2a) In prokaryotes, a small ribosomal subunit can potentially get on an mRNA anywhere it can find enough space to do so. Once a small ribosomal subunit has bound to an mRNA, it will scan along that mRNA in the 5' to 3' direction looking for a start codon at which to initiate translation. How does the small ribosomal subunit distinguish a start codon from any other AUG codon that simply codes for methionine in the middle of a coding sequence?

Transcriptional regulation You are interested in studying the transcriptional regulation of Glp1 promoter. This gene contains a binding site for two proteins A and B. Proteins A and B cannot bind to the DNA at the same time due to steric interference caused by a slight overlap in their binding sites. The binding sites of protein A and protein B can be seen in the figure below. Protein A binds to Site C and Protein B binds to site D. To assess whether either A or B have an influence on Glp1 expression, you create mutations in the DNA that selectively remove the non-overlapping sequences of binding site C or binding site D. You then examine Glp1 mRNA production within adult liver cells. You receive the following data. Experiment number Binding site C Binding site D Glp1 mRNA levels 1 + + high 2 + - high 3 - + none 4 - - none += binding site present, -= binding site absent What does this data tell us about which protein is…
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.)
Alternative Splicing Possibilities Suppose exon 17 were deleted from the fast skeletal muscle troponin T gene (Figure 29.46). How many different mRNAs could now be generated by alternative splicing? Suppose that exon 7 in a wild-type troponin T gene were duplicated. How many different mRNAs might be generated from a transcript of this new gene by alternative splicing?
Substrate Binding by RNA Polymerase RNA polymerase has t binding sites for ribonucleoside triphosphates: the initiation site and the elongation site. The initiation site has a greater Km for NTPs than the elongation site. Suggest what possible significance this fact might have for the control of transcription in cells.

mRNA stability is a key regulator of protein levels in a cell. Briefly describe the three mRNA degradation pathways. Suppose that a yeast cell has a mutation in the DCP1 gene, resulting in decreased uncapping activity. Would you expect to see a change in the P bodies found in this mutant cell?

In vitro translation systems have been developed inwhich specific RNA molecules can be added to a testtube containing a bacterial cell extract that includes allthe components needed for translation (ribosomes,tRNAs, amino acids). If a radioactively labeled aminoacid is included, any protein translated from that RNAcan be detected and displayed on a gel. If a eukaryoticmRNA is added to the test tube, would radioactive protein be produced? Explain.
