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.
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.
Which of the models from best fits these experimental results? Complete the model for the regulation of GLN1 that includes the effects of glu and gln.      

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. Parallel model best fits the experimental results, addition of glutamate (glu) and glutamine (gln) dependently regulate the GS activity
  2. Parallel model best fits the experimental results, addition of glutamate (glu) and glutamine (gln) independently regulate the GS activity
  3. linear model best fits the experimental results, addition of glutamate (glu) and glutamine (gln) dependently regulate the GS activity
  4. linear model best fits the experimental results, addition of glutamate (glu) and glutamine (gln) independently regulate the GS activity

Following figure regarding to regulatory network in the Arabidopsis shoot meristem stem-cell niche.

A. The transcription factor WUS is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the CLV3.

B. The transcription factor CLV3 is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the WUS.

C. Secreted CLV3 protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses WUS transcription.

D. Secreted WUS protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses CLV3 transcription.
