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?

With respect to microRNAs, which, if any, of the following statements, is false?

a) A microRNA normally works by binding to perfectly complementary sequences within an RNA transcript, usually an mRNA.

b) Like the great majority of mRNAs an miRNA is usually produced as a larger precursor RNA that is capped and has a 3’ poly(A) tail.

c) The precursor miRNA undergoes different types of post-transcriptional cleavage by endoribonucleases that are specific for double-stranded target sequences.

d) A nuclear endoribonuclease called dicer cleaves the miRNA precursor so that it forms a stem-loop RNA.
