You are studying regulation of the yeast enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS), which is encoded by the GLN1 gene. You have isolated two mutants, designated gln2– and gln3–, that give decreased GS activity. Mating of either gln2– or gln3– haploids to wild type produces heterozygous diploids that show normal amounts of GS expression. When you cross either a gln2– or gln3– haploid to a gln1– strain the resulting diploids show normal expression of GS. 

Next, you decide to evaluate the promoter for the GLN1 gene. To do this you first fuse the promoter region to the LacZ coding sequence and then place this hybrid gene on an appropriate yeast plasmid. You find that cells carrying the hybrid gene express activity under the same conditions that GS is expressed in wild type cells, meaning that the promoter region you have selected contains all of the necessary cis-acting sequences for normal regulation. The figure below shows the effect of different 50 bp deletions in the promoter region on the amount of ß-galactosidase activity expressed by the reporter gene. how would you expect a gln2– gln3– double mutant to behave?

To express a yeast gene in E. coli, your task is to design a strategy to insert the yeast gene into the bacterial plasmid. Below is a map of the area of the yeast genome surrounding the gene in which you are interested.

 

The distance between each tick mark placed on the line above is 100 bases in length

Below are the enzymes you can use, with their specific cut sites shown 5’-XXXXXX-3’ 3’-XXXXXX-5’

 

The plasmid is 5,000 bases long and the two farthest restriction enzyme sites are 200 bases apart. The plasmid has an ampicillin resistance gene somewhere on the plasmid distal from the restriction cut sites.

                              

Which of the following restriction enzyme is the best choice for you use to design a way to get the insert into the vector?
