Since I like driving, I would be a transport protein. For example, hemoglobin has to carry oxygen to the body tissues from the lungs then return co2 from tissues to the lungs. It would be fun job at the beginning but maybe after while I’ll be bored doing same things again and again so I would hire another protein to do it for me.
This is a great question, and after our first assignment I could definitely see myself as serum albumin since I'm pretty good at multitasking (SA has an unbelievable number of different binding sites) and for the most part I need to be moving at 90 mph from morning to night.
I would be a chitin synthase protein in P. marneffei. Instead of doing a while bunch of qRT-PCR, I could just ask all my chitin synthase brothers how they interact with each other under different stress conditions.
I would be collagen because it is one of the most abundant proteins out there in terms of the animal kingdom. I would be numerous and absolutely essential to the proper functioning of most of the higher organisms on Earth.
I would be a histone protein because it's found in all eukaryotic cell.Because I would be a chief protein component of chromatin where DNA winds.Otherwise without me,DNA would be long be long and will easily break and unable to carry out fuctions.
I would be insulin as it is the most important protein that reduces blood glucose. I always want to be a benevolent, and am the only one who can give the relief to diabetic patients who are facing difficulties controlling their blood glucose level. Apart from that I do help in increasing the synthesis of glycogen and fatty acid in the body.
I would be GFP (green fluorescent protein) because I could be used as a marker for gene expression and I would have the ability to fluoresce under UV light which is quite unique and useful.
I would be nitrogenase, a protein found in some bacteria and plays an important role in fixing atmospheric nitrogen into an organic source plants can actually use. Pollution from use of nitrogen fertilizer has been so detrimental to the environment, as well as its high cost to farmers. Every little bit of nitrogenase out there helps!!
I would be MHC 2A because I like hitting the gym and when someone lifts or is a sprinter, the muscle composition shifts from a reserve of 2X to 2A to be able to do these activities. The other isoform found in human skeletal muscle is MHC 1 (low power but resistant to fatigue) is found more in long distance runners…I hate running so definitely not MHC 1.
I would be some form of a growth factor protein like VEGF. In the cardiovascular system I would promote heart tissue remodeling at the damaged/ infarcted area with my angiogenic qualities. Also I would rebuild blood vessels and form new ones with my vasculogenic qualities. So basically I can stop people from dying of heart disease.
I would be tumor protein p53. This protein regulates cell cycle and is known as “the guardian of the genome.” P53 helps stabilize and prevent genome mutation.

ReplyDeleteI love this answer, so much.

ReplyDeleteI would be some form of cyclin dependent protein kinase. I have always been interested in biological clocks and cell division.
ReplyDeletei'm collagen because I'm the support network for all around me and I don't mind a bit. :-)

ReplyDeleteBtw idk why it kept removing my comment. Hopefully this one doesn't get removed and if it does at least I tried three times.

ReplyDeleteI would like to be some form of storage protein such as casein or gluten in order to store energy rich- molecules for later use.
