SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) proteins are ∼10-kD polypeptides that function as reversible post-translational protein modifiers. They form isopeptide bonds with ɛ-amino groups of acceptor Lys residues in hundreds of target proteins in a process termed as sumoylation. Which of the following statements is correct regarding this modification?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. A short non-covalent SUMO-interaction/binding motif (SIM/SBM) has been identified in all SUMO enzymes, targets and downstream effectors. This motif contributes to the mechanism and consequences of sumoylation.

  2. Acceptor Lys residues in target proteins are frequently found in the consensus motif ΨKxD although the number of targets with non-consensus acceptor sites is steadily increasing.

  3. Irreversible sumoylation contributes to many distinct pathways, such as chromatin structure, DNA repair, transcription, cell-cycle progression and trafficking.

  4. Sumoylation alters the molecular interactions of modified target proteins by masking or adding interaction surfaces. Downstream consequences, which are target dependent, include changes in localization, activity and protein stability.

In greenhouse grown leaves of broad bean stomatal movements closely correlate with incident solar radiation at the leaf surface and stomatal aperture  opening and closing as light levels reaching the leaf surface given in graph

 


A. Mid of the day stomatal aperture has a largest diameter, water loss and transpiration rate will be highest at the  same time

B. In mid of the day incident light is highest in terms of PPFD and can also say CO2 diffusion will be highest

C. The stomatal aperture has a largest diameter resulting closing of stomatal pore, water loss and transpiration rate will be lowest due to closing of stomata

D. In mid of the day incident light is highest in terms of PPFD resulting CO2 will not diffuse
