a. The eyeless gene is required for eye formation in Drosophila. It encodes a homeodomain. What would you predict about the biochemical function of the Eyeless protein?b. Where would you predict that the eyeless gene is expressed in development? How would you test your prediction? c. The Small eye and Aniridia genes of mice and humans, respectively, encode proteins with very strong sequence similarity to the fly Eyeless protein, and they are named for their effects on eye development. Devise one test to examine whether the mouse and human genes are functionally equivalent to the fly eyeless gene.
Describe the common signal transduction event that is perturbed by cancer-promoting mutations in the genes encoding RAS and NF-1. Why are mutations in RAS more commonly found in cancers than mutations in NF-1?
Using RNA-seq analysis of transcripts isolated from different organs in mice, you find that the GFAPgene is expressed only in the brain. You examine expression in glia and neurons (two different celltypes found in the brain) and determine that GFAP mRNA and protein is made only in glia. Thisgene has never been studied before, so you start by characterizing the cis-acting elements requiredfor brain-specific expression.
a. You decide to fuse pieces of DNA found upstream regions of the coding region of GAP to areporter gene (lacZ) and monitor expression. Different fragments (shown as dark lines) werecloned next to the lac gene that lacked its own promoter. M and H are restriction enzymesites. From the data shown, determine which region contains the promoter and whichregion contains an enhancer . Explain.
