Question

A placental example of these enzymes is a diagnostic marker of seminomas (“seh-min-OH-mahs”). NEB’s “Antarctic” form of one of these enzymes conveniently inactivates (10[1])at 80 degrees Celsius. (10[2])Staining for a tartrate-resistant form of one of these enzymes (10[1])is diagnostic of hairy cell leukemia. Excessive (10[1])bone formation and elevation of another one of these enzymes in the blood are diagnostic of Paget’s (“PAA-jitz”) disease. CSPD and PNPP are common substrates for one of these enzymes in ELISA (10[1])(“eliza”). One of these enzymes extracted from calf intestines prevents (10[1])recircularization (-5[1])of plasmids (10[1])after restriction digestion. When the level of one of these enzymes is elevated, (10[1])high gamma-glutamyl transferase levels confirm a biliary source. (10[1])Insulin activates protein kinase B and one of these enzymes called PP1 to induce (10[1])glycogen synthesis. (10[1])For 10 points, name these enzymes that reverse (10[1])the (10[1])action of kinases (10[3]-5[1])by (10[1])removing (10[1])phosphate groups. (10[3])■END■ (0[2])

ANSWER: phosphatases (“FOSS-fah-TACEs”) [accept protein phosphatases, alkaline phosphatases, acid phosphatases, calf-intestinal alkaline phosphatase, Antarctic Phosphatase, or placental alkaline phosphatase; reject “dephosphorylases”]
