Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine)
a. What is the basis of inhibition by cordycepin?
b. Why is poly(A) synthesis more sensitive than the synthesis of other
RNAS to the presence of cordycepin?
c. Does cordycepin need to be modified to exert its effect?
An extra piece. In one type of mutation leading to a form of
thalassemia, the mutation of a single base (G to A) generates a new 3'
3' splice site (blue in the illustration below) akin to the normal one
(yellow) but farther upstream.

aberrant splicing? The reading frame after the splice site begins with
TCT.
I am more confused. how about we start from begining, you post answers on here, and then we go from there?
1. Identify the open reading frame in the following DNA sequence, the protein that this gene encodes for, its function, and the source.
2. "Look carefully at the DNA sequence and identify the start site for transcription"
3.
Click on the DNA sequence from the start site of transcription, select all of the sequence, and copy the sequence.
Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on BLAST on the right-hand side under “Popular Resources.” BLAST is a program that will allow you to find the protein sequence for the DNA sequence (gene) you submit. Next click on blastx (translated nucleotide protein).
Paste the DNA sequence into the box under “Entry Query Sequence.” Scroll down and click BLAST. The search may take a few seconds; the page will keep updating until the search is completed. You do not need to enter any…

CTP synthetase catalyzes the glutamine-dependent conversion of UTP to CTP. The enzyme is allosterically inhibited by the product, CTP. Mammalian cells defective in this allosteric inhibition are found to have a complex phenotype: They require thymidine in the growth medium, they have unbalanced nucleotide pools, and they have a mutator phenotype. Explain the basis for these observations.arrow_forward

- Plz answer ASAP. I will thumb up You are studying the regulation of the lactose operon in Escherichia coli, by measuring expression of the lacZ gene (i.e production of beta-galactosidase).(a) You identify several loss-of-function mutations in which lacZ is never expressed, in the presence and absence of glucose and lactose. What components of the lac operon could be mutated to produce this phenotype? List all possibilities.arrow_forwardRegulation of Genes and Their products 1. Given the following genotypes, explain how the mutation (identified by a (-) superscript) wil affect E. coll grown in lactose medium. Will the lac operon be on or off?

In terms of the trp operon, differentiate between two normal bacterial cultures, one grown in a medium supplied with tryptophan and the other medium without tryptophan. 3. Experiments show that mutations at gene E lead to non-repressible transcription of trp genes. Why?arrow_forwardCell signaling The maximum secretion rates of proteins are one type of limiting constraint on signal-ing processes since a cell cannot send a signal faster than it can secrete it. These maximum signalingrates can be estimated with maximum rates of transcription and translation. Consequently, proteins withstrong promoters can be synthesized at much higher rates. Immunoglobulins, which are important signal-ing molecules, have very strong promoters. Their maximum secretion rate is on the order of 2000 to 8000antibody molecules/cell/second, which corresponds to approximately 1 pg/cell/hr. Part AWhat would be the maximum signal (in pg/cell/hr) that a cell could send for the following situations: (1)Signal molecule A has a MW = 100,000 daltons and is secreted at a rate of 1000 molecules/cell/second.
