The distance of transcription bubble on E.coli genes which are being transcribed at a maximal rate should be determined. Concept introduction: RNA synthesis (transcription) is the synthesis of an RNA molecule from the nucleotide’s adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil. The nucleotides are combined together by the enzyme RNA Polymerase.

E32. In the technique of DNase I footprinting, the binding of a protein to a region of DNA protects that region from digestion by DNase I by blocking the ability of DNase I to gain access to the DNA. In the DNase I footprinting experiment shown here, a researcher began with a sample of cloned DNA 400 bp in length. This DNA contained a eukaryotic promoter for RNA polymerase II. The assembly of general transcription factors and RNA polymerase II at the core promoter is described in Chapter 12 (see Figure 12.14). For the sample loaded in lane 1, no proteins were added. For the sample loaded in lane 2, the 400-bp fragment was mixed with RNA polymerase II plus TFIID and TFIIB. 2 400 350 250 175 50 Which region of this 400-bp fragment of DNA is bound by RNA polymerase II and TFIID and TFIIB? || III ||| | ||||

protein. You create a mouse line with Cas9 under control of a brain-specific enhancer, while the short guide RNA complementary to the first exon of Gene Y is expressed in all tissues. You subsequently sequence Gene Y in both brain and liver tissue. What would expect in each tissue? You can assume that the CRISPRICas9 system will impact both copies of Gene Y in cells, and that the first exon of Gene Y is necessary for Gene Ys function. a. Liver: Functional Gene Y; Brain: Functional Gene Y b. Liver: Nonfunctional Gene Y; Brain: Funtional Gene Y c. Liver: Functional Gene Y; Brain: Nonfunctional Gene Y d. Liver: Nonfunctional Gene Y; Brain: Nonfunctional Gene Y

Part I. Structure-Function Relationships in Genes 1. Consider the "two-line model" of a gene shown below - each line represents one strand of a DNA double helix, and the transcription start site is indicated as +1. Use the two-line models provided when answering the following questions. 3' 5' +1 Assume that you know RNA polymerase will move to the right during transcription. On the diagram above, do the following: • Label "upstream" and "downstream" on this gene • Label where you would find the promoter min I • Draw a box where you would expect to find the TATA box • Draw a third line below the model representing the RNA transcript (label the ends!) • Label one of the DNA strands as the template strand 3' 2. Now, let's try that again! This time assume that you know RNA polymerase will move to the left during transcription. Repeat the same tasks as before on the diagram below: 5' 5' 3' +1 I I 5' 3'
