cientists used a Rat6-Raf transformed cell line for the anchorage-independent growth control experiment. This cell line is transformed with an activated form of Raf. The CP788 drug had no effect on anchorage-dependent growth iwith this cell-line. Explain why this cell line was used as a control in this experiment and why no inhibition of cell growth was observed with CP788

After a cell "clears" the G₁ restriction checkpoint, it can proceed into S phase. This S phase entry is achieved by a cyclin dependent kinase (Cdk2) and its cyclin (Cyclin E), but additionally requires the action of a protein kinase (CDC2) as well as a phosphatase (CDC25) enzyme. Explain how these 4 proteins work together to orchestrate S phase entry.
Before JCVI-syn3.0 was produced, what steps were used to create a synthetic Mycoplasma cell? Put the events below into the correct order. Drag and drop the events into the proper sequence from left to right. ▸ View Available Hint(s) First Step Transformed cells are detected by the presence of lacz, which causes them to cleave Xgal and produce a blue color. Yeast is transformed using Mycoplasma mycoides fragments. The synthetic chromosome is transformed into Mycoplasma capricolum. The synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides chromosome is purified. DNA fragments assemble through homologous recombination in yeast. Reset Help Last Step
The output of RTK pathways is often the activation of MAP Kinase. Explain how MAPK can lead to activation of a specific subset of proteins, leading to distinct effects in different cell types in response to the same growth signal.
Cellular reprogramming and induced pluripotent stem cells have allowed scientists to model various diseases and screen drugs in these in vitro models. Please select a disease that can be modeled through the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. 1) a drug that has been screened in this disease model. Explain in detail the main findings.
Gal4–VP16 requires SAGA for activation. Strains containing the Gal4+, Gal4–VP16, or Gal4–VP16–F442A activators were tested for their ability to grow on glucose and galactose as carbon sources and for their dependence on Spt20 for activation. Strains were tested for growth on SC-Leu plates containing glucose or galactose by replica plating and are shown after 4 d of growth at 30°C. The SPT20 allele and the activator present in each strain is shown in the figure. a) Describe the strain Spt20+Gal4Δ (Fig. 5B above). Is this strain able to activate the Gal genes? Why or why not? b) What is VP16-FA? please answer this fully, this is my second time posting the first time it was answered incorrectly THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION
The exchange of materials between RPE cells and the rods and cone cells is very important. Suggest by which membrane transport methods ions, proteins and damaged fragments of rod cells would be taken into the RPE cells. Outline the properties of stem cells which will help to repair the RPE layer of a patients retina after implantation of the thin sheet of cells. Outline how the presence of a base substitution mutation in the ABCA4 gene would result in the synthesis of a protein which cannot carry out its normal function.

Consider the gal10D56 reporter gene. In 300 words or fewer, describe 1) the role of GAL7 in galactose metabolism and its importance for cell function 2) the mutation present in the gal10D56 reporter gene 3) the consequence of this mutation for GAL7 expression in wild type cells, 4) the mechanism by which certain mutations can suppress the effects of gal10D56, and 5) the specific purpose for using this reporter gene.
According to the research article: “Telomerase Modulates Wnt Signalling by Association with Target Gene Chromatin,” how did the authors determine that TERT, Brg1, and beta catenin were all part of the same protein complex on TCF sites in vivo? Describe the assay used to determine this.
Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS)cells was first accomplished using retroviral vectors tocarry the OSKM (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and Myc) set of tran-scription regulators into cells. The efficiency of fibroblastreprogramming was typically low (0.01%), in part becauselarge numbers of retroviruses must integrate to bringabout reprogramming and each integration event carrieswith it the risk of inappropriately disrupting or activatinga critical gene. In what other ways, or other forms, do yousuppose you might deliver the OSKM transcription regula-tors so as to avoid these problems?
Quorum sensing controls the expression of virulencein many pathogenic bacteria. Usually, pathogens express toxins in response to receptor activation by ligand binding at high cell density. V. cholerae (thecausative agent of cholera) does the opposite; its virulence genes are expressed only at low cell densitybecause its quorum-sensing receptor is repressed byligand binding. The unusual “reversed” mechanismfor activating virulence genes in V. cholerae has suggested to scientists a simple idea for generating a newkind of antibiotic for the treatment of cholera.Explain
