Question
Wild type genomic sequence of a portion of a gene and the wild type sequence of portion of the protein gene
product. The protein sequence only matches partially.
ТАT AAA GGG СGA ССА ССТ GсT AАT GGG АСт тTG AGG
Tyr Lys Gly Arg Pro Pro Ala Pro Arg Gln Tyr Trp
Note: The five amino acids at the amino end of the WT protein match the coding sequence perfectly, but not
the six at the carboxyl end. This is for an obvious reason that you should figure out before starting the
problem. One of the difficulties with this problem is that you do not have the DNA sequence for the carboxyl
end of the protein, but that should not be a problem! And, so far, there are no mutations; nothing unusual, it is
just a normal eukaryotic gene!!
A mutant is found that has the following protein sequence in that part of the protein:
Tyr Lys Gly Arg Thr Cys Ser Premature Stop. What is the likely mutation?
between A12 and C13 insert T.
between C13 and C14 insert T.
A15 -> del.
C13 and C14 -> del.
G8 -> T.
G20 -> A.
T21 -> del.
