In this western blot, the levels of phosphorylated TBK (PTBK) decrease with increasing amounts/expression of the viral protein (VP). Figure description: Increasing amounts of a plasmid expressing the viral protein (0.5, 1, or 2ug) were cotransfected with TBK1 expression plasmid. Cells were harvested 24 h post-transfection and analyzed for phosphorylated TBK1 (anti-PTBK1 Ser172), total TBK1 (anti-TBK1). B-actin (anti-B-actin), and viral protein (anti-VP) expression by Western blot analysis. VP PTBK1 (S172) TBK1 actin Virus proteins O True O False

explain please: Spike-Driven Syncytia Formation Is Coupled to S20 Fragment Generation in the Presence of ACE2. To investigate the functional and biochemical signatures of spike (S) protein upon engaging its receptor ACE2 in live cells, we first utilized a cell–cell fusion assay to obtain potentially cleaved spike protein products from syncytia . In this system, HEK293T cells transfected with plasmids encoding WT spike readily formed syncytia after coculturing with HEK293T cells expressing human and Vero E6-ACE2, as well as colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 and lung adenocarcinoma Calu-3 cells expressing endogenous ACE2. We then collected these adherent syncytia and immunoblotted for cleaved spike species using a rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically detecting the S2 ectodomain through standard reducing Tris-glycine sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This experiment revealed that spike expression in HEK293T cells displayed full-length S and autocleaved S2…
Several new genes in the SOS regulon were identified by an ingen- ious use of “Mud" phages. These are derivatives of phage Mu that have a promoterless B-galactosidase gene inserted at a particular point in this phage genome. How might these phages be used to identify genes whose expression is turned on after ultraviolet irradi- ation of bacteria?

In 1965, Jon Beckwith and Ethan Signer devised a method of obtaining specialized transducing phages carrying the lac region. They knew that the integration site, designated att80, for the temperate phage φ80 (a relative of phage λ) was located near tonB, a gene that confers resistance to the virulent phage T1: tonB att80 They used an F ′ lac+ plasmid that could not replicate at high temperatures in a strain carrying a deletion of the lac genes. By forcing the cell to remain lac+ at high temperatures, the researchers could select strains in which the plasmid had integrated into the chromosome, thereby allowing the F ′ lac to be maintained at high temperatures. By combining this selection with a simultaneous selection for resistance to T1 phage infection, they found that the only survivors were cells in which the F ′ lac had integrated into the tonB locus, as shown here: tonB F lac att80 This result placed the lac region near the integration site for phage φ80. Describe the subsequent…
Suppose that you wanted to study retroviral integration mechanisms by determining the nucleotide sequence at the integration site-sev- eral dozen nucleotides on each side of the viral-cellular DNA junc- tion. Describe how to isolate DNA containing a junction site in amounts sufficient for sequence analysis.
One of the reasons why phage therapy has not been applied widely is that bacteria can become resistant to bacteriophages as well, through mutations in genes encoding for specific proteins. What would be a protein in the bacterial cell that, if mutated, would make that cell resistant to phage infection?
A sample of E.coli cells is transformed with a plasmid containing a transcriptional fusion including the promoter of an E.coli housekeeping gene and the LacZ gene. The transformed cells are plated out on selective medium containing X-gal. Which of the following best describes the likely results. a. Colonies will only be blue if lactose is also included in the growth medium. b. Colonies will only be blue if lactose and glucose are included in the growth medium c. Most of the colonies should turn blue. d. Presence of any white colonies may indicate deletion or mutation of the promoter. e. Both c. and d. are correct
Before JCVI-syn3.0 was produced, what steps were used to create a synthetic Mycoplasma cell? Put the events below into the correct order. Drag and drop the events into the proper sequence from left to right. ▸ View Available Hint(s) First Step Transformed cells are detected by the presence of lacz, which causes them to cleave Xgal and produce a blue color. Yeast is transformed using Mycoplasma mycoides fragments. The synthetic chromosome is transformed into Mycoplasma capricolum. The synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides chromosome is purified. DNA fragments assemble through homologous recombination in yeast. Reset Help Last Step
