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?
A membrane-associated protein kinase has the sequence -GMCLVS at its C-terminus, which has been shown by mutagenesis to be essential for its biological function and sub cellular location.a) What is the most likely post-translational modification that this motif would be susceptible to?b) How is this modification introduced to the protein?c) What is the likely effect of this modification on the behaviour of the protein?d) What other modification to N-terminus of the protein might achieve a similar effect on the behaviour of the protein?
a. Would you expect a cell to continue or to stopdividing at a nonpermissive high temperature if itis a temperature-sensitive Ras mutant whose protein product is fixed in the GTP-bound form atnonpermissive temperature?b. What would you expect if you had a temperaturesensitive mutant in which the Ras protein staysin the GDP-bound form at high temperature?
Discuss the following argument: “if the expression of every gene depends on a set of transcription regulators, then the expression of these regulators must also depend on the expression of other regulators, and their expression must depend on the expression of still other regulators, and so on. cells would therefore need an infinite number of genes, most of which would code for transcription regulators.” how does the cell get by without having to achieve the impossible?
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?

An enhancer is surrounded by four genes (A, B, C, and D), as shown in the accompanying diagram. An insulator lies between gene C and gene D. On the basis of the positions of the genes, the enhancer, and the insulator, the transcription of which genes is most likely to be stimulated by the enhancer? Explain your reasoning.
The yeast gene SER3, whose product has a role in serine biosynthesis, is repressed during growth in nutrient-rich medium, so little transcription takes place, and little SER3 enzyme is produced, under these conditions. In an investigation of the repression of the SER3 gene, a region of DNA upstream of SER3 was found to be heavily transcribed when SER3 is repressed ). Within this upstream region is a promoter that stimulates the transcription of an RNA molecule called SRG1 RNA (for SER3 regulatory gene 1). This RNA molecule has none of the sequences necessary for translation. Mutations in the promoter for SRG1 result in the disappearance of SRG1 RNA, and these mutations remove the repression of SER3. When RNA polymerase binds to the SRG1 promoter, the polymerase travels downstream, transcribing the SGR1 RNA, and passes through and transcribes the promoter for SER3. This activity leads to the repression of SER3. Propose a possible explanation for how the transcription of SGR1 might…
Your investors are concerned that the GasP protein might not be sufficiently produced under normal laboratory conditions. They suggest controlling the transcription of the gasP gene using a chemical that will “trigger” its transcription. a. What type of promoter could be used? b. What chemical will you use to control transcription? c. How does this method of control work?
The binding of a small effector molecule, protein-protein interactions, and covalent modifications are three common ways to modulate the activities of transcription factors. Which of these three mechanisms are used by steroid receptors and by the CREB protein?
A. Based on this data, draw a conclusion about the promoter elements that Caudal specifically upregulates. B. Dr. Juven-Gershon also tested Caudal activation of core promoter sequences from twoother genes. Similar to the first experiment, one was DPE-dependent (from the E74Bgene), and the other was TATA-dependent (from the Adh gene). However, these two corepromoters lacked the BREU motif. The results from these additional core promoters areshown below. Based on these results and those shown above, propose a hypothesis thatexplains the differences in Caudal-mediated upregulation among all the different corepromoters Dr. Juven-Gershon tested. C. To test your hypothesis from Question 3B, you plan perform the same method of genereporter assays that Dr. Juven-Gershon has done. However, you will need to do somemutations to alter the core promoters. Make diagrams or clearly describe all the variouscore promoters mutants you wish to test. These include your controls, as well as any…
A. Identify the mutation(s) that lead to the most loss in transcriptional activity, and discusswhether those match expectations based on the consensus sequence for the Initiator.B. Hypothesize a molecular mechanism to explain how the mutations identified in Part Aresult in loss of transcription activity.C. Identify whether any mutations cause transcription to initiate from a different positionthan wild-type, and provide a brief explanation as to why that occurs for those mutantcore promoters.
