During Lab 4 you compared the amount of GFP under the control of four different promoters, named Ara𝛃1, Ara𝛃2, Ara𝛃3 and Ara𝛃4. The following diagram (Figure 1) shows a sequence alignment between Ara𝛃2 and the wildtype promoter construct.

Figure 1:
Alignment between Ara𝛃2 and wildtype promoter constructs. The red boxes identify key sequences necessary for transcription (ie: AraC binding sites and the promoter sequence). Where the wildtype and Ara𝛃2 sequence is identical, a nucleotide base is shown in the consensus sequence. Where there is a difference between the wildtype and the Ara𝛃2 sequence a “+” sign is shown in the consensus sequence.

The table below shows the relative fluorescence of the two strains obtained from Lab 4, the number of plus signs “+” gives an indication of the amount of fluorescence (ie: “+++” showed more fluorescence than “++”. A minus sign “-” indicates no fluorescence was observed).

Induced (supplemented with arabinose)Uninduced (not supplemented with arabinose)
Wildtype+++-
Ara𝛃2 (mutant)++-

Based on the provided alignment of the reporter construct, describe how the phenotype displayed in the above table might be explained through a mutation(s).

In your response, ensure that you discuss:

a) The phenotype observed in the mutant compared to the wildtype in the induced and uninduced conditions (1 mark for each strain).

b) Details of any mutations in either AraC binding sites and/or promoter regions (1 mark for each mutation).

c) How the predicted effect of these above mutations would result in a change in the transcription of the reporter gene (GFP) (1 mark for each mutation).

Combined across parts a, b, and c, your answer should be no longer than 300 words (ie: less than 100 words per part).
