The previously accepted model of the chloramphenicol action was that it inhibited all ribosomes equally. Why were the authors of the Marks, 2016 paper skeptical of this model? Choose all that are correct. Because they had observed that certain bacteria were resistant to chloramphenicol, and this proves that chloramphenicol stalls ribosomes at certain sites within those bacteria. Because certain MRNA templates had been observed to be inhibited by chloramphenicol more strongly than others Because chloramphenicol induces expression of chloramphenicol resistance proteins through translational arrest at specific codons in the leader ORFS of chloramphenicol resistance genes, which suggests there is preferential stalling at certain sites. Because chloramphenicol induces expression of chloramphenicol resistance proteins - therefore, these proteins must be able to be translated during chloramphenicol treatment. Because chloramphenicol binds the decoding center of the 30S subunit, and there are always different tRNAS there, which could interact with chloramphenicol differently.

. Recall that the trp operon has a special leader sequence (trpL) between the operator and the structural genes that offers attenuation as a mechanism for regulation of gene expression. (A) Draw a diagram of a trpL region of the operon when tryptophan is abundant in the cell.Label the following features: the DNA, 5’ and 3’ polarity of the RNA, the regions 1, 2, 3,and 4 and poly-U of the RNA, the pair of Trp codons (UGG), the ribosome, and RNA-Pol,along with any stem-loop structure that would form under these conditions (B) In the above example, will the rest of the trp operon genes be expressed? Briefly describe your reasoning why or why not (C) The trp codons in region 1 of the trpL gene have mutated to cysteines (UGG to UGC). What will be the effect on attenuation gene regulation of the trp operon? Brieflyexplain your reasoning.
Ferritin levels are controlled in cells to ensure that free iron levels do not surpass a toxic threshold. Its levels must never be too high or it will titrate too much iron and jeapardize critical cellular iron-dependent enzyme activities. How is this achieved? Choose one. a) Elements present in the 5' UTR contribute to its translational block in low iron conditions. b) The Ferritin mRNA is under IRE-BP control so that in high iron conditions IRE-BP is not in its active conformation an has no negative effect on Ferritin mRNA translation c) IRE-BP can effectively bind to destablizing elements in the 3'UTR of the Ferritin mRNA, thus drastically reducing the half life of the transcript 4) a and b only 5) a, b and c
Several experiments were conducted to obtain information about how the eukaryotic ribosomerecognizes the AUG start codon. In one experiment, the gene that encodes the methionine initiatortRNA (tRNA,Met) was identified and changed. Specifically, the nucleotides that specify the anticodonon the tRNA,Met were mutated so that the anticodon in the tRNA was 5'-CCA-3'. When thismutated gene was introduced into a eukaryotic cell protein synthesis occurred, but the proteinsproduced were abnormal. Some of these proteins contained extra amino acids and others containedfewer amino acids than normal. a.) What is the normal anticodon for tRNA,Met? Show how this normal anticodon would interact with the codon for methionine in the mRNA. b.) What codon does the mutant anticodon bind? What amino acid is incorporated into the polypeptide chain? Show the interaction between the mutant anticodon and the amino acid codon and finally, What do the results described above indicate about how the ribosome…

What it means when we say that genetic code is redundant? 3.) Describe the stages of transcription (in detail for each step) - what components are required? 4.) Describe the stages of translation in eukaryotes (initiation, elongation, termination)
A newly identified protein from the cells of the Panopyra plant on Pandora was shown to inhibit translation of its target genes by binding to the 5’ UTR of the mRNA and preventing ribosome binding. A possible way this inhibition may be relieved by an sRNA would be: Group of answer choices a)The sRNA acts as a silencer, suppressing the inhibitory protein and allowing translation to take place. b)The sRNA acts as a decoy, sequestering the inhibitory protein and allowing translation to take place. c)The sRNA acts as a marker, flagging the inhibitory protein for ubiquitination and allowing translation to take place.
Searching the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, researchers found approximately 4,000 DNA sites with a sequence which could potentially bind the yeast transcription factor GAL4. GAL4 activates the transcription of galactose genes. Yet there are only 10 GAL4-binding sites which control the genes necessary for galactose metabolism. The GAL4 binding sequence is CGGAT#AGAAGC*GCCG, where # is T, C or G, and * is C or T. In one chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment (ChIP), yeast growing on galactose were lysed, and subjected to cross-linking reagents which cross-linked transcription factors and activators to DNA. Next the DNA was sheared into small fragments, and antibodies to GAL4 were added. These antibodies coprecipitated the GAL4 and the DNA it was cross-linked to. The cross-linking was then chemically reversed, and the DNA was isolated, cloned into a library of plasmids and sequenced. Results showed that only 10 different DNA sequences had GAL4 bound. Since the…
