a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

R1 and SuB mutations are intragenic suppressors or intergenic suppressors.

Introduction:

Person B and Person C conducted nonsense mutation on E. coli strain. During mutation, the structural gene encodes an enzyme called L-ribulokinase that allows the bacteria to metabolize arabinose sugar. The revertants of mutant strain showed two different suppressor mutation R1 and SuB. R1is the original mutation in L-ribulokinase and not able to metabolize arabinose sugar as the enzyme encoded by the wild type allele. The second suppressor mutation SuB is not linked to the original mutation. However, the second suppressor able to produce L-ribulokinase in conjunction with R1 mutation

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The way in which R1 and SuB restore the ability of araB14 to metabolize arabinose and why SuB is able to more fully restore this ability.

Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.
