Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The reason behind the binding of HOTAIR to the target gene and also finding the reason due to which HOTAIR does not bind next to every gene.

Introduction:

HOTAIR is transcript antisense RNA; it is a gene present in chromosome 12 in humans and other mammals. HOTAIR is an example of an RNA expressed on one chromosome but influences the transcription of another chromosome.

A mutant strain of Salmonella bacteria carries a mutation of the rho protein that has fully activity at 37°C but is completely inactivated when the mutant strain is grown at 40°C. a)Speculate about the kind of differences you would expect to see if you compared a broad spectrum of mRNAs from the mutant strain grown at 37°C and the same spectrum of mRNAs from the strain when grown at 40°C. b)Are all the mRNAs affected by the rho protein mutation in the same way? Why or why not?
Answer these questions concerning promoters. a) What role do promoters play in transcription? b) What is the common structure of bacterial promoter with respect to consensus sequences? c) Eukaryotic promoters are more variable than bacterial promoters.  Why? d) What is the meaning of the term alternative promoter? How does the use of alternative promoters affect transcription?
What is a response element? O A) A short stretch of DNA sequence implicated in the initiation of translation O B) A short stretch of DNA sequence essential for RNA splicing O C) A short stretch of DNA sequence found within the basal and regulatory promoter regions of genes D) A special protein implicated in the initiation of transcription
