A synthetic mRNA added to a cell-free protein-synthesizing system produces a peptide with the following amino acid sequence: Met-ProIle-Ser-Ala. What would be the effect on translation if the following component were omitted from the cell-free protein-synthesizing system? What, if any, type of protein would be produced? Explain your reasoning. Q. Initiation factor 3

Briefly discuss (referring to the images provided) why mutant 2 fails to produce functional protein. Note that none of the mRNA transcribed from this gene is of the expected size; some of the mRNA molecules produced are 223 nucleotides shorter than expected, whilst others are 47 nucleotides longer than expected.

Introns are often very large and the cell has devoted mechanisms of eliminating them once they are excised from the pre-mRNA. Following intron excision, what specific ribonucleolytic enzymes or complexes contribute to eliminating the intron RNA immediately after it is excised from the pre-mRNA? Briefly describe the role of each step/enzyme and how it affects its RNA substrate

Explain your reasoning. Q. Elongation factor Tu

Explain what is meant by the coupling of transcription and translation in bacteria. Does coupling occur in bacterial and/or eukaryotic cells? Explain.

A membrane-associated protein kinase has the sequence -GMCLVS at its C-terminus, which has been shown by mutagenesis to be essential for its biological function and sub cellular location.a) What is the most likely post-translational modification that this motif would be susceptible to?b) How is this modification introduced to the protein?c) What is the likely effect of this modification on the behaviour of the protein?d) What other modification to N-terminus of the protein might achieve a similar effect on the behaviour of the protein?
