8. Professor X at the University of Hong Kong recently identified a new gene "LivX" which is only expressed in liver. He wanted to identify the cis-regulatory elements and trans-acting factors that control the expression of LivX. As his assistant, you were asked to design an experimental plan to achieve this purpose. You answer should include the name of assays to be used, the rationale of performing the assays, and the expected conclusion/information obtained from the assay result. An example of the experiment plan: • XXX assay will first be done. The reason of doing this assay is to AAA. Result of assay will tell HHH. this ● ● Because experiment 1 cannot tell ZZZ, YYY assay should be done. This experiment will identify EEE. To further study BBB, assay CCC should be performed. Results will validate DDD.

1) Antibiotic-resistance is one of the gravest dangers to the world’s medical system. As a result, Dr. Jhon Peῆa decides to apply for a research grant from the NIH to investigate novel targets for antibiotic treatment in his lab. Most bacteria have developed resistance to counter the effects of the current crop of antibiotics, which largely target the cell wall, plasma membrane, or ribosomes. Dr. Peῆa’s team has instead been investigating bacterial transcriptional sites and all of his students are asked to attend a group Zoom meeting to discuss ideas to put into the grant. The lab technician, Jazmin, wonders if anyone thought of blocking the entrance way to the ribosome, the translator of mRNA? What does the rest of the lab think? a Considering the grant is for transcriptional targets, this makes no sense. b This makes perfect sense since the bacterial ribosome has a different structure than the eukaryotic ribosome, which everyone learns in Intro Bio in their…

4) Suppose you have an E. coli in which the gene that codes for the lac repressor protein has been mutated in such a way that the protein produced can bind to both lactose and DNA (at its specific binding site in the lac operon promoter) simultaneously. What effect, if any, would this have on regulation of expression of the lac operon? Briefly (1 sentence) explain why you would predict the effect or lack of effect this mutation would have.
