CSIR NET JRF 2nd paper question for practice

.





Consider two proteins- a transcription factor (nuclear protein) and a hormone receptor (membrane-spanning protein).
Protein 1: transcription factor NH3--------------------------------COO-
Protein 2: Hormone Receptor NH3-------------------------------- COO-

a) What is the difference between protein localization sequences in proteins 1 and 2 such that they are targeted to different cell compartments?

b) Indicate where you would expect to find proteins 1 and 2 in a cell that has a mutated signal recognition particle (SRP). Explain why proteins would be found in these locations.

c) Indicate the correct sequence of events that will lead to the proper localization of proteins 1 and 2.

1.Protein synthesis is blocked by SRP
2.After removal of signal sequence, growing polypeptide enters ER
3.Glycosylation occurs
4.Protein is anchored in plasma membrane
5.Translation of polypeptide chain starts in the cytoplasm on the ribosome
6.Protein synthesis resumes
7.Protein is transported to Golgi in a vesicle
8.SRP attaches to a specific receptor on the ER
9.Growing polypeptide becomes embedded in ER membrane.
10.Vesicle harboring protein buds off Golgi
11.Protein enters nucleus
12.Signal sequence is removed
13.SRP binds signal sequence
14.Vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane
15.Signal sequence binds to receptor on nucleus opening channel

PROTEIN 1: Write correct sequence of event here for Nuclear protein here (for example 1,5,15.......)

PROTEIN 2:Write correct sequence of event here for Hormon receptor protein here (for example 1,5,15.......)

ICMR JRF study material - 2010 ICMR Question papers


ICMR JRF is a relatively tough compare to other life science competitive exam like CSIR/GATE But those exams has model question paper, old question paper. Problem with ICMR JRF exam is there no previous year question paper. Here for the benefit of fellow Aspirants and all future ICMR JRF Aspirants we collected ICMR questions from various sources, students,institution,piled into a single pdf

Presented ICMR question is completely based on memory from ICMR JRF exam held on July 2010.

1.Name two applied molecular genetic techniques that depend on the formation of RNA-DNA hybrids.

2. Why does adding NaCl to a DNA solution increase the Tm of a DNA duplex? How does increasing the NaCl concentration affect the "specificity" of a hybridization reaction?

3. How could you take advantage of the Cot phenomenon to functionally "inactivate" highly repetitive DNA sequences from a DNA probe that contains both unique and repeated sequences?

4. Is it possible to ligate a DNA fragment cleaved with BamHI to a heterologous fragment that had been cleaved with the restriction enzyme BglII?. Can the ligated DNA fragments be cleaved again with both BamHI and BglII? Explain.

5. Why is formaldehyde used to denature RNA in a Northern blot, isn't RNA single stranded to begin with? Why can't NaOH be used to denature RNA in the Northern blotting procedure as it is in the Southern Blotting procedure?

Above is shown a picture of a replication bubble.Answer the Question below

(a) The primer 5’-GAA-3’ is being used to replicate this piece of DNA. Would that primer anneal to the upper strand of DNA in the picture or the lower strand?
(b) Write what the product of DNA replication would be if the first five nucleotides had been added onto this primer by DNA polymerase. Label the 5’ and 3’ ends. Make sure to include the primer.
(c) Would that strand that you have drawn in part (b) be a leading strand or a lagging
strand?
