Question 1. Suppose that the diagram below represents the genomic organization of an enzyme involved in eye pigment production in mice. Within the gene are four exons. Biochemical analysis has revealed that the active site of the enzyme is located in the C terminus of the protein. The nucleotide length of each exon and intron is shown. The dinucleotide sequence GT represents the 5’ splice site and the dinucleotide sequence AG represents the 3’ splice site. Both the 5’ and the 3’ splice sites must be present for splicing to occur. Assume that the first and second stop codons are located immediately after the first and second 5’ splice sites, respectively; the third and fourth stop codons are located near the 3’ end of exons 3 and 4, respectively; all these stop codons are in the correct reading frame. E) Suppose you isolate a mutant mouse that has white eyes. When you examine the size of the eye pigment enzyme produced by this mouse, you see that it is 400 amino acids long. Sequence…
QUESTION 23 Which of the following is not part of pre-mRNA processing in eukaryotes? Addition of a 5’ cap Excision of introns Addition of a 3’ poly-A tail Excision of the promoter
Question 2: Part a: Complete the table describing different components of intron removal from mRNA. Nu:, X and Y refer to B-type chemistry shown on the previous page. (YELLOW table shown) Part b: Complete the table describing different components of group I self-splicing intron removal from 26S rRNA in Tetrahymena. (BLUE table shown) Part c: Draw the intron with an all atom structure for Branchpoint A after intron removal from mRNA Part d: Draw the Group I self-splicing intron with an all atom structure for the Guanosine cofactor after intron removal from 26S rRNA in Tetrahymena.
Question 1 options: The specificity pocket of the serine protease chymotrypsin, which interacts with Tyr and Phe-containing peptide sequences, contains a Ser residue. A research group is trying to modify chymotrypsin such that it has a low KM with Trp-containing peptides. Enter the name or abbreviation of an amino acid that the Ser could be mutated to that would likely have the desired effect. (Hint: look at the diagrams of the specificity pockets shown in the course slides, and consider how the Ser would need to change to account for the difference between Tyr/Phe and Trp.)
QUESTION NO. 1Targeting a protein to be degraded within proteasomes usually requires ubiquitin. In the function of ubiquitin all of the following are true except: A. ATP is required for activation of ubiquicin. B. a peptide bond forms between the carboxyl terminal of ubiquitin and an ε-amino group of a lysine . C. linkage of a protein to ubiquitin does not always mark it for degradation. D. the N-terminal amino acid is one determinant of selection for degradation. E. ATP is required by the enzyme that transfers the ubiquitin to the protein to be degraded QUESTION NO. 2Much of procollagen formation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus which requires signal peptide. All of the following statements about targeting a protein for the ER are true except. A. signal peptide usually has a positively charged N-terminus and a stretch of hydrophobic amino acids. B. signal peptide emerging from a free ribosome binds signal recognition…
QUESTION 48 Identify the best match between the mutation description and term. a. Synonymous mutation: has the potential to cause large changes in transcription and subsequence amino acid sequence due to reading frameshifts b. Nonsense mutation: causes a drastic change in phenotype because the change causes a premature stop in the amino acid sequence c. Indel: a change in the DNA that changes the codon code from one amino acid to another amino acid d. Missense mutation: results in a change in single nucleotide from a purine to another purine or a pyrimidine to another pyrimidine but does not change the amino acid sequence

How does the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that attaches the amino acid proline know which tRNA to attach the proline to?Question 24 options: A) the synthetase recognizes the sequence of the first 3 bases on the 3' end of the tRNA B) the synthetase reads the anticodon as well as a few other unique bases in tRNAPro C) proline only fits into the 3-dimensional structure of the tRNAPro D) the synthetase randomly chooses a tRNA
44. Mature human insulin is synthesized from a single Gene but contains two polypeptide chains (A and B) linked by disulfide bonds. Which of the following statements about the A and B chains provides the best explanation for the production of human insulin?a. They are identical and combine to form the mature insulin - A has 21 chains, Bhas 30b. They are produced by proteolytic processing of a single translation productC. They are the products of alternative translation-initiation sites on a single mRNAd. They are the product of a separate A- and B-chain mRNA produced byalternative splicing - would lead to protein diversitye. They are the products of separate A- and B-chain mRNA synthesized fromalternative promoters
