Indicate the various levels of specificity possessed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases that are essential for high-fidelity translation of messenger RNA molecules.
Discuss Concepts A mutation occurs that alters an anticodon in a tRNA from 3-AAU-5 to 3-AUU-5. What effect will this mutation have on protein synthesis?
A normal mRNA that reads 5’ - UGCCAUGGUAAUAACACAUGAGGCCUGAAC- 3’ has an insertion mutation that changes the sequence to 5' -UGCCAUGGUUAAUAACACAUGAGGCCUGAAC- 3’. Translate the original mRNA and the mutated mRNA, and explain how insertion mutations can have dramatic effects on proteins. (Hint: Be sure to find the initiation site.)
Explain how lysyl-tRNA synthetase protein in bacterial cells typically undergoes folding with necessary structures and steps, any ATP hydrolysis, cap structure, etc.
At least one nonsense suppressing tRNA is knownthat can suppress more than one type of nonsensecodon.a. What is the anticodon of such a suppressing tRNA?b. What stop codons would it suppress?c. Could this tRNA possibly also function as a missense suppressor?d. What are the amino acids most likely to be carriedby this suppressing tRNA?
1. Although aminoacyl-tRNA synhtetases make few errors, occasionally an error. How can these error be detected and corrected? 2. Describe how the base pairing between the Shine-Delgarno sequence and the 30S subunit provides a mechanism for distinguishing a start codon form a methionine codon. What is the eukaryotic version of this mechanism?
2c) Give 3 different tRNA anticodon sequences that could be mutated by a single base substitution into that suppressor tRNA anticodon (the one that would match and suppress the 5'UAA3' stop codon) and name the amino acid that would be carried by each tRNA whose anticodon you have listed
In bacteria, researchers have isolated strains that carry mutations within tRNA genes. These mutations can change the sequence of the anticodon. For example, a normal tRNATrp gene encodes a tRNA with the anticodon 3′–ACC–5′. A mutation can change this sequence to 3′–CCC–5′. When this mutation occurs, the tRNA still carries a tryptophan at its 3′ acceptor stem, even though the anticodon sequence has been altered. A. How would this mutation affect the synthesis of polypeptides within the bacterium? B. What does this mutation tell you about the recognition between tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase and tRNATrp? Does the enzyme primarily recognize the anticodon or not?
The ribosome can transfer any peptidyl group from the P-site tRNA to any aminoacyl group on the A-site RNA, but the rate may vary with the identities of those groups. Propose an explanation why the ribosome synthesizes poly-Pro sequences extremely slowly compared to other peptide sequences.
Suppose that a gene underwent a mutation that changed a GAA codon to UAA. (a) Name the amino acid encoded by the original triplet. (b) Identify a tRNA anticodon that could translate the nonsense UAA triplet. (c) What other amino acid could be encoded by the mutant tRNA?
1. Certain proteins that stimulate expression of a gene bind to DNA in a sequence specific manner and also induce conformational changes in the DNA. Describe the purpose of thses two modes of interaction with the DNA. 2.
