Match each example of mutation to the correct effect on function. Hypomorphic mutation Hypermorphic mutation Antimorphic mutation Neomorphic A deletion results in the loss of part of a protein and the protein retains some of its normal activity. A mutant allele makes a protein with increased cataytic activity. A mutant form of a transcription factor binds new DNA sequences to activate different genes. A mutant from of a receptor protein interferes with the function of the wild-type receptor through heterodimerization.

You have isolated a protein that binds to DNA in theregion upstream of the promoter sequence of the sysgene. If this protein is a positive regulator, which ofthe following would be true?a. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encodingthe DNA-binding protein would cause constitutiveexpression of sys.b. Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encodingthe DNA-binding protein would result in little orno expression of sys.
Many genes whose expression is turned on by DNAdamage have been isolated. Loss-of-function mutations in the lexA gene lead to the expression of manyof these genes, even when there has been no DNAdamage. Would you hypothesize that LexA protein isa positive or a negative regulator? Why?

Researchers have successfully used gene therapy toameliorate some human genetic diseases by adding anormal gene copy to cells whose genomes originallyhad only nonfunctional mutant copies of that gene.For example, a form of blindness due to the lack of asingle protein called RPE65 has been reversed byintroduction of a normal RPE65 gene to cells of theretina of adults.a. The success of this gene therapy approach providesus with clues about the role of the RPE65 proteinin the retina. Do you think that RPE65 is neededfor the proper development of the human eye?b. Can you see a potential difficulty in applying this genetherapy approach for diseases like microcephaly?
