Homework Answers
Ans) Strain B is wild-type because as stated in the question, the wild type protein is secretory and from the figure, it is shown the GFP protein is secreted out of the cell.
Strain A is defective in packaging of GFP protein in COPII vesicles for transport from ER to golgi complex. Hence, the GFP is accumulated in ER.
Strain C is defective in packaging of GFP into vesicle for release outside the cell. Hence, protein has accumulated in golgi complex.
Strain D is defective in transport of GFP from cis-golgi to trans-golgi and protein is seen accumulated in cis-golgi.

A. You want to make a translational fusion of protein Z and the yellow fluorescent protein YFP (Z-YFP) so that expression of the fusion occurs with the same cell-specific pattern as that of protein Z. The protein Z gene has a 2 kb promoter, two 1 kb exons, and one 5 kb intron. The YFP gene is 0.7 kb. Outline with words and sketches your strategy to make the Z-YFP fusion clone using PCR. You already have cells that contain...

16. You have cloned a centromere from yeast. You have also
identified three genes, X, Y and Z that code for proteins that are
a subset of the kinetochore proteins that are bound to the
centromere. None of your three genes is essential but each does
contribute to the overall efficiency of chromosomal segregation.
You raise antibodies to each of your three proteins. You also

You have constructed a new reporter gene to help you find novel zebrafish mutations. The reporter gene consists of several LEG/TCF binding domains in the enhancer fused to the coding region for green fluorescent protein (GFP). Wild-type embryos that contain this transgene normally express it in the brain and eye primordia and have no developmental defects. You then mutagenize this reporter strain to look for new mutants that affect GFP expression. Which developmental pathway are these mutants likely to be...

please answer all that you can 1. You have genetically engineered green fluorescent protein (GFP) containing a KDEL sequence (GFP-KDEL). When GFP-KDEL is expressed in normal human fibroblasts and examined using fluorescence microscopy, the fluorescence appears diffuse across the cytoplasm. How would you explain this observations given that KDEL is supposed to be an ER-specific sorting sequence? A. This engineered GFP would not have a hydrophobic signal sequence to get it into the RER in the first place. B. The...

You are studying the live biosynthetic pathway in bread mold that produces a protein necessary for life. Your research group has identified three genes believed to function in the live pathway and has created mutant lines for each: die-21, die-18, and die-1. You have been growing the mutant strains and a wild-type strain on deficient media that does not contain all four of the compounds involved in the live pathway: A, B, C, and D. To determine the order of...
