7. You have identified three fractions, A, B and C that contribute to transcription of your favorite gene. Your initial experiments suggest that each fraction contains either an activator of transcription or a co-activator. You perform a band shift experiment on different combinations of your fractions and obtain the data in the image below.
Which of your fraction(s) most likely contain an activator protein and which most likely contain a coactivator?
A. A most likely contains an activator, and B and C most likely contain a co-activator
B. B most likely contains an activator, and A and C most likely contain a co-activator
C. C most likely contains an activator, and A and B most likely contain a co-activator
D. A and B most likely contain an activator, and C most likely contains a co-activator
E. A and C most likely contain an activator, and B most likely contains a co-activator
F. B and C most likely contain an activator, and A most likely contains a co-activator
E. A and C most likely contain an activator, and B most likely contains a co-activator.
Lane 1 represents the transcript band in the absence of A, B or C. A and C when used alone increases the size and mobility of the transcript unlike B. When A and C are used, a cumulative increase in the size and mobility is observed whereas when B is used in combination with A or C, the shift observed is corresponding to that of A or C only. The addition of fractions A, B and C altogether shows a higher shift compared to that of when A and C are used. This indicates that A and c are capable of bind to the nucleic acid element directly hence they are most likely activators. On the other hand, B can bind only when A and C are bound to the transcript, which indicates that B mostl likely contains a co-activator.

You have identified a gene that produces a small RNA. You find
that it is transcribed by RNA polymerase III. Because it enodes an
RNA that is not related to tRNAs or the 5S ribosomal RNA you wonder
if the same factors are required for transcription of your gene.
You find that TFIIIB, TFIIIC and RNAPIII are not sufficient to
transcribe your gene in vitro. You decide to try to purify
the factors that are needed for transcription of your...
You are studying a signal transduction pathway. Activation of your pathway results in activation of transcription of a gene that you are studying. In addition, activation of the signal transduction pathway results in phosphorylation of a number of effector proteins. Which of the following is most likely an effector protein of your signal transduction pathway that regulates transcription of your gene? A. An activator protein B. A coactivator protein C. A HAT D. A basal factor E. RNAPII
You have developed an activator of a non-receptor tyrosine kinase. In three different cell types that all contain this receptor your drug has different effects. In cell type A you see activation of gene X and gene Y; in cell type B you note activation of Gene X, but no change in the mRNA levels for Gene Y. In cell type C your drug has no effect on either Gene X or Y. Describe how could each choice (A-D) be...

In C# programming. Create a fractions class that represents fractions in the form a/b Your class should implement the following members: int Numerator int Denominator Fraction(int numerator, int denominator) creates a new Fraction double ToDecimal() returns the fraction as a double Fraction Add(Fraction f) adds the fraction to the one passed in and simplifies the result Fraction Multiply(Fraction f) multiplies the fraction by the one passed in and simplifies the result Fraction Simplify() simplifies the...
You have identified a novel activator protein. You assume that
like other activators, your protein has activation and DNA binding
domains. You carry out deletion analysis on the part of the ORF
that codes for the C-terminal end of your activator and assay both
DNA binding and transcription. You obtain the results indicated in
the figure below. Answer the following 3 parts (i,ii, &
iii) based on this information.
i. Which most accurately describes which part of the protein
contains...

IFN-B level (% wildtype) The transcription and production of a protein called interferon-beta (IFN-B) is regulated by a transcription factor called IRF3, which binds to DNA as a dimer of two 30KD monomeric proteins. The DNA- binding site of IRF3 contains the following amino acids: Arg - Lys -lle. Thr. I create four mutants of IRF3 by changing one of the amino acids of the DNA-binding site to serine, and then measure the levels of IFN- I transcripts made...

Question 7 3 pts The transcription and production of a protein called interferon-beta (FNB) is regulated VF-Blevel by a transcription factor called IRF3 which binds to DNA as a dimer of two 30KD Mutation monomeric proteins. The DNA-binding site of RF3 contains the following amino acids. Nere Arg - Lys - lle - Thr. I create four mutants of IRF3 by changing one of the amino acids of AD the DNA-binding site to serine, and then...
Yet, all the cells in your body contain the same
genes (and same alleles). The difference across cell types
is that genes get selectively expressed (turned on or off)
based on the proteins needed for cellular function given their
environment.
Select which statement explains the reason why hair does not
normally grow on your muscle cells.
a.
Muscle cells have the gene for keratin, but do not express
it
b.
Muscle cells do not have the gene for keratin and...
You have carried out a two-hybrid screen with your favorite gene
(which codes for your favorite protein YFP) and identified a gene
that codes for a protein we’ll call “A.” YFP is only 90 amino acids
long. You wish to identify which part of YFP binds to A. You
construct three deletion alleles of YFP that are fused Gal4 binding
domain, one contains the N-terminal 30 amino acids of YFP (1-30),
one the middle 30 amino acids (31-60) and one...
