arrow_forwardWhat makes the initiator tRNAmet so special? Does this have any impact on the amino acid sequence of all proteins?arrow_forwardThe sequence of kassinin, a tachykinin dodecapeptide from the African frog Kassina senegalensis, was determined. A single round of Edman degradation identifies Asp as the N-terminus. A second sample of the peptide is treated with chymotrypsin. Two fragments are released with the following amino acid compositions: fragment I (Gly, Leu, Met, Val) and fragment II (Asp2,Gln, Lys, Phe, Pro, Ser, Val). Next, a third sample of the peptide is treated with trypsin, which results in two fragments with the following amino acid compositions: fragment III (Asp, Pro, Lys, Ser) and fragment IV (Asp, Gln, Gly, Leu, Met, Phe, Val2). Treatment of another sample with elastase yields a single Gly residue and three fragments—fragment V (Leu, Met), fragment VI (Asp,Lys, Pro, Ser, Val), and fragment VII, which was sequenced: Asp–Gln–Phe–Val. A fourth sample was treated with CNBr, but the dodecapeptide was not cleaved.arrow_forward

In case #1 the disulfide forms between Cys residues that have been introduced near the protein N- and C-termini, and in case #2 the disulfide forms between Cys residues that have been introduced in the middle of the protein sequence.
