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.

What is the amino acid sequence of the extra segment of protein
synthesized in a thalassemic patient having a mutation leading to
aberrant splicing? 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?
Polymerase inhibition. Cordycepin inhibits poly(A) synthesis at low
concentrations and RNA synthesis at higher concentrations.

Cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine)
a. What is the basis of inhibition by cordycepin?
b. Why is poly(A) synthesis more sensitive than the synthesis of other
RNAS to the presence of cordycepin?
c. Does cordycepin need to be modified to exert its effect?

- Inducers and Inhibitors of AEP. Short peptides such as legumain stabilization and activity modulation (LSAM) domain and αvβ3 integrin could enhance the activity of AEP. LSAM domain known as the prodomain of AEP blocks substrate binding before activation. This prodomain has a helical structure and two independent peptides. One is an activation peptide (AP, K287 to N323), and the other is a LSAM domain. LSAM domain remains even after AP is cleaved and released from protease at neutral pH via electrostatic interaction. AEP without LSAM domain has a lower melting temperature than AEP with LSAM domain [77, 117]. Another short peptide, αvβ3 integrin, can directly interact with AEP, and after forming a complex, the optimal pH for AEP activity is increased from 5.5 to 6.0. It indicates that αvβ3 binding could induce conformational stabilization of AEP accompanied by deprotonated C189. αvβ3 does not directly interact with the AEP active site; however, AEP docks to the αvβ3 RGD-binding site…arrow_forwardPlease keep it short.
