Following antigenic stimulation, phosphorylation of _________ relieves inhibition of the transcription factor
Answer: zap70, ITAM.
Explanation:
An antigen is any substance that is capable of stimulating an immune response by activating lymphocytes, which are the body’s infection-fighting white blood cells. Examples of antigens could be proteins that are part of bacteria or viruses or components of serum and red blood cells from other individuals, all of them are foreign antigens originated outside the body. However, there can also be autoantigens (which are self-antigens), originated within the body. In normal conditions, the body is able to distinguish self from nonself. And the antigens that represent a danger induces an immune response by stimulating the lymphocytes to produce antibody or to attack the antigen directly. This is called an antigenic stimulation of the immune system.
ZAP-70 (Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70) is a protein that is part of the T cell receptor, thereby it plays a critical role in T-cell signaling. When the TCR (receptor of T cells) is activated by the presentation of the specific antigen through the MHC, a protein called Lck acts to phosphorylate the intracellular CD3 chains and the ζ chains of the TCR complex, allowing the binding of the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, ZAP-70. Lck then phosphorylates and activates ZAP-70, which in turn phosphorylates another molecule in the signaling cascade called LAT (short for Linker of Activated T cells), a transmembrane protein that serves as an anchor site for several other proteins. The tyrosine phosphorylation cascade initiated by the Lck culminates in the intracellular mobilization of calcium ion (Ca2+) and the activation of important signaling cascades within the lymphocytes. These include the Ras-MEK-ERK pathway, which is based on activating certain transcription factors such as NFAT, NFκB and AP-1. These transcription factors regulate the production of of certain gene products, most notably cytokines such as interleukin-2 that promote the long-term proliferation and differentiation of activated lymphocytes.
The ITAM motifs (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif) are sequences of four amino acids present in the intracellular tails of certain proteins that serve as receptors within the immune system. Thus, some receptors such as the TCR have ITAM sequences that, when activated, trigger an intracellular reaction based on consecutive phosphorylations. Kinases are recruited for this purpose.
So, ZAP-70 is a protein tyrosine kinase with a role in T-cell receptor signal transduction. During T-cell activation, ZAP-70 binds to ITAM and becomes tyrosine phosphorylated. The binding of ZAP-70 to the phosphorylated ITAM is able to activate its kinase activity, and relieves the inhibition of the transcription factor which regulates genes that are involved in the immune reaction.
Based on the data table below, which number would be the BEST choice for the top number of the scale on the vertical axis of a scatter plot showing this data?
Answer:
D. 70
Explanation:
From the table given, we can easily tell that distance (m) is dependent on time (s). Distance is a dependent variable, while time is an independent variable.
If both variables were to be plotted to show the relationship between them on a scatter plot, the dependent variable is usually plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis), while the independent variable would be plotted on the horizontal axis (x-axis).
Distance would be in the vertical axis, while time would be in the horizontal axis.
Therefore, the BEST choice for the top number of the scale on the vertical axis would certainly be 70, because the highest value for distance (m) on the table of values is 69.

When discussing magnetic fields we could say that
metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields
O metals are magnets because they have more electrons than non-magnetic materials
O non-paired electrons spin in opposite directions creating a magnetic field
the spinning electrons in some atoms pair up and create a magnetic field
Answer:
Explanation:
metal can become magnetic if they have many spinning electron. When the majority of atoms spin in the same direction the strong magnetic field is produced the direction of electron spin determine the direction of magnetic field
Knowledge of the driver mutations underlying cancer has led to targeted therapeutics, such as the protein kinase inhibitor imatinib (trade name Gleevec) in cases of chronic myeloid leukemia. Cancer cells often become resistant to a given drug, so researchers continue searching for new drugs that target proteins that contribute to the cancerous phenotype. One recent promising approach uses drugs that lead to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the target protein. Which of the following mutated proteins are good candidates for this approach?
A) oncogenes
B) proteins with loss-of-function mutations
C) proteins with gain-of-function mutations
D) tumor suppressor genes
Answer:
C) proteins with gain-of-function mutations
Explanation:
Gain-of-function mutations: In biology, the term "gain-of-function mutation" is described as one of the different types of mutation in which the altered or changed "gene product" consists of an entirely new pattern or molecular function associated with gene expression. However, the "gene-of-function mutations" are being always considered as "Semidominant or Dominant".
In the question above, the correct answer is option C.
A mutation that hides the effect of another mutation at a site that is distinct from the site of the original mutation, but with in the same gene. This mutation is best described as a
Answer:
The correct answer is intragenic suppressor mutation.
Explanation:
A suppressor mutation partially or completely converses the effects of a different mutation. A suppressor mutation is of two kinds, that is, an intragenic suppressor and an intergenic suppressor. An intragenic suppressor converses the influence of a mutation at a distinct site in a similar gene.
On the other hand, an intergenic suppressor converses the influence of a mutation at a distinct locus of the gene. It is the intragenic suppressor mutation, which takes place in a similar gene where the occurrence of the first mutation had taken place. Therefore, the mutation, which hides the influence of another mutation at a location, which is different from the location of the original mutation, but taking place in a similar gene can be illustrated as the intragenic suppressor mutation.

