Question
Chapter 32, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Differences between the -10 and -35 sequences of λ repressor and Cro genes should be determined.
Concept introduction:
λ repressor inactivated state binds to OR1 and OR2 sites and inhibits the transcription of phage gene. On the other hand, Cro protein binds to the same sites, to which λ repressor binds. In this way, the Cro protein inhibits the action of λ repressor.

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

- Leaderless. The MRNA for the A repressor begins with 5'-AUG-3', 5'-AUG-3', which encodes the methionine residue that begins the protein. What is unusual about this beginning? Would it cause the MRNA to translate efficiently or not?arrow_forwardI 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.

- proteins. Which of the following will tell you whether a protein would be found in the lumen of the ER? A. You run a hydropathy plot an look for hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids B. You isolate microsomes and see whether the proteins are inserted into the membrane of the microsome C. You run a hydropathy plot an look for a lack of hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids O D. You do in vitro translation of each protein in the presence or absence of microsomes and look to see whether there is a size change in the presence of microsomes.arrow_forwardLike the lac operon, the hexose operon is controlled by a separate regulatory protein under the control of its own promoter (see the schematic of the operon below). The hexose regulatory protein is sensitive to fatty acyl CoA levels. When all hexose fuel sources are depleted, the bacteria switch to lipid metabolism and fatty acyl CoA levels increase. This turns expression of the hexose operon off. +1 +1 Regulatory Gene Pregulator Poperon O Hexose Operon Genes regulator promoter operon promoterarrow_forwardNeed help with a matching problem.arrow_forward
- Transcriptional regulation You are interested in studying the transcriptional regulation of Glp1 promoter. This gene contains a binding site for two proteins A and B. Proteins A and B cannot bind to the DNA at the same time due to steric interference caused by a slight overlap in their binding sites. The binding sites of protein A and protein B can be seen in the figure below. Protein A binds to Site C and Protein B binds to site D. To assess whether either A or B have an influence on Glp1 expression, you create mutations in the DNA that selectively remove the non-overlapping sequences of binding site C or binding site D. You then examine Glp1 mRNA production within adult liver cells. You receive the following data. Experiment number Binding site C Binding site D Glp1 mRNA levels 1 + + high 2 + - high 3 - + none 4 - - none += binding site present, -= binding site absent What does this data tell us about which protein is…arrow_forwardAsap fully explain please.arrow_forwardExplain well.
