Two-component system regulating response to low Gln,

a) Glutamine dissociates from the sensor domain in the NtrB protein, leading to activation of a histidine kinase transmitter domain in NtrB

b) glutamine binds to a sensor domain of NtrB, causing a conformational change in the protein that inhibits its histidine kinase activity, the regulatory domain of NtrC blocks its DNA-binding domain from binding the glnA enhancers.

c) Activated transmitter domain of NtrB that transfers the γ-phosphate of ATP to a histidine residue (H), this phosphohistidine then transfers the phosphate to an aspartic acid residue (D) in the NtrC protein

d) This causes a conformational change in NtrC that unmasks the NtrC DNA-binding domain so that it can bind to the glnA enhancers

Use the following information to answer the question. In order to test how sea urchin sperm bind to eggs, scientists isolated the egg receptor protein that binds to the sperm acrosomal protein called bindin. Plastic beads were coated with egg receptor for bindin (ERB1) from eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and then the beads mixed with sperm from S. purpuratus or from the related species, S. franciscanus. The researchers counted how many sperm were bound to each bead. The results are shown in the graph below. Treatments:

A: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

B: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein

C: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

D: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein
