Mating
Ste12

Budding
17. (8 points) Scientists are studying the transcription factors
Ste12 and Tec1. They have found that when ste12 binds to
one part of the genome alone it activates the transcription
of genes important in mating pheromones. They also found
that when Tec1 binds to another part of the genome alone
it activates the transcription of cellular budding genes.
Lastly, they found that in another part of the genome,
Ste12 and Tec1 both bind to the DNA, they activate the
transcription of genes that control the formation of filaments.
a) These proteins bind to enhancers. Is Ste12 and Tec1 activators or mediators? How do
you know?
Filamentation
b) Is this system an example of combinatorial control or coordinated control, both or
neither? Explain your answer.

- Discuss Concepts Why do you suppose cells evolved internal response mechanisms using molecules that bind GTP instead of ATP?arrow_forwardHow does NF-kB induce gene expression? A small, hydrophobic ligand binds to NF-kB, activating it. Phosphorylation of the inhibitor Ik-B dissociates the complex between it and NF- kB, and allows NF-kB to enter the nucleus and stimulate transcription. NF-kB is phosphorylated and is then free to enter the nucleus and bind DNA. NF-kB is a kinase that phosphorylates a transcription factor that binds DNA and promotes protein production.arrow_forwardMatch the primary sequence to its characteristics/function/fate v N-signal 1. mostly hydrophobic, interacts with SRP, cut off v signal-anchor 2. hydrophobic, interacts with SRP and translocon, becomes transmembrane helix v stop-anchor 3. found at carboxyl terminus of ER resident proteins, interaction with its receptor directs retrieval from Golgi v nuclear localization sequence 4. hydrophobic, interacts with translocon, becomes transmembrane helix v KDEL 5. basic, interacts with importin-alphaarrow_forward

The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) is a transcription factor that is similar to steroid hormone receptors. Thesubstance (ligand) that binds to this receptor is retinoicacid. One of the genes whose transcription is activatedby retinoic acid binding to the receptor is myoD. Thediagram that follows shows a schematic view of theRAR proteins produced by genes into which one oftwo different 12-base double-stranded oligonucleotides had been inserted in the ORF. The insertion site(a–m) associated with each mutant protein is indicatedwith the appropriate letter on the polypeptide map.For constructs encoding proteins a–e, oligonucleotide 1(5′ TTAATTAATTAA 3′ read off either strand) wasinserted into the RAR gene.

- Ⓒ Macmillan Learning Classify the given examples of prokaryotic gene expression as positive or negative gene regulation. 54 $ R In the presence of excess tryptophan, a repressor protein binds the operator of the trp operon and prevents the operon from being transcribed. In the absence of lactose, the lacR repressor protein binds the lac operon. F4 Positive gene regulation In the presence of the sugar arabinose, an activator protein binds the promoter of the genes responsible for processing arabinose and induces their transcription. In the presence of iron, the dtxR repressor protein binds DNA, and the gene that encodes for the diphtheria toxin is not expressed. % 5 In the presence of lactose and low glucose, the lac operon expressed 20-fold higher than in the absence of lactose.

LICarrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts The genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is only about 0.4% the size of the human genome, yet itcontains about 30% as many genes as are in the human genome. Given that, which of the features of the human genome would you expect to find many fewer of in the yeast genome?arrow_forwardEqualizing the Expression of X Chromosome Genes in Males and Females Males have only one X chromosome and therefore only one copy of all genes on the X chromosome. Each gene is directly expressed, thus providing the basis of hemizygosity in males. Females have two X chromosomes, but one is always inactivated. Therefore, females, like males, have only one functional copy of all the genes on the X chromosome. Again, each gene must be directly expressed. Why, then, are females not considered hemizygous, and why are they not afflicted with sex-linked recessive diseases as often as males are?arrow_forward
