Answer #1

Answer-

Option A - perilipin

Perilipin is a protein that coats surface of lipids . it is encoded by gene PLIN1 which is expressd in adipocytes and found abundantly on adipocytes. Perilipin regulates breakdown of lipids in cells and also mobilisation of fat . Phosphorylation of perilipin causes lipolysis and coats lipid drplets to prevent degradation by protein enzyme HSL.

ATGL , HSL , PKA are protein enzymes associated with metabolism of lipids.

Suppose you find four new proteins, that you have named proteins A, B, C, and D. You have determined that they regulate the cell cycle, so they must be either cyclins or CDKs. You are interested in figuring out which of the four proteins are cyclins, and which are CDKs. In an experiment using budding yeast, you find that protein A is found at higher concentrations when the bud on the yeast cells is small, and is complexed with protein...

3.Although there are likely more, there are five major genes that interact to control coat colour in mice. These are: A, B, C, D and S. The A allele produces a phenotype called agouti, which caused by a band of yellow colour on a dark hair shaft. The result is a brindled or salt and pepper appearance. The non-agouti (controlled by the a allele) lacks the yellow band and is a solid black. The B gene controls the colour of...
