The diagram below shows a closeup of regulatory proteins binding to one of the UASG elements near the GAL7, GALIO, and GALI genes, which code for the protein products needed for yeast to use the sugar galactose. The red triangle symbolizes an "effector" molecule that binds to Gal80p. In this hypothesis (which has since been shown to be incorrect), what could be happening to Gal80p when it is bound to the effector molecule that causes it to change its position and uncover the Gal4p transcriptional activation domain. Hint: think about w hat effector molecules do upon binding to proteins such as the the Lac repressor protein or the CAP protein.

Searching the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, researchers found approximately 4,000 DNA sites with a sequence which could potentially bind the yeast transcription factor GAL4. GAL4 activates the transcription of galactose genes. Yet there are only 10 GAL4-binding sites which control the genes necessary for galactose metabolism. The GAL4 binding sequence is CGGAT#AGAAGC*GCCG, where # is T, C or G, and * is C or T. In one chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment (ChIP), yeast growing on galactose were lysed, and subjected to cross-linking reagents which cross-linked transcription factors and activators to DNA. Next the DNA was sheared into small fragments, and antibodies to GAL4 were added. These antibodies coprecipitated the GAL4 and the DNA it was cross-linked to. The cross-linking was then chemically reversed, and the DNA was isolated, cloned into a library of plasmids and sequenced. Results showed that only 10 different DNA sequences had GAL4 bound. Since the…
A C-terminal KDEL tetrapeptide was identified by “sequence gazing” as a possiblesignal for keeping resident ER proteins in the ER. This idea is now described in yourtextbook as established fact. What types of experiments do you think were performedto confirm that KDEL serves as an ER localization signal?
The ras protein is a mutated G protein that lacks GTPase activity. How does the absence of this activity affect the adenylyl cyclase pathway?
Members of the integrin family are the major cell surface receptors for many ECM proteins such as fibronectin. In experimental studies, single integrin heterodimers have been found to assume more than one structural conformation. Describe the relationship between integrin structures and their activities.
Explain the role/importance of the localization of GTPase-activating protein (Ran-GAP) in BOTH nuclear export and import. What would occur if there was a loss of function mutation in Ran-GAP? What would occur if Ran-GAP was localized in the nucleus?
What is a second messenger? What are two second messengers that are involved in signaling pathways downstream of GPCRs and explain how they are produced? long answer: If you wanted to compare a cardiac muscle cell with a skeletal muscle, how could you use RNA sequencing to identify genes that are differentially expressed? In your answer, explain this technique and describe what type of information you can learn from it. If RNA sequencing led to the identification of two genes, gene X and gene Y, what are two experiments you could do to study the functions of these two genes?
Some elongation factors are evolutionarily related to the G-proteins involved in signal transduction. Provide a possible reason why this is the case.
Briefly describe the following properties of the Rab and Arf GTPases: a) Size, structure and cellular localization (for structure I want to know if they are lipidated and any other unique features) , b) How are they activated and inactivated (i.e. include the GEFs and GAPs), c). Give an example of downstream cellular effects.
ATM is a kinase that phosphorylates histone H2AX in response to double-stranded DNA breaks. Which of the following scenarios would most quickly regulate ATM activity in the cell? a) Adding silencing methyl groups to cytosines in the Atm gene b) Modifying the histone code for the Atm gene c) Increasing expression of a miRNA specific for the Atm mRNA d) Activating an E3 ubiquitin ligase specific for the ATM protein
. An interesting mutation in lacI results in repressorswith 110-fold increased binding to both operator andnonoperator DNA. These repressors display a “reverse”induction curve, allowing β-galactosidase synthesis inthe absence of an inducer (IPTG) but partly repressingβ-galactosidase expression in the presence of IPTG. Howcan you explain this? (Note that, when IPTG binds a repressor, it does not completely destroy operator affinity,but rather it reduces affinity 110-fold. Additionally, ascells divide and new operators are generated by thesynthesis of daughter strands, the repressor must findthe new operators by searching along the DNA, rapidlybinding to nonoperator sequences and dissociating fromthem.)
Using baker's yeast it is possible to generate point mutations that destroy the kinase activity of CDK9/P-TEFB protein kinase. When genome-wide ChIP studies using anti-phosphorylated CTD antibodies and RNA-seq analysis of the mRNA purified from these cells were performed it was found that RNA Polymerase II was present in the 5' region of the coding regions of most protein coding genes, but mRNA levels were reduced for all genes tested. The cells that had this mutation were very sick and the mutation caused many of the cells to die. The abundance of mature mRNAs was lower than in non-mutant cells, and often lower than the levels of their corresponding pre-mRNA. Some of the mature mRNAs had short poly A tails and some were detected with none at all. Based on this information: Why are the poly A tails affected in this mutant?
