Cloning of new eukaryotic gene was followed by insertion and ligation of the gene in an expression vector. The protein translated from this gene was then studied on a western blot and probed with 32PDNA yielding a positive result. These findings eliminate which of the following substances as a candidate for the likely gene product?
A) CREB
B) Protein Kinase A
C) RNA polymerase
D) SP - 1
D) Steroid receptor

b.protein kinase smiling face

  #3

You are correct. Can you explain?

Yeah,pls explain

  #5

'probed with 32PDNA' --> should be an DNA binding protein. Protein kinase A stays in the cytoplasm and catalyze other enzymes.

  #6

thanx step12005, so i guess the probe only bings DNA binding proteins and protein kinase A is not one of them???

lol

rida ithink u r right. protein kinase could be a recombinent protein and idetify by 125I -antibody
