Referring to the locations of domains in the glucocorticoidreceptor relative to the amino- and carboxyl-terminal ends of the protein, make a drawing illustrating the binding of aglucocorticoid receptor dimer to the DNA. Label the amino and carboxyl ends, the hormone-binding domains, theDNA-binding domains, the dimerization domains, and the transactivationdomains. Introduction: In the function of glucocorticoid receptor, smaller domains like transactivation domain, DNA binding domain, and hormone binding domain play specific functional roles. For example, the carboxy terminal portion contains a domain that functions as a glucocorticoid binding site. The locations of domains in the glucocorticoid receptor relative to the amino and carboxyl terminal ends of the protein can be used to draw a hypothetical diagram of a glucocorticoid receptor dimer bound to the DNA.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
