The protein that was found in the first DNA sequence is Apolipoprotein E. The name Apolipoprotein is referred to APOE (APOE). Apolipoprotein E is inside the body and combines with fats to form lipoproteins (APOE). Lipoproteins travel through the blood stream caring cholesterol and other fats (APOE). The fats, cholesterol, and other minerals in the body need to be regulated to prevent a disease occurring from Apolipoprotein E. The protein Apolipoprotein E can cause Alzheimer’s disease.…
GMOs are the fastest growing subject in the history of the agricultural industry. Currently, the United States is the lead producer of GMOs, which are projected to increase in amount and variety in the future. (Broeders, De Keersmaecker, Roosens, 2012). There are many differing opinions regarding the positive and negative effects of GMOs. Anti-GMO campaigns suggest that because GMO plants are unnatural and have not evolved with the rest of mankind, we cannot digest them in a normal manner. In…
According to T.F. Gendron et al., partial amounts of the toxicity are due to a gain in function by the protein. When this occurs, the TDP-43 protein has usually shifted its location from the nucleus to throughout the cytoplasm of the cell. This abnormal accumulation of TDP-43 in the cytoplasm is not only found in neurons and glial cells of the primary motor cortex but as well as in brainstem motor nuclei, the spinal cord, and in certain associated white matter tracts (Mackenzie et al 2010). It…
proteins like NSF, SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins), and SNAREs including SNAP25, VAMP and syntaxin. With these identified proteins, Rothman laboratory developed the SNARE hypothesis describing a model of SNAREs involvement in vesicle targeting and fusion. Their model explains that a transport vesicle (v-SNARE) and a target membrane (t-SNARE) with the aid of NSF, SNAPs and other yet unknown proteins bring the v-SNARE in close proximity to the t-SNARE facilitating membrane fusion (Sollner…
interactions between genes and their products with bring the phenotype into being” (Dupont 2009). Since then, as understanding of the human genome has developed and grown, a complex array of errors and dysfunctions in the processes of gene regulation, expression, and replication have been shown to cause, or correlate strongly with, multiple diseases and conditions. This includes conditions that are seen typically in older humans, such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, and various forms of…
Sotos syndrome is a disease that causes a child to grow unusually rapidly, especially in the cephalic region, resulting in abnormal growth of the brain and a corresponding array of developmental disabilities (Türkmen et al., 2015; Faravelli, 2005; McKusick, 2015). This disorder is an autosomal dominant disorder (McKusick, 2015) and has been found to be a result of mutations in the NSD1 gene (Türkmen et al., 2015; Faravelli, 2005; McKusick, 2015), on the chromosome 5q35 (Faravelli, 2005; McKusick…
There were no cultural variables between the girls that could have hindered the eye contact. They were very comfortable with each other and engaged in conversation with short bursts of eye contact when necessary. 3. Facial expressions: What kind of facial expressions are each of them making? (smiling, frowning, etc.) Is either one nodding “yes” or shaking his/her head “no”? What do you think the nature of the conversation is, based on their facial…
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an uncommon form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), it is a cancer which affects a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes in the lymphatic system. There are three main types of BL (endemic, sporadic and immunodeficiency related). The endemic type of Burkitt’s lymphoma is considerably more common in sub-Saharan Africa, in where it has a close link to Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) and Malaria, whereas the sporadic type only has a 20% association with the EB virus and is…
APC is a tumor repressor and essential a cell growth regulator. It inhibits uncontrolled growth of cells which may lead to cancer. Mutations of APC often lead to colorectal cancer. Small polyps, which are the overgrown cells, appear in the colon and later lead to malignancy. APC regulates how often the cell divides, the cell’s attachment the cells within a tissues, the morphogenesis of the cell’s 3D structures, and how the cell polarizes. In addition, the proteins check to make sure the number…
the feet near the bottom. Although the shot is focused on the character, background detail can still be shown Mid-shot shows some part of the subject. The audience can feel that they were looking at the whole subject. It can show enough facial expression and the body language. It usually uses when the subject is speaking without too much emotion. Also, it works well when it tends to deliver information. Certain…
