RNA processing is determined by phosphorylation patterns in the C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of the RNA polymerase II. Explain in a mechanistic manner how a deficiency in the enzyme CTDK-1 affects RNA processing.
There are many kinases in saccharomyces cerevisiae that phosphorylate the CTD of Rna polymerase II. CTD is essential and it has vital functions in initiation and elongation of transcription as well as in processing of MRna. The function of the CTD in these different processes appeares connected to phosphorylation of CTD, which changes through transcriptionery cycle. In saccharomyces cerevisiae, four enzymes are thre for CTD kinase activity. That os, Kin28- Ccl1, Srb10- Srb 11, CTDK-1, and Sgv1/Bur1 /Bur2. CTDK-1 is responsible for proper processing of a subset of yeast transcripts.

The sigma (?) subunit binds to the core RNA polymerase
enzyme. The function of this sigma factor is to recognize and bind
to the promoter of a gene so that transcription can be initiated.
The closeup shows the secondary structure of the sigma (?)
subunit, which consists of four domains. Identify the domains
labeled 1-3.

How would you test the hypothesis that the C-terminal domain of a newly identified growth factor receptor is auto-inhibitory for receptor auto-phosphorylation in the absence of ligand?
You want to make E. coli bacteria that glow green. Your plan is to insert the gene for green fluorescent protein (GFP) from a jellyfish (a eukaryote) into the genome of the bacteria so that the mRNA is transcribed by the E. coli cells and translated into protein. What changes do you need to make to the jellyfish GFP gene sequence to make sure that the bacteria will make a functional protein? Why? (1 point) A type of amatoxin binds...
(16 pts.) The gel shown below shows patterns observed for a STR (short tandem repeat) locus among four sets of parents (1-8) and four children (A-D). One child comes from each set of parents. 3. Why are there two bands for each parent? a. b. Although all the people shown here have two bands, it is possible (and not unusual) fora person to have only one band. Explain how this could happen. Consider earlier discussions on extensions to Mendelian genetics....
C4. Amino Acids and Proteins Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amine and carboxyl functional groups, along with a side chain specific to each amino acid. Clearly and concisely explain the process of dipeptide formation. [10 Marks) C5. Nucleic Acids Humans have two types of nucleic acids in their bodies: DNA and RNA. These molecules contain the set of instructions for our cells: they determine who and what we are. Compare and contrast DNA and RNA. [10 Marks] C6....
Two identical twins who showed very similar methylation patterns when they were 4 years old show very divergent patterns at age 40. This divergence is most likely due to a different alternative splicing in the two individuals Ob different levels of histone acetyltransferase in the two individuals. Oc environmental differences that they experienced as adults. O d. different genomic imprinting in the two individuals. O e differences in their experiences in utero Suppose that a certain enzyme is synthesized whenever...
Question 2: Transcription, RNA Processing and Translation A particular gene codes for a mature mRNA transcript containing 1200 bases, which is translated into a protein containing 300 amino acids. A. How long is the coding sequence in this mRNA and how many nucleotides are in the UTRs? For the purposes of this question we are ignoring the G’ cap and the polyA tail. B. A mutant form of the gene created by one nucleotide being changed to another nucleotide also...

Lab Activity for RNA Processing: p53 Isoforms Isoforms, simply defined, are different proteins created from the same genomic sequence. These differences can be created by a variety of mechanisms, including alternative splicing, the usage of different promoters, and the usage of different start codons. The p53 gene (usually called Tp53) is located on the short arm of chromosome 17 in the human genome. It has some unique gene topography, including one non-coding exon and very long intron...
