Summary Introduction

(a)

To identify: The genes expressed in a specific type of brain cell.

Introduction:

A particular gene can be identified through its expression in a particular cell and its interaction with other genes. To study the gene expression, specific mRNAs corresponding to a gene of interest are to be identified and reverse transcribed to form cDNA. This sequence can be identified through RT-PCR, DNA microarray analysis, and RNA sequencing. To study a particular protein, multiple copies of the gene fragment encoding that protein are synthesized through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These gene fragments are then inserted into the expression vector to synthesize a large quantity of proteins encoded by the gene in a process known as gene cloning.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To isolate: The neurotransmitter gene expressed in brain cells.

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
