- Yes, genes X and Y were transcribed similarly. They both have a spike in transcriptions and then quickly fall nearing 0 by the end of hour 9.
- According to OD 3.7 in Figure 4.12, TEF4 is depicted as repressed. This is possibly because TEF4 needs glucose to be able to transcribe, so as glucose supplies are reduced, the TEF4 gene's ability to transcribe reduce as well. It is shown in figure 4.10 that as glucose levels drop, cell density increases.
- The gene can use the "guilt by association" mechanism to ensure genes for enzymes in a common pathway are induced or repressed simultaneously.
- Assuming that cells that over express the transcription factor of Yap1p were subjected to the same experiment of a timecourse of glucose depletion, the spots that represented Yap1p target genes would show up as green the later the time points of this experiment. This is because Yap1p confers environmental stress. I am assuming that glucose depletion is an environmental stress factor.
