2. Q2:Given the following scenario: Three Eukaryotic proteins where Estrogen binds to Protein A, thus causing Protein A to bind to Protein X, thus causing Protein X to bind to Protein B.
Protein B is a DNA binding protein and typically found in the nucleus. Protein A and X can be found in the cytosol and nucleus.
The DNA element Z has been identified as the binding site for Protein B.
Describe (and draw) an in vivo assay that would confirm this scenario (4pts)
E.C. (1pt) Why might you want to add Estrogen in your assay?_________________________________________________________________________ A X B