Explanation:
the absence of the sry gene will result in: a) external genitalia of a female; internal genitalia of a male b) A phenotypic female c) and intersex individual d) A phenotypic male e) external genitalia of a male; internal genitalia of a female
Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
Sex determining Region of the Y chromosome gene or sry gene is a important gene found on the Y chromosome which is responsible for testis development or so the male characteristic. An XX individual with the SRY gene of the Y chromosome, will develop as male.
Hence, Absence of SRY gene will not result in phenotypic male So,option d is not correct. intersex have male characteristic so option c is not correct.
Absence of SRY gene will lead to development of phenotypic female due to form ovary and Fallopian tube in absence of this gene
Hence, option B is correct

Does climate change tend to be more abrupt or gradual? Explain your response.
Answer:
Gradual**
Explanation:
This seems to be an opinion based question but i mean if you look back at history in the early ages or pre- industrialization the worls had very little pollution but gradually as factories cars and other things started being invented we as humans started releasing harmful substances into our atmosphere which began slowly craving away at the ozone layer and til date we are doing the same thing and are facing climate change/ global warming. The world did not suddenly face this problem.

Describe at least 2 benefits and 2 drawbacks there might be for animal cells (including humans) to make their own food through photosynthesis.
Answer:
here.
Explanation:
Benefits would be that we'd be autotrophs, meaning that we'd be independent of an external source of organic compounds for energy. All we'd need is the sun and carbon dioxide. It's a simpler and less energy-consuming process than having to undergo digestion, absorption and then assimilation.
Cons would include the fact that it provides a very limited amount of energy only for the day. Which means humans will be inactive at the night time because the energy won't be able to support our activities. Since we don't have a surface area as big as leaves, our deep cells (like those of our organs and bones) will suffer most from the lack of energy since sunlight cannot penetrate our fat, muscles and bones. This can cause organ failure if our cells solely depended on diffusion.
Our high metabolic rate and our need for energy makes photosynthesis very very ineffective.
_________ is (are) the product of Transcription, and the starting material of Translation. A. tRNA B. Amino Acids C. mRNA D. Ribosomes
Answer:
C. mRNA
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we may remember that when DNA is undergoing transcription a specific sequence is copied via the RNA polymerase in order to produce the messenger RNA which is subsequently used as the starting material of translation for the protein synthesis as shown on the attached picture. Thereby, answer is C. mRNA, since the transcription process produces it and then, for the translation process, it contains the codons which promote the formation of polypeptides (proteins) via the connection of the anti-codons contained in the tRNA which also provide the amino acids for the polypeptides formation.

TRBP is a protein important for the formation of the RISC complex. Which of the following would you expect in cells with null mutations in TRBP?
a. Reduced siRNA-mediated mRNA degradation
b. Increased miRNA-mediated translational repression
c. Increased deadenylase-mediated mRNA degradation
d. Reduced proteasome-mediated protein degradation
Answer:
a. Reduced siRNA-mediated mRNA degradation
Explanation:
The TRBP (transactivation response element RNA-binding protein) is an RNA-binding protein that forms the Dicer complex, which is involved in epigenetic pathways such as those mediated by the RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism. RNAi is a key process where small non-coding RNAs such as, for example, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) can inhibit target gene expression at posttranscriptional level by different mechanisms (including the degradation of target mRNAs). A null mutation of this cofactor will alter the Dicer complex, thereby also affecting RNAi pathways mediated by small interfering RNAs.

he most common source of osteomyelitis is an infection that migrates via the bloodstream. direct invasion from a fracture. surgical contamination. a joint prosthesis.
The correct answer is A. An infection that migrates via the bloodstream
Explanation:
Osteomyelitis is a serious condition, in which an infection develops in bones. This causes symptoms such as pain, inflammation, and can lead to the spread of the infection to other tissues or bone necrosis if it is not treated. In terms of causes, this condition develops when the bone is exposed to bacteria or similar that causes the infection, this can occur during surgeries or fractures. However, the most common source of infection is via bloodstream this means the bacteria or germ is in the blood and it enters the bone through the bloodstream. Also, once the bacteria or germ is in the bone it causes the infection.
