Questions and Answers

What is the role of the brain-specific enhancer in the expression of gene A?

  • Binding to the Mediator and stabilizing RNA polymerase II at the promoter
  • Activating Pax6 in the pancreas
  • Causing gene A to be transcribed in brain cells only (correct)
  • Directing Pax6 gene expression in the neural tube

Which transcription factors are required to activate Pax6 in the pancreas?

  • Meis transcription factors
  • Pbx1 and Meis transcription factors (correct)
  • Transcription factors binding to the limb enhancer
  • Brain-specific transcription factors

What happens if the limb enhancer cannot bind to the transcription factors of a cell type?

  • The gene is not transcribed in any cell type (correct)
  • The gene is transcribed in brain cells
  • The limb enhancer binds to the Mediator and stabilizes RNA polymerase II at the promoter
  • The gene is transcribed in limb cells only
