- You have discovered a new mutant strain of E.colithat has a mutation in the trpL gene, so that there are no trp codons in the resulting mRNA transcribed from this gene. Explain how this might affect the attenuation / regulation of the trp gene expression.
Homework Answers
Answer :)
The trpL sequence is essential for terminating and anti-terminating the trp operon if the tryptophan concentration is slightly efficient and that can be adequate by the trpL coded tryptophan. The attenuator sequence work only when the trpL sequence is transcribed. Therefore, if trpL sequence is not working, then the attenuator sequence will also not work. In the absence of tryptophan, the trp operon will work.

You are studying a mutant strain of bacteria in which the trp operon includes a mutation in region 1 of the 5'UTR. Whereas in the wildtype strain the affected codons code for "trp, in the mutant strain these codons code for "stop". How will this mutation affect attenuation? Translation of the S'UTR will stop at the position of the mutation in region 1. As a result, region 3 of the 5'UTR will pair with region 2 in the mRNA causing...

5.) You have discovered mutants in two new gene mutants in Drosophila. One mutant, curl, has small, curly, nonfunctional wings. The other mutant, big, has enormous eyes. You decide to test if these two new genes are on chromosome #2, so you perform a three-gene linkage testcross using a gene that you know is on chromosome #2, trp, a mutant that cannot make its own tryptophan (and so must get it from its food). In all three cases, these mutant...

consider a strain of E. coli that has a mutation in the gene encoding the IIA protein of the phosphotransferase system. The transport and phosphorylation of glucose is not affected by this mutation and the phosphate group is transferred to glucose as in the wildtype strain. Also, the interaction between the mutant IIA protein and Lacy is not affected by the mutation. However, the mutation does affect the IIA protein's interactions with adenylate cyclase and the phosphorylated form of the...

Researchers have identified a gene in humans that (when mutant) causes severe dwarfism and mental retardation. This disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, and the mutant allele is known to be a loss-of-function mutation. The same gene has been found on mice, although a mutant version of the gene has not been discovered in mice. To develop drugs and an effective therapy to treat this disorder, it would be extremely useful to have a mouse model of the...
