The man's genetic defect appears to be due to the mutation of the promoter region of a protein X. This protein is an activator of an enzyme Y that detoxifies reactive oxygen species and free radicals. DNA sequence analysis using the Sanger method of the mutated region around the TATA box detected the following products: Normal With Genetic Disorder ddNTP +ddTTP tetranucleotide tetranucleotide pentanucleotide pentanucleotide heptanucleotide heptanucleotide +ddATP mononucleotide mononucleotide trinucleotide trinucleotide hexanucleotide +ddCTP dinucleotide dinucleotide nonanucleotide hexanucleotide nonanucleotide +ddGTP octanucleotide octanucleotide decanucleotide decanucleotide What base was altered and to what was it changed?

A researcher discovered Suramin as a potent and selective inhibitor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis RecA protein and the SOS response. What would be the outcome if the action of RecA was inhibited during the SOS response? O LexA would not autolyse, and therefore the transcription of DNA repair genes would not occur; the bacteria would likely not survive. O LexA would autolyse, and therefore the transcription of repair genes would not occur; that would be lethal to the bacteria. LexA would autolyse, and therefore the transcription of DNA repair genes would occur; and the bacteria will be susceptible to antibiotics. LexA would not autolyse, and therefore the transcription of repair genes would occur; essentially that would be lethal to the bacteria.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetically heritable disease caused by the loss of the chloride channel, CFTR. Studies of this gene have found that the Gene includes 250,000bp in the DNA. Scientists found that the mRNA had 6,500 nucleotides, and the final protein had 1480 amino acids. How much of the mRNA is untranslated? How much of the RNA that is produced does not leave the nucleus? One of the mutations that results in a disease phenotype can be easily identified because the mutation results in a much longer mRNA then normal. Where would you look for this mutation? What might this mutation have affected?
(b) (c) Point mutations in multiple tumor suppressor proteins have been linked to cancer. For example changes in the gene for adenomatous-polyposis-coli protein (APC gene) may result in colorectal cancer. Consider the following DNA sense strand. 3-TAC CGG TTG TGA AGC TGA ATC-5' Derive the mRNA molecule from the given DNA strand sequence above, paying attention to the polarity of the molecule. (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Write down the polypeptide chain sequence arising from the mRNA molecule of the question above, using the table of the genetic code (Table Q1 overleaf) and indicate the C- and the N-terminus of the peptide chain. Point mutations of a cytosine (C) often lead to the dysfunction of the APC protein. Write down all possible polypeptide chains that can result from all possible DNA mutations of cytosines, disregarding a mutation in the MET/START and STOP codons. Specify which of the point mutations identified in (d) are redundant? For the given tRNA for Thrombin (Thr) write down all…
