E27. A cloned gene fragment contains a regulatory element that is recog- nized by a regulatory transcription factor. Previous experiments have shown that the presence of a hormone results in transcriptional acti- vation by this transcription factor. To study this effect, you conduct a electrophoretic mobility shift assay and obtain the following results: Tube: 1 2 3 Transcription factor: Hormone: Explain the action of the hormone.

In which of the following ways would the histone deacetylase gene be similar to the Xist gene? A. They would both be transcribed. B. They would both be translated. C. They would both undergo intron splicing. D. They would both be transported to the cytoplasm after transcription.

Explain how two cells, such as liver cells and skin cells, can become specialized in structure and function despite containing the same genome.
a. How do bacteria increase the efficiency of gene expression? Is this possible in eukaryotes? b. A mutation in the promoter of Gene K disrupts an enzyme binding site and results in the loss of Gene K expression. Is this change in gene expression likely happening at the transcriptional or the translational level? Explain. c. Propose three different mutations to prevent initiation, elongation, and termination of bacterial transcription, respectively. Explain how/why each mutation would prevent its respective step. (Hint: mutations can be in genes that encode proteins or regulatory DNA sequences)
Through alternative splicing, eukaryotes (a) reinforce gene inactivation (b) prevent transcription of heterochromatin (c) produce related but different proteins in different tissues (d) amplify genes to meet the requirement of high levels of a gene product (e) bind transcription factors to enhancers to activate transcription

1. Draw a simplified model of a cis-regulatory element with multiple trans-acting factors up-regulating gene expression. Your simplified model must include: a double-stranded DNA molecule labeled with its appropriate orientation (3' and 5', etc.), an area of DNA highlighting the gene of interest to be transcribed, a highlighted area showing the promoter region, one cis-regulatory element upstream of the promoter with its specific transcription factor • RNApol + a general transcription factor + a TATA binding protein all bound to the appropriate area (think about where these bind before transcription starts), an upstream enhancer with its transcription factor bound to it, • and finally the TSS. All parts must be labeled and in the correct area to earn full credit. **I suggest using different colors for this drawing problem**.
Q. The nuclear membrane disintegrates late in prophase of mitosis in most eukaryotic cells. Once the membrane is reformed in telophase in a daughter cell, several components of gene expression might therefore be “caught” out in the cytoplasm when they would otherwise only ever be found inside the nucleus. Consider where the following components of gene expression are made and where they function. Which component is normally never found in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus? spliced intron RNA polymerase snRNA DNA polymerase A. 1, 2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1, 2, 3 & 4 are correct

I. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) is a transcription factor that is similar to steroid hormone receptors. Thesubstance (ligand) that binds to this receptor is retinoicacid. One of the genes whose transcription is activatedby retinoic acid binding to the receptor is myoD. Thediagram that follows shows a schematic view of theRAR proteins produced by genes into which one oftwo different 12-base double-stranded oligonucleotides had been inserted in the ORF. The insertion site(a–m) associated with each mutant protein is indicatedwith the appropriate letter on the polypeptide map.For constructs encoding proteins a–e, oligonucleotide 1(5′ TTAATTAATTAA 3′ read off either strand) wasinserted into the RAR gene. For constructs encoding proteins f–m, oligonucleotide 2 (5′ CCGGCCGGCCGG 3′)was inserted into the gene.NH2 f g h i j k l m COOHa b c d eThe wild-type RAR protein can both bind DNA and activate transcription weakly in the absence of retinoic acid(RA) and strongly in RA’s presence.
