Summary Introduction
To review:
A. The prevention of the function of the glucocorticoid receptor.
B. The enzyme required to inhibit the transcription activation by CREB protein.
Introduction:
The CREB protein(cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein) and the glucocorticoid receptors work asactivators of transcription of genes. Specific sites on DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)gets bind with CREB protein and promote the transcription of target genes. They regulate the gene expression in a cell.

Now read this abstract from a 2013 journal article What is the authors' explanation of how Gal80p works?
Note UASG from the question above is the same as UASGAL
The DNA-binding transcriptional activator Gal4 and its regulators Gal80 and Gal3 constitute a galactose-responsive switch for
the GAL genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Gal4 binds to GAL gene UASGAL. (upstream activation sequence in GAL gene pro-
moter) sites as a dimer via its N-terminal domain and activates transcription via a C-terminal transcription activation domain
(AD). In the absence of galactose, a Gal80 dimer binds to a dimer of Gal4, masking the Gal4AD. Galactose triggers Gal3-Gal80
interaction to rapidly initiate Gal4-mediated transcription activation. Just how Gal3 alters Gal80 to relieve Gals0 inhibition of
Gal4 has been unknown, but previous analyses of Gal80 mutants suggested a possible competition between Gal3-Gal80 and
Gal80 self-association interactions. Here we assayed Gal80-Gal80 interactions and tested for…
Some elongation factors are evolutionarily related to the G-proteins involved in signal transduction. Provide a possible reason why this is the case.
If I have discovered a mutation in the glucocorticoid reception that does not prevent thebinding of glucocorticoid hormone to the protein but prevents the ability of the receptor toactivate transcription, what are all of the possible defects that may explain why transcriptioncannot be activated?

- Many currently marketed drugs exert their pharmacological effects by binding to ligand-activated transcription factors and modulating gene expression. One example, are various drugs that target the estrogen receptor to treat breast cancer, osteoporosis and post-menopausal symptoms. Below is a ChIP experiment examining the effects of no drug treatment (C), the natural hormone estrogen (E) and the drugs tamoxifen (T) and raloxifene (R) on recruitment of coactivators (SRC-1 and CBP), Histone Deacetylase Complexes (HDACs) and acetylation of histones associated with the C-myc gene. Which of the following statements are correct based on this data (select all that apply)?arrow_forwardThe ras protein is a mutated G protein that lacks GTPase activity. How does the absence of this activity affect the adenylyl cyclase pathway?arrow_forwardPhorbol esters have been observed to induce the transcription of AP-1–influenced genes. Explain how this processcould occur. What are the consequences of AP-1 transcription? What role does intermittent exposure to phorbol estershave on an individual’s health?arrow_forward
- Proteins that are retained in the ER have a KDEL sequence at their C-terminus. To test the idea that KDEL is both necessary and sufficient for retention in the ER, two experiments were performed. First, it was deleted from protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), and this form of PDI got secreted. Second, it was attached to a peptide growth hormone, which is normally secreted from the cell. This modified peptide still got secreted. Which interpretation does this support? The data do not allow for an interpretation, additional experiments are needed. KDEL is sufficient but not necessary for ER retention. KDEL is both necessary and sufficient for ER retention. KDEL is necessary but not sufficient for ER retention.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the term transcription factor modulation?

- The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene Rb (RB1) codes forthe retinoblastoma protein (pRB). pRB prevents the progression of the cell cycle through G1 if DNA has been damaged. Itdoes so in part because it binds a transcription-activatingdimer referred to as E2F-DP. The pRB-E2F/DP complex recruits a histone deacetylase to chromatin.
