What will be the sizes of the 2 restriction fragments if the approximately 317 bp RT-PCR product (insert from WT satC dimer) was ligated successfully into the SmaI site? What will be the sizes of the 2 restriction fragments if TWO approximately 317 bp RT-PCR products (2 ligated inserts from WT satC dimer) were ligated into the SmaI site?arrow_forwardYou have isolated a cDNA clone encoding a protein of interest in a higher eukaryote. This cDNA clone is not cleaved by restriction endonuclease EcoRI. When this cDNA is used as a radioactive probe for blot hybridization analysis of EcoRI-digested genomic DNA, three radioactive bands are seen on the resulting Southern blot. Does this result indicate that the genome of the eukaryote in question contains three copies of the gene encoding the protein of interest? Explain.arrow_forward

- Recombination signal sequences are conserved heptamer and nonamer sequences that flank the V, J, and D gene segments which undergo recombination to generate the final V region coding exon. Some of these have 12-nucleotide spacers between the heptamer and nonamer, and others have 23-nucleotide spacers. The reason recombination signal sequences come in these two forms is: To ensure the correct assembly of gene segments so that a VH recombines to a DH and not to another VH, for instance To ensure that the heptamer and nonamer are found on the same face of the DNA double helix To ensure that alpha, lambda, and heavy chains recombine within a locus and not between loci To ensure that alpha, lambda, and heavy chain gene segments do not undergo recombination with non-immunoglobulin genes To ensure that the RAG recombinase cuts the DNA between the last nucleotide of the heptamer and the coding sequencearrow_forwardIn this western blot, the levels of phosphorylated TBK (PTBK) decrease with increasing amounts/expression of the viral protein (VP).
