BISC220/S12: Yeast Secretory Paper

THE YEAST SECRETORY PATHWAY PAPER
Your report should follow the same basic format as the β-galactosidase paper, and include the following sections:  You may not need an Appendix. You should write the report with the following experimental question in mind: What is the role of the Sec18 and Sec61 proteins in the yeast secretory pathway? This means that you should use some of the findings from reference studies to support or refute the conclusions from your data. You should also clearly explain how the two reporter systems are used in the mutants to investigate defects in the secretory pathway. Some of this information may be appropriate for the Introduction and some for the Results or Discussion section. Think carefully about where a reader most needs detailed information to avoid repetition. In this report there are no “required” tables and figures. You should think carefully about how to display your data so that the most important findings are made clear to a reader who is unfamiliar with these proteins, with the yeast secretory pathway, and with your experimental design. Part of the Discussion should explore the significance of these two proteins in a larger context. Your BLAST analysis should provide sufficient information to address the overall importance of these proteins in other organisms.
