True or False? A hospital that performs transplant surgery may not acquire cadaver kidneys by excising them from cadavers located in its own hospital. They must accomplish this through arrangements with a freestanding organ procurement organization (OPO) that provides cadaver kidneys to any transplant hospital.

A common approach to identifying genetic sequences that play a role in the transcriptional regulation of a gene is the strategy sometimes called promoter bashing. This approach requires gene cloning methods. A cloning is obtained that had the coding region for a protein-encoding gene as well as the region that is upstream from the core promoter. This upstream region is likely to contain genetic regulatory elements such as enhancers and silencers. The below diagram depicts a cloned DNA region that contains the upstream region, the core promoter, and the coding sequence for a protein that is expressed in human liver cells. The upstream region may be several thousand base pairs in length. To determine if promoter bashing has an effect on transcription, it is helpful to have an easy way to measure the level of gene expression. One way to accomplish this is to swap the coding sequence of the gene of interest with the coding sequence of another gene. For example, the coding sequence of the lacZ gene, which encodes for β-galactosidase, is frequently swapped because it is easy to measure the activity of β-galactosidase using an assay for enzyme activity. The lacZ gene is called a "reporter gene" because its activity is easy to measure. As shown in the below diagram, the coding sequence of the lacZ gene has been swapped with the coding sequence of the liver-specific gene. In the new genetic construct, the expression and the transcriptional regulation of the lacZ gene are under the control of the core promoter and upstream region of the liver-specific gene. Now comes the "bashing" part of the experiment. Different segments of the upstream region are deleted, and then the DNA is transformed into living cells. In this case, researchers would probably transform the DNA into liver cells, because those are the cells where the gene is normally expressed. The last step is to measure the β-galactosidase activity in the transformed liver cells. In the diagram below, the upstream region and the core promoter have been divided up into five regions, labeled A - E. One of these regions was deleted (i.e. bashed out), and the rest of the DNA segment was transformed into liver cells. The data is shown here below from this experiment. BIO 308: Genetics: Rollins College Page 3 of 4 Brannock Spring 2024 Region Deleted | Percentage of β-galactosidase Activity* A | 0 B | 100 C | 330 D | 5 E | <1 * The amount of β-galactosidase activity in the cells carrying an undeleted upstream and promoter region was assigned a value of 100%. The amounts of activity in the cells carrying a deletion were expressed relative to this 100% value Explain what these results mean. Go into detail about upstream and core promoter regions. (8pts)
