Which construct would be MOST useful in studying translational control?
A) gene fusion
B) operon fusion
C) protein fusion
D) shuttle vector

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein fusion involves fusing a reporter protein to the protein of interest, allowing the detection of the protein in vivo. This would be useful in studying translational control as it would allow for monitoring of the translation of the protein of interest. Gene fusion and operon fusion involve fusing genes or operons to a reporter gene, which would primarily be useful in studying transcriptional control. A shuttle vector is a plasmid that can replicate in multiple host organisms, which is not directly relevant to studying translational control.
