Chapter 26.9, Problem 26.19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three different base triplets that could be combined to code for the given amino acids Leu-Leu-Leu has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Codon: A sequence of three ribonucleotides in the mRNA chain that codes for a specific amino acid; also a three-nucleotide sequence that is a stop codon and stops translation.

Genetic code: The sequence of nucleotides, coded in triplets (codons) in mRNA that determines the sequence of amino acids in protein synthesis.

Illustrated relationships are:

DNA informational strand: 5’ ATG  CCA   GTA  GGC  CAC   TTG   TCA  3’

DNA Template strand: 3’ TAC  GGT   CAT  CCG  GTG   AAC   AGT  5’

mRNA: 5’ AUG  CCA  GUA  GGC  CAC  UUG   UCA  3’

protein: Met    Pro     Val    Gly     His    Leu      Ser

Notice: 5’ end of the mRNA strand codes for the N-terminal amino acid, whereas the 3’ end of the mRNA strand codes for the C-terminal amino acid. Proteins are always written N-terminal to C-terminal, reading left to right.

A hypothetical tripeptide Leu-Leu-Leu could be synthesized by the cell. What three different base triplets in mRNA could be combined to code for this tripeptide?
The mRNA formed from the repeating tetranucleotide UUACincorporates only three amino acids, but the use of UAUC incorporates four amino acids. Why?
Draw a pre-mRNA with at least 4 exons and 3 introns and draw two possible mature mRNAs that can result from alternative splicing of this RNA.
