Question 1

8. Transthyretin, a protein composed of four identical subunits, transports thyroid hormone in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Several mutations in the gene that codes for this protein disrupt the protein's tetrameric structure, favoring the monomer, which is more likely to form amyloid fibers. Why might a Leu-Pro transthyretin mutant be amyloidogenic? 9. In three separate site-directed mutagenesis experiments, scientists altered a Lys residue in corn PEP carboxylase to an Asn, Glu, or Arg. Which substitution would you expect to have the least effect on enzymatic activity? Which substitution would have the greatest effect? Explain. 10. A 24-residue peptide called Pandinin 2, isolated from scorpion venom, was found to have both antimicrobial and hemolytic properties. The sequence of the first 8 residues of this peptide is shown below. The peptide forms an amphipathic helix in which nonpolar amino acids are on one side of the helix and polar or charged amino acids are on the other side of the helix. Examine the sequence below and predict which amino acid side chains are likely to be found on the nonpolar side of the amphipathic helix. a. Propose a hypothesis that explains why the peptide is able to lyse bacteria and red blood cells.
