Question: Sketch a phylogenetic tree for the family of homologous proteins

whose partial sequences are given below.

Protein A T L A D K A I S L H D S

Protein B T L G D K A V S I H E S

Protein C T L A D K A I S V H D S

Short Answer

Expert verified

It鈥檚 a phylogenetic tree.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of Concept

A phylogenetic tree, also known as phylogeny, is a diagram that shows how various species, animals, or genes descended from a common ancestor.

02

Sequences of Protein

Except for the amino acid at position 9, the amino acid sequences of proteins and are identical. Protein B differs from Protein and in its sequence.


Therefore, it鈥檚 a phylogenetic tree.

You wish to determine the sequence of a short peptide. Cleavage with trypsin yields three smaller peptides with the sequences Leu鈥揋lu, Gly鈥揟yr鈥� Asn鈥揂rg, and Gln鈥揂la鈥揚he鈥揤al鈥揕ys. Cleavage with chymotrypsin yields three peptides with the sequences Gln鈥揂la鈥揚he, Asn鈥揂rg鈥揕eu鈥揋lu, and Val鈥揕ys鈥揋ly鈥揟yr. What is the sequence of the intact peptide?

Explain how you could use a column containing carboxymethyl groups to separate serum albumin and ribonuclease A(see Table 5-3).

What fractionation procedure could be used to purify protein 1 from a mixture of three proteins whose amino acid compositions are as follows?

1. 25% Ala, 20% Gly, 20% Ser, 10% Ile, 10% Val, 5% Asn, 5% Gln, 5% Pro

2. 30% Gln, 25% Glu, 20% Lys, 15% Ser, 10% Cys
