POST-ACTIVITY SKIL 1. The E2F family of transcription factors is important in regulating the cell cycle and has a role in cancer. These DNA binding proteins have conserved helix-turn-helix motifs that interact with DNA (NOTE: The DNA is represented as a stick diagram, whereas the protein is represented as helical ribbons.) Consider the protein a helix indicated by the arrow. This helix is approximately 16 amino acids in length and runs along side the DNA. Suggest a sequence for this 16 amino acid helix and provide a justification for your answer. Picture from Meinhart, A. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2003;278:48267-48274 (used by permission). DNA View this skill exercise as an opportunity to practice scientific argumentation. Therefore the justification will be the most important aspect of your answer.

Central Dogma of Molecular Biology from DNA to RNA to Protein, discussing the principles underlying the transfer of information in a biologic system and its regulation. However, recent research seems to challenge certain aspects of Crick’s Central Dogma. Does the Central Dogma still stand today? If not, can you find an example for a type of information transfer that is not explicitly covered by the Central Dogma (or even violates it)?
