Following statements are regarding to the spindle position checkpoint pathway in budding yeast.

A. During interphase and early mitosis, Cdc14 is sequestered and inactivated in the nucleolus. Inactive Tem1-GDP associates with the spindle pole body (SPB) nearest to the bud as soon as the mitotic spindle forms.

B. If chromosome segregation occurs properly, extension of the spindle microtubules inserts the daughter SPB into the bud, causing Tem1 to be activated by an unknown mechanism.

C. Tem1-GDP activates a protein kinase cascade, which then promotes the release of active Cdc14 from the nucleolus and exit from mitosis.

D. If the spindle apparatus fails to place the daughter SPB in the bud, Kin4 (cyan), an inhibitor of Tem1, is recruited from the parent cell cortex to the parent-cell-located SPB and maintains Tem1 in the GTP-bound form, and mitotic exit does not occur.

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.              
From these experiments,  Classify  the  gln2– and gln3– mutations in terms of their basic genetic properties explaining the rationale behind your conclusions. Based on these properties make a proposal for the types of regulatory functions affected by the gln2– and gln3– mutations.

2 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, that could explain the effect of the gln2– and gln3– mutations on the regulation of GLN1.
The GLN1 gene shows a rather complex regulation in response to different amino acids. When either glutamate (glu) or glutamine (gln) is added to the medium, the amount of GS expression diminished and when both glutamate and glutamine are added to the medium GS expression is shut off completely. The effects of different mutants on the response to glu and gln are shown below.
