b
b) need the help of other proteins to terminate transcription
C) are very rare in E. coli
d) none of the above
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.

- You are working in the lab, with a cell-free translational system that contains microsomes. Microsomes are artificial structures derived from pieces of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) formed during tissue homogenization. These microsomes lack the signal recognition particle or SRP. You translate an mRNA that codes for a secretory protein using this system. Which of the following outcomes do you expect? The protein will be synthesized and its signal sequence will be removed The protein will be synthesized and will be incorporated into the microsome O No protein synthesis The protein will be synthesized and will not be incorporated into the microsomearrow_forwardYou have created a green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion to a protein that is normally secreted from yeast cells. Because you have learned about the use of temperature-sensitive mutations in yeast to study protein and vesicle transport, you obtain three mutant yeast strains, each defective in some aspect of the protein secretory process. Being a good scientist, you of course also obtain a wild-type control strain. You decide to examine the fate of your GFP fusion protein in these various yeast strains and engineer the mutant strains to express your GFP fusion protein. However, in your excitement to do the experiment, you realize that you did not label any of the mutant yeast strains and no longer know which strain is defective in what process. You end up numbering your strains with the letters A to D, and then you carry out the experiment anyway, obtaining the results shown in the figure below (the black dots represent your GFP fusion protein). strain A strain B strain C strain D…arrow_forwardBreast cancer can be caused by a genetic mutation on the BRCA1 gene changing a methionine to an arginine residue in the transcribed protein. How will this mutation effect this protein? a) Polarity before and after mutation: b) Size of the region before and after the mutation: c) Tertiary interaction you would expect with substrate: d) Name an amino acid that the unaffected protein's methionine could interact:arrow_forward
- Expression of a gene, in terms of greater production of the protein it encodes, could be increased by ... Question 12 options: A) increasing transcription of that gene. B) inhibiting proteases that break down the protein it encodes C) increasing the half life of its mRNA transcript D) A and C E) A, B and Carrow_forwardYou are interested in studying a novel gene that appears to be involved in cancer. There is no information about the function of this gene. What would you do to obtain the cDNA for this gene? How would you express this gene and what expression systems might you utilize to study its function and why? How would determine the subcellular localization of this gene in eukaryotic cells? What are alternative methods in case one doesn't work? How would you purify and determine the 3-dimensional structure of this protein?arrow_forwardA scientist engineered a set of genes, each encoding a protein with two conflicting signal sequences. If the genes were expressed in a cell, predict which signals are preferred to be used and explain your choices. The sequence: a) C-terminal, signal for import into nucleus, signal for import into ER, N-terminal. b) C-terminal, signal for retention in ER, signal for import into mitochondria, N-terminal. c) Has signal for import into nucleus and signal for export from nucleus.arrow_forward
- If a gene sequence is more tightly coiled around histones, then which of the following is the most likely consequence? A) This gene is more likely to undergo mutation as it is being expressed B) This gene is unlikely to be transcribed while in this conformation C) This gene will be transcribed often while in this conformation D) This gene will be translated more efficiently .arrow_forwardATM is a kinase that phosphorylates histone H2AX in response to double-stranded DNA breaks. Which of the following scenarios would most quickly regulate ATM activity in the cell? a) Adding silencing methyl groups to cytosines in the Atm gene b) Modifying the histone code for the Atm gene c) Increasing expression of a miRNA specific for the Atm mRNA d) Activating an E3 ubiquitin ligase specific for the ATM proteinarrow_forwardi)Describe attenuation control and how it is used to regulate gene expression. ii)Give a specific example of how this works? iii)Could this be used in eukaryotes? why ?or why not?arrow_forward
- A full-length eukaryotic gene is inserted into a bacterial chromosome. The gene contains a complete promoter sequence and a functional polyadenylation sequence, and it has wild-type nucleotides throughout the transcribed region. However, the gene fails to produce a functional protein. a)List at least 3 possible reasons why this eukaryotic gene is not expressed in bacteria. b)What changes would you recommend to permit expression of this eukaryotic gene in a bacterial cell?arrow_forwardAnswer these two multiple choice questionsarrow_forwardIdentify the most mistaken (wrong) choice: a) Transcription machinery and an enhancer can bind to the chromosome at the same time. b) Organic matters may interfere with heat treatment of bacterial growth control. ( c) Nitrocellulose can be used to filter out microorganisms from a liquid solution. d) Time to kill a bacterial culture is not proportional to the number of microbes in the culturearrow_forward
