I. A protein, X, was Isolated from a pathogenlc mlcroorganism. The proteln Is a vlrulence factor whose path0genlclty lies In a heptapeptide of unknown sequence. After trypsin cleavage of the heptapeptide from protein X, the peptlde's compOsition and sequence was determined. The fOllowing were the results of the sequenclng process: 1. When the peptide was treated with dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), DNP-asp and a mixture of amino acids were produced. 2. When the same Intact peptide was treated with streptococcal protease, a pentapeptide of composition asp, asN, cys, gly and ser and 2 amlno acids were released. 3. When the heptapeptlde was also treated with hydrOxylamine HCI, a tripeptide and a tetrapeptide were obtained. The C-terminal amino acid of the tripeptide was asN. 1) What is the sequence of the heptapeptide if it is composed of cys, asp, lys, asN, gly and ser only? 2) What is the pl of the heptapeptide?

Sickle-cell disease is caused by a so-called point mutation in the humanβ - globin gene. A point mutation is the result of a single base substitution inthe DNA encoding a gene. The sickle-cell mutation results in the substitutionof Val for Glu at position 6 in the β - globin protein.(a) Using the information in as shown, explain how a point mutationcould change a codon for Glu to a codon for Val.(b) Do you expect the pI for the sickle-cell β - globin to be higher or lowerthan the pI for wild-type β-globin ? Explain.

. Geneticists interested in human hemoglobins havefound a very large number of mutant forms. Some ofthese mutant proteins are of normal size (but haveamino acid substitutions) while others are short, dueto deletions or nonsense mutations. The first extralong example was named Hb Constant Spring, inwhich the β-globin has all of its normal amino acidsplus several extra amino acids attached after thenormal C-terminal end of the protein. a. What is the most plausible explanation forits origin?b. Is it possible that Hb Constant Spring arose fromfailure to splice out an intron?c.
