A 47-year-old man has a lung carcinoma with metastases. He receives chemotherapy. A month later, histologic examination of a metastatic lesion shows many foci in which individual tumor cells appear shrunken and deeply eosinophilic. Their nuclei exhibit condensed aggregates of chromatin under the nuclear membrane. The pathologic process affecting these shrunken tumor cells is most likely triggered by release of which of the following substances into the cytosol? a. Cytochrome c b. Catalase C. BCL2 d. Lipofuscin

DNA is packed by coiling around the basic proteins called Histones in eukaryotes. For further organization packed DNA is compacted to form chromatin loops (fiber loops) by binding Scaffold proteins via specific sequences on DNA namely Scaffold/Matrix Attachment Regions (S/MARs). Additionally, fiber loops are futherly condensed by condensin proteins to make chromosomes during mitosis. According to that knowledge, which of the following can be the reason of a local decondensation (loosening) of the loop structure in an only 1000-bp nucleotide region on 6p22.3 chromosomal band? (10 pts) a) A disruptive mutation that occured in S/MAR sequences on the mentioned nucleotide region above b) A disruptive mutation that occured in Histon H1 coding gene in genome c) A disruptive mutation that occured in kinetochore complex d) A disruptive mutation that occured in Condensin coding gene e) A disruptive mutation that occured in the genes which encode Scaffold proteins
