Bioluminescence in Vibrio fischeri is dependent on
A.) phosphorylation of CheY protein
B.) autoregulation of the luxI gene
C.) destabilization of luxM mRNA
D.) posttranslational regulation of Spo0A protein
Answer:
B.) autoregulation of the luxI gene
Explanation:
There are two genesessential for cell density regulation of Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence:
1. luxI, which codes for an autoinducer synthase; and luxR, whichcodes for an autoinducer-dependent activator of the lumines-cence gene
Bioluminescence in Vibrio fischeri is dependent on A.) phosphorylation of CheY protein B.) autoregulation of the...
11. (5 pts) Vibrio fischeri are capable of carrying out mixed acid fermentation. This would allow for continuation of which of the following? A. Glycolysis B. Oxidative phosphorylation C. Aerobic respiration D. Anaerobic respiration E. All of the above in ihnenmal mediated
Vibrio fischeri are bioluminescent and are frequently found living in the light organs of bobtail squids. The production of light is regulated via quorum sensing. The bacteria begin to enter the light organ shortly after birth of the squid. If there are 1x104 bacteria present an hour after birth and a quorum of 1x1010 bacteria required for bioluminescence, how much longer will it take before light will begin to be produced? (Assume a mean growth rate constant of 0.5 generations/hour)....
QUESTION 19 19. The following is an example of posttranslational regulation of gene expression: A. A. Control of transcription by a repressor B. A. Control of transcription by an inducer. Oc. A. Alternative splicing of RNA. D. A. Controlling transport of mRNA from the nucleus. E. A. Phopsorylation of protein.
Phosphorylation-dependent binding of F-box protein B-TrCP containing E3 ubiquitin ligase to human WEE1A. S123 is phosphorylated by a CDK and the phosphorylation primes CK2 to phosphorylate S121 resulting in creation of a B-TCP phosphodegron (EEGFGpS121) that is responsible for the instability of WEE1A during interphase. At the onset of M-phase, when activated Plk1 accumulates, Plk1 binds to WEE1A to the PBD binding motif surrounding PS123 (SpSP) via its PBD and phosphorylates S53 resulting in generation of the second phosphodegron (DpSAFQE)....

A particular type of glucose binding protein binds to glucose with an affinity of 0.43 µM. In other words, 1/K = 0.43 µM, where K is the equilibrium constant for the association of glucose with the protein. If glucose concentration is 1 mM, then approximately what fraction of glucose bindingA. Almost noneB. Almost allC. About halfD. About 10%In principle, a eukaryotic cell can regulate gene expression at any step in the pathway from DNA to the active protein, including marking...
