The cholera bacterium vibrio cholerae produces an enzyme toxin that chemically modifies a g protein involved in regulating salt and water secretion in intestinal cells. stuck in its active form, the modified g protein stimulates the production of a high concentration of camp, which causes the intestinal cells to secrete large amounts of salts into the intestines, with water following by osmosis. an infected person quickly develops profuse diarrhea and if left untreated can soon die from the loss of water and salts.
what is the basic effect of the cholera toxin?
a. the basic effect of the cholera toxin is loss of specificity of the response of intestinal cells to a
b. the basic effect of the cholera toxin is premature termination of a signaling pathway.
c. the basic effect of the cholera toxin is signal amplification.

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression. c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression. d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.
