Chapter 31, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A mutation in tRNA should be proposed to suppress frameshifting mutation.

Concept Introductio:

A frameshift mutation is a kind of genetic mutation which is caused due to the incorporation or deletion of a nucleotide in a DNA sequence. As a codon is a triplet in nature, the deletion or insertion of the reading frame changes the translation process completely leading to the formation of non-functional protein.

An extra piece. In one type of mutation leading to a form of thalassemia, the mutation of a single base (G to A) generates a new 3' 3' splice site (blue in the illustration below) akin to the normal one (yellow) but farther upstream.

The reading frame after the splice site begins with TCT.

Leaderless. The MRNA for the A repressor begins with 5'-AUG-3', 5'-AUG-3', which encodes the methionine residue that begins the protein. What is unusual about this beginning? Would it cause the MRNA to translate efficiently or not?
