You are a developmental geneticist studying flowering time variation in Arabidopsis. You perform a mutagenesis screen to identify mutants in the photoperiod pathway. You conduct the screen and find two different plants that show the same mutant phenotype. You then use a complementation test.

You conduct an experiment to study the expression of the S protein through the tissues of your favorite plant (Arabidopsis thaliana). The morning of the experiment you inject in the leaves a messenger RNA that codes for the synthesis of a single protein made of two parts that are attached to each other: the functional S protein and a red fluorescent protein tag (RFP). You perform two cross sections of the same root, one section at the start of the experiment (time = Oh; corresponding to the time of injection) and one section in the afternoon (time = 8h). Through fluorescent microscopy you observe a change in the coloration inside the cells of the root's central tissues (as indicated by the arrows): from no coloration (time = Oh) to red (time = 8h). • The cells of the central tissues in the roots do not have nuclei or ribosomes. How can you explain this change of coloration? Please provide a cellular feature that can lead to this. • What is one advantage of using an RFP-tag in an mRNA?…
Let’s suppose a researcher was interested in the effects of mutationson the expression of a protein-encoding gene for a proteinthat is 472 amino acids in length. This protein is expressed in leafcells of Arabidopsis thaliana. It has a molecular mass of approximately56,640 Da.

I. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) is a transcription factor that is similar to steroid hormone receptors. Thesubstance (ligand) that binds to this receptor is retinoicacid. One of the genes whose transcription is activatedby retinoic acid binding to the receptor is myoD. Thediagram that follows shows a schematic view of theRAR proteins produced by genes into which one oftwo different 12-base double-stranded oligonucleotides had been inserted in the ORF. The insertion site(a–m) associated with each mutant protein is indicatedwith the appropriate letter on the polypeptide map.For constructs encoding proteins a–e, oligonucleotide 1(5′ TTAATTAATTAA 3′ read off either strand) wasinserted into the RAR gene.

Aurora AAurora A is a protein that acts as a kinase (transfers phosphates to molecules). Many types of cancer cells, including breast cancer cells, have higher than normal levels of this protein.Expressions of Aurora A genes in normal breast tissues (n = 10), normal tissues adjacent to tumors (n = 12) and breast tumors (n = 14).Scientists studying the production of Aurora A protein in normal frog cells observed that the amount of this protein in the cells changed throughout the cell cycle.Scientists tested chemicals that block Aurora 2 to see if they could be used as anti-cancer drugs. They found that some of the candidate drugs did slow the growth of cancer cells in cell culture in the lab. But when they tested these drugs in cancer patients to see if the drugs could slow the growth of solid tumors, they found that the benefit to patients was small when compared to the development of severe side effects such as anemia (low red blood cell count) and leukopenia (low white blood cell…

The protein known as tyrosinase is needed to make certain types of pigments. Tyrosinase is composed of a single polypeptide with 511amino acids. The molecular mass of this protein is approximately61,300 Da, or 61.3 kDa. People who carry two defective copies ofthe tyrosinase gene have the condition known as albinism. They areunable to make pigment in the skin, eyes, and hair. Western blottingis used to detect proteins that are translated from a particularmRNA. This method is described in Chapter 20 and also in experimentalquestion E4. Skin samples were collected from a pigmentedindividual (lane 1) and from three unrelated albino individuals(lanes 2, 3, and 4) and subjected to a Western blot analysis using anantibody that recognizes tyrosinase.
