Yоu will need this infоrmаtiоn for the next three questions. You will аlso need the аmino acid properties chart and the codon chart below. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disorder present in multiple species that results in overly dense bones. When bones are overly dense, they can become brittle and misshapen causing them to fracture easily. Osteopetrosis can have an infantile or adult onset. When present in adults, the life expectancy is normal, but in infants, life expectancy is significantly shortened. There are various mutations that cause osteopetrosis to different degrees but most are in a protein called CLC-7. CLC-7 is a membrane bound transport protein that is similar to the membrane bound protein from the fainting goat example in class. However, CLC-7 forms a protein complex by binding with another protein OSTM1. The CLC-7/OSTM1 protein complex helps transport hydrogen ions into and chloride ions out of a type of cell called an osteoclast. CLC-7’s role in this complex is to transport ions across the cell membrane while OSTM1 protects CLC-7 from being degraded over time. This process keeps the pH of osteoclasts balanced so that the cells can fulfill their function of managing bone density. When the osteoclast pH becomes out of balance, bone density can be increased. Figure 1. This is a 3D rendering of the CLC-7/OSTM1 complex. Parts in blue are hydrophilic while parts in red are hydrophobic. The orange lines show the approximate boundaries of the cell membrane. Figure 2. This is another 3D rendering of the CLC-7/OSTM1 protein complex. Each polypeptide chain is colored separately. Blue and green represent CLC-7. Yellow and pink represent OSTM1. The protein complex is in the same exact orientation as it is in Figure 1. The orange colored boxes are referenced in the questions below. Yellow and pink are mostly bottom left with two alpha helices sticking up and touching either side of blue and green which are toward the top right.
