 Why has C. elegans proven to be a useful model for understanding apoptosis?

#I Life Science/ Life Sciences Group – I-V

  1. C. elegans does not naturally use apoptosis, but can be induced to do so in the laboratory.

  2. C. elegans undergoes a fixed and easy-to-visualize number of apoptotic events during its normal development.

  3. C. elegans has large cells wherein apoptosis is easily observed without the aid of a microscope.

  4. As C. elegans ages, its cells die progressively until the whole organism is dead.

A microarray known as a GeneChip, with most now known human protein coding sequences, has recently been developed to aid in the study of human cancer by first comparing twothree subsets of cancer subtypes. What kind of information might be gleaned from this GeneChip to aid in cancer prevention?

Cell cycle is regulated by master regulators (cyclin and CDKs). In vertebrates, G1 CDK activity rises during G1 and is stimulated by the presence of growth factors. When signaling from growth factors is sustained, the resulting cyclin D–CDK4/6 complexes begin phosphorylating Rb, releasing some E2F, which stimulates transcription of the genes encoding cyclin E, CDK2, and E2F itself. In a particular cell type there is a mutation in Rb such that it cannot be phosphorylated. What will be the correct expression pattern of cyclin E in these cells after mitotic stimulation?

Which of the following statement is true?
A) PAM matrices are derived from an evolutionary model whereas the BLOSUM matrices consist of entirely direct observations. 
B) Because of BLOSUM matrices have less evolutionary meaning that is why the PAM matrices are used most often for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
C) BLOSUM matrices are entirely derived from local sequence alignments of conserved sequence blocks, whereas the PAM matrix is based on the global alignment of full-length sequences.
D) BLOSUM matrices are more advantageous in searching databases and finding conserved domains in proteins.
