Chapter 17.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
A collection of the total genomic DNA from a single organism is called a genomic library. In the genomic library, the DNA is stockpiled in a population of identical vectors. Each of them carries a different insert of DNA. The genomic library is constructed by cleaving the genome of an organism into many fragments. Each of the fragments is cloned into a vector in order to synthesize a unique recombinant plasmid.

Describes a method known as Western blotting that can be used to detect a polypeptide that is translated from a particular mRNA. In this method, a particular polypeptide or protein is detected by an antibody that specifically recognizes a segment of its amino acid sequence. After the antibody binds to the polypeptide within a gel, a secondary antibody (which is labeled) is used to visualize the polypeptide as a dark band.For example, an antibody that recognizes α-galactosidase A couldbe used to specifically detect the amount of α-galactosidase A proteinon a gel. The enzyme α-galactosidase A is defective in individuals with Fabry disease, which shows an X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance. Amy, Nan, and Pete are siblings, and Pete has Fabry disease. Aileen, Jason, and Jerry are brothers and sister, and Jerry has Fabry disease. Amy, Nan, and Pete are not related to Aileen, Jason, and Jerry. Amy, Nan, and Aileen are concerned that they could be carriers of a defective…

- Termicin is a small antifungal protein in termites that is produced by cells and secreted into termite saliva in response to a pathogen. In vitro translation of the termicin-encoding gene is performed, and the effects of that product are compared to those of termicin extracted from a termite. You see that extracted termicin exhibits more antifungal behavior than in vitro translated termicin. After further analysis, you see that extracted termicin contains 3 disulfide bonds, while in vitro translated termicin contains zero. The addition of microsomes to the in vitro translation reaction results in termicin with all 3 disulfide bonds. What experimental condition is most likely responsible for this difference? A. in vitro translation was not performed at the correct temperature affecting protein folding B. a mutation occurred during in vitro translation, leading to differences in disulfide bond formation O C. the UPR can not be activated in vitro, therefore, this protein can only be…arrow_forwardDiscuss the following statement: “from the nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone, the complete amino acid sequence of a protein can be deduced by applying the genetic code. thus, protein biochemistry has become superfluous because there is nothing more that can be learned by studying the protein.”arrow_forwardwhat is the nature and likely location(s) of a mutant that would, 1)allow constitutive expression of the lac gene? 2)prevent the cell from responding to lactose ( genes are not induced when exposed to lactose)? 3) not allow the cell to utilize lactose even when the genes are inducedarrow_forward
