Document Summary

January 6th, 2020 holo - whole kaustos - burnt sacrificial offering khurbn - destruction of the temple shoah - catastrophe. Some historians argue its similarity to other genocides - if this were true, they argue that it would lift some of the guilt (germans not as culpable) The term holocaust" is largely misused, ex. to describe extermination of many different nationalities, when in reality it was intended to exterminate the jews. Often referred to as a crime against humanity, but it is really a crime against the jews. Steven katz believed the only genocide that should be labelled as such is when there is an attempt to put into practice an explicit ideology which calls for the murder of every single person of a single group. One could argue it is unique due to the extermination of culture that is impossible to recover - died with the victims.

A single base substitution in the anticodon loop of one of thetRNAs for glutamic acid (tRNAglu) can hypothetically generate amutant tRNA that is able to suppress translational termination bycausing insertion of a glutamic acid residue at certain terminationcodons. Such mutant tRNAs are in fact encountered in nature and arereferred to as suppressor tRNAs. Assume that there are two tRNAgenes for glutamic acid (so that this hypothetical mutation wouldnot be lethal) and that one of these tRNAs acquires a single basemutation in its anticodon loop. Assume also that this tRNA has a Uresidue at the wobble position (and can therefore base pair withboth Glu codons) and that the mutation does NOT occur at thiswobble position.

A) What is the nucleotide sequence of the wildtype anticodon oftRNAglu (5â?3â polarity) and what is the mutant sequence that wouldhave the properties described above?

Wt sequence:

Mutant sequence:

B) At which stop codons would the mutant tRNAglu be able tosuppress translational termination? (assume that G-U base pairingis possible at the wobble position)

C) Mutations of the sort described above are rarely encountered innature, due in part to the existence of a key step in the chain ofevents that helps ensure translational fidelity. What is this stepand how might it prevent suppressor tRNAs from being able toincorporate amino acids at stop codons?
