Chapter 8, Problem 16P

The segment of the bacterial TrpA gene involved in intrinsic termination of transcription is shown below.

3'-TGGGTCGGGGCGGATTACTGCCCCGAAAAAAAACTTG-5' 5'-ACCCAGCCCCGCCTAATGACGGGGCTTTTTTTTGAAC-3'

a. Draw the mRNA structure that forms during transcription of this segment of the TrpA gene.

b. Label the template and coding DNA strands.

c. Explain how a sequence of this type leads to intrinsic termination of transcription.

The following bacterial DNA sequence uses the top strand as the coding strand and the bottom strand as the template strand. Write what the messenger RNA sequence for this gene would be after transcription occurs.
Below is the double stranded DNA sequence of part of a hypothetical yeast genome encoding a very small gene. Transcription starts at nucleotide immediately following the promoter. The termination sequence is TATCTC. How many amino acids will this protein have? 5' TCATGAGATA GCCATGCACTA AGGCATCTGA GTTTATATCT CA 3' 3' AGTACTCTAT CGGTACGTGAT TCCGTAGACT CAAATATAGA GT 5'
Given the following DNA sequence of the template strand for a given gene: 5' TTTCCGTCTCAGGGCTGAAAATGTTTGCTCATCGAACGC3' Part A ) Write the mRNA that will be transcribed from the DNA sequence above (be sure to label the 5' and 3' ends). Part B )  Use the genetic code to write the peptide sequence translated in a cell from the mRNA in part A. Please use the 3 letter abbreviation for each amino acid.  Part C: How would the peptide synthesized in a cell be different if the mRNA was translated in vitro (i.e. not in the cell)?
