Gene Expression:
14) Look at the diagram:
a) For each of the molecules in the diagram, identify what type of molecule
they are, and label their ends (3',5',N,C).
b) For each arrow, name the process and identify the major enzymes
involved.
c) Where do each of these activities take place in a bacterial cell? In a
eukaryotic cell? Draw a picture if it helps you explain it.

IRF is an RNA binding protein, which binds to a specific RNA sequence, the Iron Response Element (IRE). When the IRF protein binds to the IRE sequence in the mRNA that codes for transferrin, what effect does this have on the expression of transferrin? Briefly explain why this effect is observed.arrow_forward
