Question

#3: Gene Translation

For the m-RNA nucleotide code given below, what is the corresponding sequence of amino acids?

AUG CAG UGU CAA GAU GCC CUA AAG AUG GAG CUC AAA GCA AUG AAG GCG GAG CAC CCU AGA UCC AAU GGA GAC UUU ACC UGG AUC UAU GUA ACG UUU GUC UAU AUA ACA UGG UUC UCC AGA UGU GCU GUU CCC UGA

The -helices are known to contain primarily the amino acids methionine, alanine, leucine, glutamate, and lysine, while -pleated sheets are known to primarily contain the amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, valine, and threonine.

What type of secondary and/or tertiary protein structure is suggested by this amino acid sequence?

Sketch a possible post-translational folded configuration of this protein, given the structural aspects you have determined by answering these questions.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER- corresponding sequence of amino acids is

M Q C Q D A L K M E L K A M K A E H P R S N G D F T W I Y V T F V Y I T W F S R C A V P STOP

Contains both -helices and -pleated sheets .
