The biggest problem with the shotgun technique is its tendency to underestimate the size of the genome. Which of the following might best account for this?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. skipping some of the clones to be sequenced

  2. missing some of the overlapping regions of the clones

  3. missing some duplicated sequences

  4. having some of the clones die during the experiment and therefore not be represented

Following statements are regarding to protein kinase A which phosphorylates multiple intracellular target proteins expressed in different cell types.

A. Inactive PKA is a tetramer consisting of two regulatory (R) subunits and two catalytic (C) subunits.

B. Each R subunit contains a pseudo-substrate domain whose sequence resembles that of a peptide substrate and binds to the active site in the catalytic domain but is not phosphorylated; thus the pseudo-substrate domain inhibits the activity of the catalytic subunits.

C. active PKA is turned off by binding of cAMP Each R subunit has two distinct cAMP-binding sites, called CNB-A and CNB-B.

D. Binding of cAMP by an R subunit of PKA occurs in a cooperative fashion; that is, binding of the first cAMP molecule to CNB-B increases the Kd for binding of the second cAMP to CNB-A. Thus small changes in the level of cytosolic cAMP can cause proportionately large changes in the number of dissociated C subunits and, hence, in cellular kinase activity.
