Your goal is clone your favorite gene NRG1 using restriction digestion with type II restriction enzymes, followed by ligation in a pET plasmid, and transformation in E. coli competent cells.  The objective is to clone NRG1 between the NcoI and XhoI of the pET22b. This will allow NRG1 protein to be in frame with the pelB leader peptide and be transported to the E. coli periplasm (secretion pathways are cool), where NRG1 can fold properly. NRG1 can be amplified by PCR from cDNA of neuronal cells. How will you make sure that NRG1 will be ligated to the NcoI and XhoI sites of pET22b? (Alternatively, you can outline the steps necessary to clone a gene). 

Refer to the table below to answer the following questions.  You obtained some RNA sequencing data. Below is the 5′- sequence of a disease-associated transcript frame that should produce a protein.  GAGAUCCUAUGGAGGACACAGUAUGUGAGAGUAGCCA.  What is the partial amino acid sequence of the protein? 

Still keeping with your cloning of NRG1. Something terrible happening. You find that NRG1 contains an NcoI cut site right in the middle of the gene. What other methods could you use to clone NRG1 between NcoI and XhoI? Explain your procedure.

Montana Mike took out a loan for $225,000 on April 1, 2020 and applied it toward the purchase of a used articulated truck that he purchased for $315,000 to use in mining operations. The interest rate on the loan was 6.8% per year. The loan was amortized such that it would be repaid in five equal payments that are due on April 1 of each year beginning in 2021 with annual payments of $54,582. When Mike acquired the asset, he expected to use the truck for six years and that he would be able to sell it for $120,000 at the end of the six years. He chose to use the double declining balance method of depreciation, prorating the first year of depreciation according to the half-year convention. Develop and present a depreciation schedule for the life of the asset. Indicate what numeric values (if any) associated with this depreciation schedule will appear on the 2021 cash basis income statement and the January 1, 2021 cost basis balance sheet, indicating where these values would appear on each and how they would be labeled.
