Document Summary

Gene mutation: a small change in the structure of a single gene. One way new genes (traits) can be created! Based on how the mutation affects gene expression: silent mutations, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, frameshift mutations, silent mutations: do not alter aa sequence! Codon happens to code for the same amino acid! Mutant gene functions exactly the same as normal gene: missense mutation: changes a single amino acid in a polypeptide chain. May or may not alter protein function. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a missense mutation. Generally harmful, except in tropical regions with malaria: nonsense mutation. Change from a normal codon to a stop codon. Hurler syndrome due to enzyme deficiency, causes progressive organ damage & eventually death: frameshift mutation: addition or deletion of nucleotides that are not multiples of 3. Tay-sachs enzyme to break down gangliosides defective; neuron cells in brain & body deteriorate. Mutations in promoter & regulatory regions can alter gene expression.

Part B

Think about the DNA coding sequence of a gene. If an A were swapped for a T, what kind of mutation could it cause and why?

a) It could cause a frameshift nonsense or frameshift missense mutation because it would change the reading frame of the codon triplet.

b) It could cause a silent, missense, or nonsense mutation because those are the types that can be caused by a nucleotide-pair substitution like this one.

c) It could cause a nonsense mutation because the sequence would no longer be the same, so the protein would be shorter and non-functional.

d) It could cause a silent mutation because A and T are complementary to each other so it is not really a substitution mutation.

Part C

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation in the same protein?

a) A substitution missense mutation causes the protein to be shorter and thus non-functional.

b) A frameshift missense will cause the codons to be out of order, but a substitution missense does not change the order of the codons.

c) A frameshift missense mutation will cause an early Stop codon, but a substitution missense might be silent.

d) A substitution missense affects only one codon, but a frameshift missense affects all codons downstream of the frameshift.

Part D

Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?

a) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUACAGAGUGA-3â

b) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUACGUUGGAGUGA-3â

c) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA-3â

d) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUGUGACAUUGGAGUGA-3â

Part F

Suppose that the triplet of nucleotides indicated in bold (AGC) spans two codons, that is, CTA and GCC. If the triplet AGC were deleted from this DNA coding sequence, what effect would it have on the resulting protein?

5â-ATGCTAGCCTATCGTAAC-3â

a) The two flanking codons would be altered, but the rest of the amino acid sequence would be the same because there would be no frameshift.

b) The entire amino acid sequence would be altered due to the frameshift.

c) All of the amino acids after the deletion would be altered due to the frameshift.

d) All of the amino acids up to the deletion would be altered due to the frameshift.

The amino-acid sequence shown in the following table was obtained from the central region of a particular polypeptide chain in the wild-type and several mutant bacterial strains: Codon 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

a. Wild-type: Phe Leu Pro Thr Val Thr Thr Arg Trp

b. Mutant 1: Phe Leu His His Gly Asp Asp Thr Val

c. Mutant 2: Phe Leu Pro Thr Met Thr Thr Arg Trp

d. Mutant 3: Phe Leu Pro Thr Val Thr Thr Arg

e. Mutant 4: Phe Pro Pro Arg

f. Mutant 5: Phe Leu Pro Ser Val Thr Thr Arg Trp

Each mutant represents a single nucleotide change from the original wild-type gene. For each mutant, explain what SINGLE nucleotide mutation at the DNA level accounts for the change(s) in amino acid sequence. Also, state in which codon and which position the mutation took place and then fully characterize the mutation as a base-pair substitution mutation (transversion or transition; and missense, nonsense, etc.) or a frameshift mutation. Finally, recreate as much of the original wild-type mRNA sequence as possible.
