21. The steroid hormone glucocorticoid can enter cells and bind with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to regulate gene expression. Which is incotrect? (A) GR is in the cytoplasm in the absence of glucocorticoid. (B) GR is a leucine-zipper-containing transcription factor. (C) Glucocorticoid-bound GR can form a homodimer to bind to GREs. (D) GR serves as a transcription activator or inhibitor depending on the gene context. (E) GR inhibits the expression of cytokine genes by tethering other transcription factors such as AP1 and NF-kB.

22. A diverse set of proteins with conserved RNA-binding domains associate with pre-mRNAs to assist RNA processing. Which is incorrect? (A) RRM (or RBD), KH motif and RGG box are conserved RNA-binding motifs. (B) Pre-mRNAs are associated with hnRNP proteins, contributing to splicing, polyadenylation and expott. (C) To identify hnRNP proteins, first high-dose UV irradiation causes covalent cross-links to form between RNA bases and associated protein, and are recovered by oligo-dT chromatography. (D) The specific monoclonal antibodies of idcntified hnRNP proteins are used to immunoprecipitate the hnRNP proteins complex. (E) All hnRNP proteins shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm for RNA processing.
