Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The coupling of the transcription and translation in eukaryotic cells.
Introduction:
The central dogma states that flow of genetic material occurs in two steps, transcription and translation. The RNA (ribonucleic acid) is synthesized from DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and the process is called transcription. The translation is the process, in which RNA synthesize proteins.

- As a researcher who studies cytoskeletal dynamics, you create a microtubule subunit that cannot hydrolyze GTP. How would the critical concentration for the minus end of a polymer formed by these mutant subunits compare to that of the minus end of a fiber formed by normal microtubule subunits? Why?

- You are studying the M-cyclin. You treat mitotic cells with an inhibitor of the proteasome and find that M-cyclin is no longer degraded and that this prolongs mitosis. You also find that in the presence of the inhibitor, M-cyclin is now running slower/larger in a Western than you have previously observed. In 1-2 sentences, explain why this might be happening.
