E30. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay can be used to study the binding of proteins to a segment of DNA. In the experiment shown here, an EMSA was used to examine the requirements for the bind- ing of RNA polymerase II (from eukaryotic cells) to the promoter of a protein-encoding gene. The assembly of general transcription factors and RNA polymerase II at the core promoter is described in Chapter 12 (Figure 12.14). In this experiment, the segment of DNA containing a promoter sequence was 1100 bp in length. The fragment was mixed with various combinations of proteins and then subjected to an EMSA.

ate) DEFINE what is an Operon, and compare and contrast regulation of the LAC Operon and the TRP Operon. When is each turned ON or OFF? A. DRAW each operon in the PRESENCE of its own ligands (signal molecules). B. What controls the activity of the regulatory proteins involved? · Be sure to describe and show both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE regulation where appropriate. C. Explain HOW each type of control system is appropriate for an operon encoding either catabolic or anabolic enzymes.
Part A You were sequencing a region of 200 kb in Effrenium voratum (a member of the family Symbiodiniaceae) and you found two genes, an insulator, and two enhancers, as shown below. Gene A Promoter gene A Enhancer I Enhancer I| Insulator Promoter gene b Gene B Q: What would happen if you do some gene editing and you move the insulator between both enhancers? The newly positioned insulator allows enhancer II to activate gene B transcription The newly positioned insulator allows enhancer I to hyperactivate gene B transcription The new positioning of the insulator prevents gene A expression It will be unaltered The newly positioned insulator prevents enhancer II from stimulating the transcription of gene B

A. Based on this data, draw a conclusion about the promoter elements that Caudal specifically upregulates. B. Dr. Juven-Gershon also tested Caudal activation of core promoter sequences from twoother genes. Similar to the first experiment, one was DPE-dependent (from the E74Bgene), and the other was TATA-dependent (from the Adh gene). However, these two corepromoters lacked the BREU motif. The results from these additional core promoters areshown below. Based on these results and those shown above, propose a hypothesis thatexplains the differences in Caudal-mediated upregulation among all the different corepromoters Dr. Juven-Gershon tested. C. To test your hypothesis from Question 3B, you plan perform the same method of genereporter assays that Dr. Juven-Gershon has done. However, you will need to do somemutations to alter the core promoters. Make diagrams or clearly describe all the variouscore promoters mutants you wish to test. These include your controls, as well as any…
