If a mutation occurred in the pRM promoter that rendered this promoter as ‘nonfunctional and unable to allow for transcription to occur’, what would be the outcome?
When the amino acid levels in eukaryotic cells are low, general protein synthesis is reduced. Gcn4 translation, however, is increased. A. Why? B. In general, what is the mechanism by which Gcn4 levels are increased? C. What would happen under high and low amino acid conditions if only one of the upstream ORFs were deleted from Gcn4? D. What would happen under high and low amino acid conditions if all of the upstream ORFs were deleted from Gcn4?
What are the functions of transcriptional activator proteins and repressor proteins? Explain how they work at the molecular level.
a) What is a gene promoter? b) What proteins bind to a promoter? c) What do those proteins do to control gene expression?
You are studying the rate of transcription of a particular eukaryotic gene. When the DNA located several thousand bases upstream from the gene is removed, the transcription rate of the gene decreases dramatically. How would you interpret these results?
Which sequence is most likely to be found in a promoter? a) CGGTGTATATCGTAC b) GTACAGTCATCCCGT c) AAATCTACTACGATT d) GGGTTGGGTTGGGTT
Transcriptional regulators are proteins that bind to promoters (the 5-flanking regions of genes) to regulate their transcription. Assume that a particular transcription regulator normally promotes transcription of gene X, a transport protein. If a mutation makes this regulator gene nonfunctional, would the resulting phenotype be similar to a mutation in gene X itself? Why or why not?
A mutation has occurred that is inhibiting transcription elongation in a strain of yeast. Preliminary tests (using S1 nuclease) show that a pre-initiation complex forms, but no open promoter is forming. a) why was s1 nuclease used? b) where do you think the mutation is occurring, and whats the significance of this mutation? How could you test your answer?
With regard to transcriptional termination in eukaryotes, which model suggests that RNA polymerase is physically removed from the DNA? a. Allosteric model b. Torpedo model c. Both models d. Neither model
A certain Drosophila protein-encoding gene has one intron. If a large sample of null alleles of this gene is examined, will any of the mutant sites be expecteda. in the exons?b. in the intron?c. in the promoter?d. in the intron–exon boundary?
What are general transcription factors? When do you expect to find them? What is a cis acting regulatory sequence? Where are they located in comparison with the gene they are regulating?
What are transcription factors and why are they important? Explain.
