The expected results of electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) done on the following samples: Lane 1. 600 base pair (bp) fragment containinga glucocorticoid response element (GRE) and glucocorticoid receptor. Lane 2. 600 bp segment having a GRE, glucocorticoid receptor, and glucocorticoid hormone. Lane 3. 600 bp segment with a GRE and CREB (cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding protein) protein. Lane 4. 700 bp segment having a cAMP response element (CRE) and CREB protein. Lane 5. 700 bp fragment having a CRE along with CREB protein, and hormone which causes phosphorylation of CREB protein. Lane 6. 700 bp segment with a CRE as well as glucocorticoid receptor, and glucocorticoid hormone. Introduction: Electrophoretic mobility shift assay is done to study the interaction of protein and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or the interaction of protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA). This technique is used to find out whether the given protein or the mixture of proteins can bind to a specific DNA or RNA fragment.

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
