7 7 SECTION B: DATA HANDLING QUESTION Answer ALL PARTS of the question [30 marks] 26. A new microtubule associated protein (MAPX) has been discovered and its influence on microtubule stability and dynamics was investigated in cells expressing low (cell type A) and high (cell type B) levels of MAPX. Microtubule stability was first investigated by determining the expression level of detyrosinated tubulin by western blotting. The presence of detyrosinated tubulin is an indicator of stable microtubules. Cell extracts were prepared from both type A and B cells and western blots were probed for detyrosinated tubulin and -tubulin and the results are shown in Figure 1 below. Detyrosinated tubulin Cell type A Cell type B α-tubulin Figure 1. Western blot showing expression levels of detyrosinated tubulin in cell extracts from cell types A and B. The expression level for -tubulin was used as a loading control. (a) What do the western blot results suggest about the effect of MAPX on microtubule stability? [5 marks] Next, both cell types A and B were incubated at 4 C for 30 minutes, immune-labelled for microtubules and imaged in a fluorescence microscope. Analyses revealed that almost all type A cells had no microtubules whereas type B cells contained a significant number of microtubules. (b) Explain these observations bearing in mind the effect of cold on microtubules. [5 marks] (c) Explain whether the findings from the cold treatment experiment support the Western blot results? [2 marks] Section B Q26 continues on next page/... TURN OVER
8 % microtubules 8 Section B Q26 continued The effect of MAPX on microtubule dynamics was next investigated. Live time-lapse imaging was carried out on type A and B cells expressing GFP-tubulin so that the dynamic behaviour of the microtubules could be analysed. Microtubule length changes were analysed and microtubules were scored as shrinking, growing or pausing and the results shown in Figure 2 below A: low level of MAPX expression B: high level of MAPX expression 0 - Growing Shrinking Pausing Figure 2. Live time-lapse imaging was carried out for 3 minutes on GFP-tubulin expressing A (low MAPX, grey bars) and B (high MAPX, black bars) cells. Changes in microtubule length was analysed and the microtubules were scored every 3 seconds as growing, shrinking or pausing. A total of 100 microtubules were analyses for each cell type and the percentage of microtubules present in each state are shown in the histogram. (d) Explain the time-lapse results and discuss the effect of MAPX on microtubules in terms of dynamic instability. [10 marks] Further studies on MAPX revealed that it localised along the length of microtubules in fixed cells. (e) Which technique would have been used to visualise MAPX along the microtubules? [2 marks] (f) Briefly describe what the technique involves. [6 marks] END OF SECTION B START YOUR ANSWER TO THE NEXT SECTION IN A NEW BOOKLET Section C begins on next page/...

[20 marks] (b) Discuss two examples of where this pathway plays important roles in development. [10 marks] 28. Answer BOTH parts (a) and (b). (a) Describe the main phases of mitosis emphasising the importance of cell cycle control by cyclins/cdks. [20 marks] (b) Briefly discuss the three types of microtubule involved in chromosomal separation during cell division. [10 marks] 29. Answer BOTH parts (a) and (b). Cells interact with other cells through a number of different junctional and nonjunctional molecules. (a) Give a brief description of two different types of junctional interactions and one non-junctional interaction. [15 marks] (b) In certain pathological conditions cell-cell interactions are disrupted. Discuss two such examples including the functional consequences of such disruption. [15 marks] END OF PAPER
