4. You are to choose the members of an expedition that will climb several high mountains. Each applicant for one of the positions is a heterozygote for an abnormal hemoglobin: Person A: Hb Albany: a methionine has been substituted for Lys 82 in the B-subunit. Person B: Hb Cowtown: a leucine has been substituted for His 146 in the B-subunit. Person C: Hb Flagstaff: an isoleucine has been substituted for Val 1 in the B-subunit. For the locations of the amino acid residues refer to your text, the figure on page 9 of this lab, and the KING exercises. Assuming that each of these candidates is equal in ability at low altitude, which one would you choose for the expedition? To answer this question, determine how the substituted amino acid affects the structure and function of each abnormal hemoglobin, and describe the physiological effect. Focus on the stabilization of the T versus R state of hemoglobin, and the consequent physiological changes that might occur altitude. Keep your answers…

Why does release of BPG in the blood system help counter the effects of high altitude induced hypoxia? O BPG binds each hemoglobin tetramer and leads to formation of a confirmation that binds 02 more strongly allowing uptake of 02 in the lungs BPG binds myoglobin and leads to formation of a confirmation that binds 02 more strongly allowing uptake of O2 in the lungs BPG binds myoglobin and leads to formation of a confirmation that binds 02 more weakly allowing release of 02 in oxygen starved tissues O BPG binds each hemoglobin tetramer and leads to formation of a confirmation that binds 02 more weakly allowing release of 02 in oxygen starved tissues

. Mutations in an autosomal gene in humans cause aform of hemophilia called von Willebrand disease(vWD). This gene specifies a blood plasma proteincleverly called von Willebrand factor (vWF). vWFstabilizes factor VIII, a blood plasma protein specified by the wild-type hemophilia A gene. Factor VIIIis needed to form blood clots. Thus, factor VIII is rapidly destroyed in the absence of vWF.Which of the following might successfully be employed in the treatment of bleeding episodes in hemophiliac patients? Would the treatments workimmediately or only after some delay needed forprotein synthesis? Would the treatments have only ashort-term or a prolonged effect? Assume that allmutations are null (that is, the mutations result in thecomplete absence of the protein encoded by the gene)and that the plasma is cell-free.a. transfusion of plasma from normal blood into avWD patientb. transfusion of plasma from a vWD patient into adifferent vWD patientc. transfusion of plasma from a hemophilia A…
Neanderthal Hair Color The MCIR gene regulates pigmentation in humans (Sections 14.1 and 15.l revisited), .so loss-of-function mutations in this gene affect hair and .skin color. A person with two mutated alleles for this gene makes more of the reddish melanin than the brownish melanin, resulting in red hair and pa le skin. DNA extracted from two Neanderthal fossils contains a mutated MC1R allele that has not yet been found in humans, To see how the. Neanderthal mutation affects the function of the MC1R gene, Carles Lalueza-Fox and her team introduced the allele into cultured monkey cells (FIGURE 26.1 6). FIGURE 26.16 MC1R activity in monkey cells transgenic for an unmutated MClR gene, the Neanderthal MC1R allele or the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP is- not related to MC1R. What purpose do the cells with the gene for green fluorescent protein serve in this experiment?
The figure below shows amino acid interactions between the a /B2 subunit interface of hemoglobin. These interactions stabilize the T state of the protein.

Sickle cell anemia patients suffer from a distorted red blood cell shape and an anemic condition as a result of a genetic mutation in the HBB gene, which codes for the hemoglobin β subunits. This mutation changes a Glu to a Val at position 6 in the protein, and these patients express two alleles (one from each parent) with this mutation. When individuals inherit just one copy of this mutated gene, they are considered carriers, and have very few symptoms. Based on the quaternary structure of hemoglobin, what can you predict about the assembly of hemoglobin in sickle cell anemia patients versus carriers of the sickle cell trait? a. In sickle cell anemia patients, the α globin subunits have complementary mutations to ensure the quaternary structure of hemoglobin is attained. b. In sickle cell anemia patients, 100% of the hemoglobin is fully functional, whereas in those that carry the trait, there is no functional hemoglobin assembled. c. In individuals with the sickle cell…
