(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The potential effect of a mutation in the part of tRNA genes that encodes the acceptor stem.

Introduction:

Transfer RNA is an important component of translation machinery and it has a three-dimensional shape called Cloverleaf model. The binding of amino acid to transfer RNAs  (tRNAs) is the most important stage in the translation process. All  tRNAs contain CCA sequence at the 3' end, and the carboxyl group of the amino acid is coupled to the adenine nucleotide at the 3' end of the tRNA. Aminoacyl-tRNAsynthetase is a set of an enzyme that provides specificity between an amino acid and its tRNA.

What did the Cre-lox system used in the Kikuchi et al. 2010 heart regeneration experiment allow researchers to investigate?  What was the purpose of the cmlc2 promoter?  What is CreER and why was it used in this experiment?  If constitutively active Cre was driven by the cmlc2 promoter, rather than an inducible CreER system, what color would you expect new cardiomyocytes in the regenerated area to be no matter what? Why?
