Q5 /Early termination via premature transcriptional termination (PTT) provides another level of transcriptional control. TSS is known to be caused by high accumulation of RNA Polymerase II depending on the action of NEF (negative elongation factor) and DSIF (DRB sensitivity- inducing factor). Evaluate factors that may contribute to high accumulation of RNA Polymerase II as mentioned earlier.

Q1: As illustrated here, at what control point is transcription regulated? Q2: What is a possible advantage of regulating gene expression before transcription, versus after? Q3: If you wanted to up-regulate production of the hemagglutinin protein in a tobacco plant carrying the hemagglutinin gene, at which control point(s) would that be possible? Justify your reasoning.
Q1/ There are similarities and differences during regulation of gene expression in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Promoters, transcription factors and RNA polymerase are essential elements in transcription but their properties and function may differ. c) Although eukaryotic and prokaryotic RNA polymerases are homologous to one another, defend the unsuitable use of prokaryotic RNA polymerase for transcription of eukaryotic gene.
Plz do explain.Thanks Question:- Many types of breast cancer have chromosomal translocation mutations. What scenario best describes, what occurs during this type of mutation, causing cells to proliferate abnormally? Chromosomal translocations may place the gene downstream near the promoter region, therefore causing over-expression of the gene The gene may be placed in the transcription start site, downstream of the gene, initiating transcription by recruiting polymerase II Translocation mutations will initiate the transcription of mRNA in the cytoplasm of the cell catalyzing protein synthesis. Chromosomal translocations can sometimes place a gene under the control of a powerful enhancer, upstream.
Discuss Concepts In a mutant strain of E. coli, the CAP protein is unable to combine with its target region of the lac operon. How would you expect the mutation to affect transcription when cells of this strain are subjected to the following conditions? Lactose and glucose are both available. Lactose is available but glucose is not. Both lactose and glucose are unavailable.
Q1. Bioluminescence is emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri in response to the concentration of a chemical signal. The luxCDABEG genes form part of an operon that encodes all of the structural components necessary for light production. At high cell density, the concentration of the inducer increases and can bind to LuxR protein which then activates transcription of the operon. What kind of operon is the Lux operon? [Positive Inducible, Positive Repressible, Negative Inducible, Negative Repressible?] Q2. A population of bacteria has a Lux operon that produces bioluminesence via an autoinducer that activates a transcription factor. You grow a flask of cells that have a loss-of-function mutation in the gene that encodes the enzyme that produces an autoinducer. What is the predicted bioluminesence in this population at high and low density?
3′-->5′ Exonuclease activity allows DNA polymerase III (Pol III) to back-up and fix a mismatched base pair that was just incorporated into a growing strand of new DNA. True Or False In one of the four ways to regulate gene expression, positive control with repression indicates that transcription is activated in the presence of a co-repressor. True Or False

1. In a couple of sentences, explain how eukaryotic activator proteins (that are usually gene-specific transcription factors) can enhance transcription even when bound to sequences hundreds or thousands of nucleotide pairs away from a gene’s promoter. 2. Describe three common characteristics of transcription factors. The characteristics may relate to structure, or mechanism of action (PLEASE ANSWER BOTH PLEASE)
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?
Explain in detail the role of super-enhancers. Give some examples. How the super-enhancers can be identified?
Question: The beow are basics of transcription steps: Nucleosome remodeling to encourage transcriptional machinery to bind to a promoter. Pre-initiation that includes TFs binding to a core promoter sequence that recruit activators, repressors and RNA polymerase creating a pre-initiation complex. Initiation requires helicase activity to "unwind" the DNA. Promoter clearance involves the RNA polymerase unwinding and pulling DNA into the transcription complex. Consider that there is a high rate of abortion, which means promoter clearance does not occur and therefore transcription does not occur. Elongation occurs using one strand of the DNA in the 3' to 5' direction to produce a complimentary copy of the gene as a single stranded RNA molecule. Recall AT and GC associations. In RNA, the T is substituted with a U (uracil). Termination involves cleavage of the new RNA and the addition of adenines at the 3" end, which are important for translation as will be discussed in unit 4. 1.…
