In order to identify cis-regulatory elements for the BRC2 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, you develop genetically-engineered alleles in which different sections of the upstream region are deleted (dashed segments in the diagram below). You evaluate the amount of mRNA produced by each allele compared to the wild-type sequence. The results are shown in the diagram below in comparison with the wild-type sequence. Match the following cis-regulatory elements with the correct region:

In this chapter you were introduced to nonsense suppressor mutations in tRNA genes. However, suppressormutations also occur in protein-coding genes. Using thetertiary structure of the β subunit of hemoglobin shownin Figure 9-3(c), explain in structural terms how a mutation could cause the loss of globin protein function. Nowexplain how a mutation at a second site in the same protein could suppress this mutation and lead to a normalor near-normal protein.
A particular type of anemia in humans, called b-thalassemia,results from a severe reduction or absence of the normal b-globinchain of hemoglobin. However, the g@globin chain, normally onlyexpressed during fetal development, can functionally substitutefor b-globin. A variety of studies have explored the use of thenucleoside 5-azacytidine for the expression of g-globin in adultpatients with b-thalassemia.(a) How might 5-azacytidine lead to expression of g-globin inadult patients?(b) Explain why this drug may also have some adverse side effects.
The genes that encode the enzymes for arginine biosynthesis are located at several positions around the genome of E. coli, and they are regulated coordinately by a transcription regulator encoded by the ArgR gene. The activity of the Argr protein is modulated by arginine. upon binding arginine, Argr alters its conformation, dramatically changing its affinity for the DNA sequences in the promoters of the genes for the arginine biosynthetic enzymes. given that ArgR is a repressor protein, would you expect that ArgR would bind more tightly or less tightly to the DNA sequences when arginine is abundant? if ArgR functioned instead as an activator protein, would you expect the binding of arginine to increase or to decrease its affinity for its regulatory DNA sequences? explain your answers.

In other words,what would be the structure of the drugs, and how would theyinhibit Ras protein? How would you test the efficacy of the drugs?What might be some side effects?

Here is the model for TfR mRNA regulation (see Fig.), for your convenience. Orange protein (IRP or IREBP), when bound to RNA, protects mRNA from degradation. When Fe is bound to the protein, it cannot bind the mRNA. If you made a radioactive DNA probe specific to TfR mRNA and performed a Northern blot analysis (to detect mRNA) from cells treated with high iron (Fe) concentration what would you expect to see? (a) Low iron RNase A (b) High iron O High levels of RNase O Low levels of TfR mRNA Fe RNase O The result would be the same as untreated cells Degradation O High levels of IRP (or IREBP - iron responsive element binding protein) O High levels of TfR mRNA
The steroid progesterone has an important role in the female reproductive system. Researchers interested in studying membrane progestin receptors (MPRS) developed a method to produce and purify the protein in active form. First, the researchers devised a way to prepare a specific MPR known as hMPRA using the machinery of yeast cells. In order to facilitate purification and identification in later studies, they manipulated the yeast cells so that they attached two different tags to the C-terminal end of the protein. The first tag, Compound 1, is a peptide sequence that acts as an epitope, part of a much larger peptide sequence that is recognized by the immune system. The second sequence consisted of six consecutive histidine residues (His). This sequence binds tightly to Ni2+ cations. In chromatography, (His), tag labeled proteins can be eluted from Ni²+. supported columns by adding a small molecule to the eluent that mimics the side chain of histidine.…
