- 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?B. Briefly describe how can RNA seq be used to quantify differential gene expression between two types of tissues, e.g. normal vs cancer tissue. What is actually measured /counted to quantify the difference?A) List the steps for gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. B) Relate the differences in gene expression between prokaryotes and eukaryotes in gene expression regulation and explain what causes those differences.
- Protein levels and mRNA levels for a particualr gene don’t always match. For example, the GCN4 gene in yeast is always producing mRNA, but the Gcn4 protein is only made when the cells are starved. B. What does this mean for diagnostic techniques that try to look at gene expression?A genon wide analyst of human genome indicated that approximately 1500 genes encoded transcription factors that are important for sequence specific gene expression. based on this information approximately what percentage of the protein coding genes in human belong to the transcription factors? A. 15% B. 5% C. 7.5% D.1.5%a) What is a mutation in molecular terms? b) a mutation deletes a base in the genomic DNA discuss how that will affect the reading frame and expression product production. Using the following list of codons describe, using diagrams etc., how information stored in the DNA is translated into a peptide. Be sure to discuss all steps. In other words, use a diagram and give me sequences, transcription and translation steps. Show the sequences of the sense and the other DNA strand, the mRNA and the tRNA’s. UUU -phenylalanine UCU -serine AUG –initiation/methionine CUU -leucine ACU -threonine GUU -valine UAA -Termination

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.The pre-mRNA transcript and protein made by several mutant genes were examined. The results are given below. Determine where in the gene a likely mutation lies: the promoter region, exon, intron, cap on mRNA, or ribosome binding site. a. normal-length transcript, normal-length nonfunctional protein b. normal-length transcript, no protein made c. normal-length transcript, normal-length mRNA, short nonfunctional protein d. normal-length transcript, longer mRNA, shorter nonfunctional protein e. transcript never madeGive two examples of how DNA bases and chromatincan be modified to regulate gene expression, and explainwhy these kinds of modifications result in increased ordecreased gene expression.
