Here is the model for TfR mRNA regulation (see Fig.), for your convenience. Orange protein (IRP or IREBP), when bound to RNA, protects mRNA from degradation. When Fe is bound to the protein, it cannot bind the mRNA. If you made a radioactive DNA probe specific to TfR mRNA and performed a Northern blot analysis (to detect mRNA) from cells treated with high iron (Fe) concentration what would you expect to see? (a) Low iron Degradation O The result would be the same as untreated cells O High levels of RNase O Low levels of TfR mRNA O High levels of IRP (or IREBP - iron responsive element binding protein) O High levels of TfR mRNA
