Question
What is the length in AA’s of the LilP protein? Assume fMet is NOT CLEAVED. Enter just the number, nothing else! Write out the sequence of the polypeptide in AA: use the three letter notation, e.g. Met-Ser-Pro- A lilP mutant called lilPXS is isolated that produces a truncated polypeptide of only 6 AA in length. Describe a single basepair DNA change that would lead to this truncated version of the protein. Multiple options are possible (100 words max.)
