- n yeast cells, telomerase remains active and maintains telomeres of about 300 base pairs. Propose what would happen to the telomeres over time in a yeast lineage in which the following mutations were created. The gene encoding the catalytic subunit of the telomerase is deleted.arrow_forwardA gene encodes a protein with the following amino acid sequence: Met-Lys-Ser-Pro-Ala-Thr-Pro A nonsense mutation caused by a single-base-pair substitution occurs in this gene, resulting in a protein with the amino acid sequence Met-Lys. An intergenic suppressor mutation allows the gene to produce the fulllength protein. With the original mutation and the intergenic suppressor present, the gene now produces a protein with the following amino acid sequence: Met-Lys-Cys-Pro-Ala-Thr-Pro Give the location and nature of the original mutation and of the intergenic suppressor.arrow_forwardAssuming that 32 million histone octamers arerequired to package the human genome, how many his-tone molecules must be transported per second pernuclear pore complex in cells whose nuclei contain 3000nuclear pores and are dividing once per day?arrow_forward

- The Dscam locus in Drosophila melanogaster has 24 exons. Four of these exons are able to undergo alternative splicing. Exon 4 has 12 possible splice variants, exon 6 has 48 variants, exon 9 has 33 variants, and exon 17 has 2 variants. If all splicing combinations are possible, how many different Dscam protein sequences could be encoded by a single allele at this locus?arrow_forwardThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae nuclear gene ARG8encodes an enzyme that catalyzes a key step in biosynthesis of the amino acid arginine. This protein isnormally synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes, butthen is transported into mitochondria, where the enzyme conducts its functions. In 1996, T. D. Fox andhis colleagues constructed a strain of yeast in which agene encoding the Arg8 protein was itself moved intomitochondria, where functional protein could besynthesized on mitochondrial ribosomes.a. How could these investigators move the ARG8gene from the nucleus into the mitochondria, whilepermitting the synthesis of active enzyme? In whatways would the investigators need to alter theARG8 gene to allow it to function in the mitochondria instead of in the nucleus?b. Why might these researchers have wished to movethe ARG8 gene into mitochondria in the firstplace?arrow_forwardDrosophila females homozygous for loss-of-functionmutations in the gene aubergine are sterile. RNA-Seqexperiments show that in the ovaries of these females,the levels of RNAs for many kinds of transposable elements are more than 10× higher than in wild-type ovaries. The aubergine gene encodes a Piwi-family protein.a. Why do you think these females are sterile?b. Piwi proteins interact with piRNAs that are transcribed from piRNA gene clusters. Given that thelevels of many kinds of TEs are elevated in mutantovaries, what kinds of DNA sequences do youthink are located in these clusters?c. Many investigators think of piRNAs as a kind ofdefensive mechanism that protects organisms fromthe effects of new transposable elements that mightbe introduced into genomes, for example fromother species.

- In the corn snake Pantherophis guttatus, there are several different color variants, including amelanistic snakes whose skin patterns display only red and yellow pigments. The cause of amelanism in these snakes was recently identified as the insertion of a transposable element into an intron in the OCA2 (oculocutaneous albinism) gene. How might the insertion of extra genetic material into an intron lead to a nonfunctional protein?

After subjectingthis mutant allele to extensive proflavin mutagenesis,you are able to find a number of intragenic suppressorslocated in the part of the gene between the sequencesencoding the N terminus of the protein and the originalmutation, but no suppressors located in the regionbetween the original mutation and the sequencesencoding the usual C terminus of the protein. Whydo you think this is the case?arrow_forward
