You are interested in studying the transcriptional regulation of the Gip1 promoter.The Gip1 promoter contains a binding site for the Jk8 protein that overlaps with the binding site for the Pa5 protein.Jk8 and Pa5 cannot bind DNA at the same time, but both proteins are present at high levels in adult liver cells.The binding sites for Jk8 and Pa5 are shown in Figure 8-24.
Figure 8-24
Jk8 binds to site A while Pa5 binds to site B.You create mutations that remove the nonoverlapping sequences of either binding site A or B, and examine Gip1 mRNA production in adult liver cells that contain these mutations.The data you obtain from these experiments are shown in Table 8-24.

Which transcription regulatory protein is bound in experiment #1 (the normal situation)? Explain.
Antibodies
Proteins produced by the immune system that recognize, bind to, and help neutralize foreign substances like bacteria and viruses.
Allergic Reaction
A hypersensitive response of the immune system to substances that are usually harmless to most people, such as pollen, food, or dust.
Antibody Class
Categories of antibodies distinguished by variations in their heavy chain constant regions, affecting their functional location and immune response actions.
IgE
Immunoglobulin E, a class of antibodies that play a crucial role in allergic reactions by recognizing allergens and triggering immune responses.
