What is the role of the protein
encoded by the lacZ gene?
Homework Answers
|
Ans: The lacZ gene encodes an enzyme that converts lactose to allolactose, and the lacZ gene encodes an enzyme that converts lactose to glucose and galactose. |

3. (2 points) In the nematode roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans, the LIN-14 protein controls the timing of certain cell divisions during development. LIN-14 protein levels are normally high in early development but decrease in the later stages. In a lin-4 mutant, the level of LIN-14 protein stays high throughout development, changing the pattern of cell divisions in the animal and producing defects in the shape of the animal. The lin-4 gene encodes a microRNA that binds to a sequence in the...

Background: Several genetic regions are needed for lactose
metabolism: P(promoter), O(operator), lacZ(b-galactosidase gene),
lacY(permease gene), lacA(transacetylase gene) and lacI(repressor
gene). Strains can be defined as having + - c or s copies: + refers
to the functional version, - refers to a defect version, c refers
to a constitutively active version and s refers to a superrepressor
version. Each strain may or may not have an extra-chromosomal
plasmid containing the genes indicated. TA=transacetylase

For the gene BRCA2, identify the normal function of the protein encoded by the gene and how the mutations of the gene causes Breast cancer via the role of the defective protein in the gene. Diagrams are appreciated to demonstrate the following concepts; 1) Signal Transduction - Is it paracrine signalling? I actually don't understand how the kinases work. 2) Cell Division- It is the S phase right but like I don't know how to phrase it 3) Genetics -...

Q15 8 Points In C. elegans, a protein encoded by the gene odr-4 is required to transport the protein ODR-10 to the cell membrane of the worms' sensory neurons. As described in HW7, ODR-10 detects the molecule diacetyl, which is secreted by the worms' bacterial food source. What would happen to the animals' ability to detect diacetyl if there was a mutation in the odr-4 gene that inactivated it? (One sentence) Why (one sentence)? Enter your...

Lactose (or rather, its derivative allolactose) can lift the Lac Repressor protein from the Operator site in DNA, thus allowing for expression of the genes coded by the Lac Operon. However, lactose cannot cross the bacterial cell membrane without the help of the Permease protein channel, which is coded by the lacY gene in the Lac Operon. So, it appears that we have a case of "what's first, the chicken or the egg?" - how can lactose enter the cell...

An enzyme, encoded by gene A, converts substrate X into product Y. Individuals with a dominant mutation in gene A over accumulate substrate X, which causes severe neurological symptoms. At the molecular level, this enzyme functions as a homodimer. A homodimer is a protein composed of two subunits that are encoded by the same gene. Let’s suppose you are able to purify subunits from cell samples and then mix them together under conditions in which they form homodimers, and you...
