Which of the following descriptions about tandem affinity purification is not correct?
a.The interaction between calmodulin-binding peptides and calmodulin beads can be broken by adding EDT
b.In the first round of elution, TEV protease cleaves the cleavage site on the TAP-fused target protein.
c.It enables the purification of protein complexes composed of multiple protein components.
d.It is possible to perform two rounds of purification using a single TAP tag.
e.The protein A tag binds to beads that have lgG attached to them.
. Mutants of Neurospora crassa that lack carbamoyl phosphate syn-
thetase I (CPS I) require arginine in the medium in order to grow,
whereas mutants that lack carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II
(CPS II) require a pyrimidine, such as uracil. A priori, one would
expect the active CPS II in the arginine mutants to provide sufficient
carbamoyl phosphate for arginine synthesis, and the active CPS I in
the pyrimidine mutants to "feed" the pyrimidine pathway. Explain
these observations.

- Mutants that are lacY- retain the capacity to synthesizeβ-galactosidase. However, even though the lacI gene isstill intact, β-galactosidase can no longer be induced byadding lactose to the medium. Explainarrow_forwardConsider the gal10D56 reporter gene. In 300 words or fewer, describe 1) the role of GAL7 in galactose metabolism and its importance for cell function 2) the mutation present in the gal10D56 reporter gene 3) the consequence of this mutation for GAL7 expression in wild type cells, 4) the mechanism by which certain mutations can suppress the effects of gal10D56, and 5) the specific purpose for using this reporter gene.arrow_forwardIn the "biochemical assay of b-galactosidase activity", what is o-nitrophenyl-b-D-galactosidase (ONPG) used for? O When ONPG is cleaved by b-galactosidase, we are able to assay b-galactosidase activity. O It provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth. It partially disrupts the cell membrane to allow cellular proteins to diffuse out of the cell. O ONPG cleaves the b-galactosidase that is made by the lac operon so we can see how much activity there is in the cell. ONPG cleaves galactose so we can measure how much lactose there is in the cell.arrow_forward
