Summary Introduction

To predict: The function of the gene in C. elegans that resulted in the inability of worm to touch when it is exposed to an RNAi molecule homologous to a non-protein-coding RNA gene.

Concept introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are non-coding RNA sequences that regulate the gene function and expression. They are approximately 20-30 nucleotides long. They bind to the complementary RNA sequences and decrease the expression. This comes under RNA interference (RNAi).

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
