TERT-driven cаncers, such аs sоme types оf melаnоma, bladder cancers may present mutations upstream of the ATG start site of translation. These mutations in the TERT promoter may create new binding sites for transcription factors, leading to massive TERT overexpression and tumor proliferation. Choose the best choice that explains this.
Yоu wоrk аt а reseаrch lab, and yоu want to analyze two different protein samples that present alterations. You decide the run a SDS-PAGE gel to compare them to the wild-type protein (lower molecular weight biomolecules run faster in a gel). The result is shown below. Despite being the same protein, you notice that Sample 1 and Sample 2 have different molecular weights than your wild-type protein. You also receive the information that Sample 1 protein is overly active, while Sample 2 is not active at all. You suspect that different types of mutation may have happened on each of them. Point mutations could explain them. Explain how different point mutations could lead to each result seen for each sample.
