What will result from the binding of a transcription factor to an enhancer region?
a. decreased transcription of an adjacent gene
b. increased transcription of a distant gene
c. alteration of the translation of an adjacent gene
d. initiation of the recruitment of RNA polymerase
In E. coli, the trp operon is on by default, while the lac operon is off. Why do you think that this is the case?
A scientist discovers a virus encoding a Protein X that degrades a subunit of the eIF4F complex. Knowing that this virus transcribes its own mRNAs in the cytoplasm of human cells, why would Protein X be an effective virulence factor?
In females, one of the two X chromosomes is inactivated during embryonic development because of epigenetic changes to the chromatin. What impact do you think these changes would have on nucleosome packing?
In cancer cells, alteration to epigenetic modifications turns off genes that are normally expressed. Hypothetically, how could you reverse this process to turn these genes back on?
